In a couple of weeks I’m heading up to Newcastle, I don’t really need to go but I was invited to an old primary/ junior school chums meet up and rather than say I didn’t want to go I said I had to go to Newcastle that day.
I bought myself a train ticket to Newcastle so that I wouldn’t be telling an untruth that I couldn’t make it.
I’m not a one for sitting in pubs at the best of times and I don’t want to reminisce about the ‘good old days’. We met up earlier this year and I don’t feel I need to do it again.
I know I could have just said I couldn’t go but it’s a day out and I do get to see Fenwick’s Christmas window which I’ve been told is excellent this year.
Is there a better way to get out of things you don’t want to do?
