So for context my BF texts me earlier in the week to invite me to a dinner party on Friday with mutual friends. I gladly accept the invitation. Within hours she says she can't host as they are having an advert filmed at their house till 7pm. I say no problem, I will host - I've been meaning to invite all the invitees to mine. So today I went and did all my shopping for the dinner party - stuffed mushrooms, a chicken main and almond citrus cake with fruit and vanilla yoghurt, wine. Because of the recipe I chose I've got a lot of chicken now marinading in the fridge.
For reference I've just been made redundant from my job (high level executive) and although I've got a decent redundancy I am concerned about how long I can survive whilst I'm busy applying for jobs. Short version: I'm not free with my money right now
Tonight it starts to unravel. Advert venue wondering if they will make it because the filming might overrun. They might be late. The other couple both have heavy colds and are uncertain if they will make it. Maybe one will.
So no one's faults but feeling a bit meh. I just rang my BF and she and partner (ad venue) still plan to come - she might be a bit late. I'm sure it will all work out one way or another, and I know its no ones fault, but I'm feeling a bit spent cash and energy wise.
Not sure what I'm posting for. I can freeze what's not eaten mostly. Just a bit frustrated. Had a glass or two to sympathise with myself.
