H made contact via email (which seems to be the preferred method for him) asking about the birthday next week. Looks like he wants to go ahead with a family meal.
Time to get out the best frock, get my hair down, smile and generally look like he's the one missing out.
Got a few good GAL things going on between now and then which should shake him up a bit. We'll see.
Coaching sess is on saturday so I may get a few ideas on how to handle it before we meet.
