Until this morning I thought I was soon to be going, with a friend, to see Chris McCausland at a local theatre.
He was here for one night in February and tickets sold out before I could book. I am on the ATG theatres mailing list and had an email alerting me to another later date in York. I presumed this was an addition to the tour and quickly booked.
Just after that OH and I went to see comedienne Lucy Beaumont at the same theatre. OH felt she couldn't hear properly, missed a lot of the jokes and said she didn't want to go to Chris MsCausland in May , and I should find someone else to go with!
Anyway my friend ( OH of the annoying friend) wanted to go. It was May 17th and we were looking forward to it.
This morning we were invited to OH's godson's 18th birthday celebrations on May 17th. I told OH I wouldn't be able to go as I was at the theatre that night. I was slightly puzzled as the invitation was for a Saturday and the show was a Sunday.
I checked the tickets, and we are booked for May 17th, it is a Sunday - but its 2026!!
I feel very stupid. I have told my friend and she was very kind about it. I have told her she's not obliged to come as it so so far ahead. She says she hopes to still come. I can't expect her to pay me her share this far ahead though so I will be out of pocket for ages!
No one's faut but mine. Because I had the mail alert and I knew it would sell out fast I was too hasty to book and obviously didn't double check
At least we are free to go to the birthday party!
