Mum Somehow Organising Dad’s Work Christmas Party

A local Mum is expected to receive an “Mother Of The Year” nomination this week, after once again stepping in to help out her useless husband.

With less than three weeks to go in the working year, and silly season in full swing, it’s believed mum Kathy Rodgers was livid when she found out her husband Trevor is still yet to arrange a work Christmas party for his 10 employees.

The owner of a small labour hire business, for weeks Trevor’s been saying “it’ll figure itself out” when asked about what he plans to do for his group of employees.

But now under serious pressure to deliver some form of dinner, drinks or a just a BBQ with good meat for his team of 10, Trevor seems to have done what he does best and contract it out to someone willing to get their hands dirty.

“What if I booked a table at the Boathouse Pavillion?” offered Trevor, as he scratched his chin and thought of the only venue in town he can recall by name.

“Trev that is ridiculous, that would’ve been booked out since September,” fired back Kath hotly.

Now tasked with making sure Trevor’s team of employees feel valued and cherished before the year wraps up, phones have been running hot in the Rodger’s house tonight, as Kath gets some plans in motion.

“Let me call Nolene at the club, she might be able to get you a lane of barefoot bowls. And I’ll call the butcher tomorrow and order kebabs, steaks and the bakery next door will do fresh rolls too.”

“Just give me your card Trev, I’ll sort this out. If you see 10 Dan Murphy's gift cards getting charged to the account, just know it’s me. I’m making them little gift bags to take home to go with some baking!”
