  Why do people leave it so late??? rant alert

  Contact Sorry ladies, but i feel i need to get this off my chest. Its my hen night tomorrow and i've booked 12 tickets as thats how many people said they were coming. I've since had 2 people drop out. 1 was a mate from school that i've kept in contact with. She is just not returning my messages so have just taken her off the list. Luckily i managed to find someone to take her place. I have now been told TODAY that someone else cant come because she wont be able to afford it!!! She hasnt even paid for her ticket. Well thanks for leaving it this late to let me know and giving me SOME notice! pi**ed off is the not word Are people just out to annoy me and ruin my night? No need to reply, just need to vent Married November 5th 2010 J - Dec 2005 - 9lb 6oz due May 2012

Don't stress too much though, at least you know your real friends will be the ones there - the ones that dont come aren't worth the worry! :) xxx ~ Natalie and Tim - 7th May 2011 ~

  yummymummy05 Joined on 23-Jul-2007 United Kingdom Posts 3,406	Contact Thanks Ladies, Tickets are £15, so its not like i'm asking for a fortune or going somewhere strange. I'm going to the city centre for gods sake!! Its not like i'm asking them to spend hundreds and jump on plane somewhere! It just bugs the hell out of me when people let you down so close to the event. Married November 5th 2010 J - Dec 2005 - 9lb 6oz due May 2012

  Contact Oh dear thats so rude of them! TBH I'm expecting ppl to drop out as I know some of my work 'friends' are useless and do let me down a lot. So I've told my sister to get money off them up front so no-one is out of pocket if they cancel. At least the people that matter have made the effort. Thats what I'll be telling myself! Dont let it ruin your night. xxx   TTC #1 but my stupidly long cycles are getting in the way!

  Contact ajdown: cosmo87: I knew there was a reason i loved Hitched!! The only problem i have is that i've now had to pay for the ticket that is now not being used!   Is there nobody else you could ask?  Maybe they aren't quite so good a friend but if they pay for the otherwise wasted ticket, then that's half the problem solved :)     I think i've exhausted all my resources. I'm even at the point of asking my BM if she wants to bring a friend!!!! Married November 5th 2010 J - Dec 2005 - 9lb 6oz due May 2012
