Last Saturday I had two friends round.
We had arranged weeks ago that they would come to mine for drinks (for my birthday) and I would cook tea. Nothing fancy, but I love to cook for people (as they know) and was really looking forward to catching up and to being hostess for a change.
On Saturday mornig I shopped for and cooked a lovely fish pie, all ready to go in the oven later.
At 3pm my friend texted me to ask what I was cooking as she is doing Slimming World and if it didn't suit, she would bring her own dinner.
I replied saying it's fish pie but I have lots of salad as well, please don't bring your own meal - I have shopped and cooked specially.
She replied saying "yum".
They arrived at 7 and when, at 7:30, I said "right - I'll pop dinner on", my friend said "oh - I've already eaten, I had a SW meal. I'll not have any thanks".
I thought this was so rude. But when I moaned to my sister about it today she said Iwbu as SW friend shouldn't feel she has to eat fattening food just to please me. And I think she was probably right. But still - she was the one who didn't bother to tell me until 4 hours before dinner and she led me to believe that she was ok with it.
I still think the way she handled it was shit. If I had known a day or two earlier I would have cooked something a bit healthier.
AIBU to have felt a bit gutted (and to have felt cheated out of my rare chance to cook for friends)?
