and ask if they are coming round?

Saw neighbours last week and arranged for them to come over tonight for drinks and food. They said they'd be here between 6-7 and they haven't turned up.

I have done really nice food and got in some cava. i am sitting here in a dress and have done my make up and i feel like such a loser.

Well?

I bet they mixed the days up.

Or they're dead? Hopefully not though.

Perhaps they thought you were swingers?

Maybe she's gone round to neighbours house with the cava in her hand and bottled them in the face? Maybe she's sitting in a cell as we speak?

(I need to stop watching Tarantino films)..

If the neighbours are there and they're getting into their swinging, presumably she'll be too tied up to post on here and reasurre us?

No news is good news?

The update had better be good.

Yes, but perhaps save us from the finer details.

Maybe they've put the bottle to a different use than just drinking it and its got stuck , so on the way to hospital maybe ?

Hello All. Sorry to keep you waiting...

Well DP went round and said 'would you like to come for a drink' (why he said that i don't know) and they were eating dinner and said 'yes, we'll be 5 min, just finishing dinner'. They looked a bit miffed at DP and didn't apologise. DP came home and told me and i said that's rude to eat dinner first etc.

Anyway, they arrived, didn't eat anything of course, and me and dp ate ours and were chatting. THEN in the conversation mrs neighbour said something about seeing us tomorrow and implied they would be over for dinner. I wasn't sure whether to be terribly english and cancel my new years plans so i could be polite and be here. BUT i said 'sorry, are you planning to come over tomo' and it emerged they thought the invite was for tomo and thought DP had basically summoned them over tonight at a moments notice and the plans were still on for tomo. It didn't occur to them the dates had been mixed up and today was Sunday.

Surely you would realise when DP turned up at your door and when they arrived and a buffet was laid out that we didn't want to see them 2 nights in a row and that isn't how we eat our dinner!

Sounds like a plot for a sitcom spuddy.

Are they called Terry and June? Or Margot and Jerry?

Looking for the other thread.....my neighbours invited us round for NYE, then they cancelled at the last minute.

BluelightsAndSirens · 30/12/2012 23:07

So are they coming over again tomorrow?

Did you eat all of the food tonight?

We have been in a similar situation - moved house and invited our neighbours round for a drink at 5ish on Saturday - thought we could have a quick drinky then dinner. They never showed, so we eventually had our dinner at about 9, and lo and behold, they turned up then! All very bizarre! we've never had an invite back!

Spuddybean · 30/12/2012 23:11

Yes, all very awkward! I seriously considered changing our plans just to stop the pain. But they just carried on talking about seeing us tomo like the thought of them getting it wrong never crossed their minds.

I said we invited you for sunday and they said 'is that not nye then?' ummm no.

I think I'll make a new year's resolution to lay out a full buffet for my dinner every night. I like the sound of that

I like hollas idea, buffets are the way forward!

Report

Spuddybean · 30/12/2012 23:23

but the sight of the buffet didn't make them click. i mean, who lays out posh crisps, nuts, homemade (note that - no iceland baileys pudding stuff here) sausage rolls and sweet potato wedges, 4 different cheeses, salads, fruit, dips etc for their dinner then marches round their neighbours house and 'invite' them in a rude we've been expecting you way?

May I just say RESPECT to you for not just crumbling and cancelling your YE plans! I probably would have done, I would have been scarlet and cringing, furious with myself after they had left, impotently raging at them (again, after they had left) and it would have taken me weeks to get over it!

How awful for you. Thank God it was their fault
