I spoke to my friend this morning and asked if she wanted to bring her DCs over to play. She said she couldnt' but would love to meet up later at the arts centre for lunch. We agreed to that and I got the children ready and out on the bus. Arts centre about 20 minutes away.
When we got there there was no sign of her. I tried her mobile and got no response. We waited half an hour and I tried again and still nothing. We waited another 20 mintues that gave up and went and got ourselves a picnic as the weather was so lovely.
I tried at 4pm and left a message saying I hope she was alright as we were really worried about her and hoped everything was ok. I just got a text saying "oh sorry went to a bbq at sisters instead and forgot to let you know"
AIBU to feel really hurt and very irritated that she couldn't be bothered to let me know and put us to all the inconvenience of getting there for no reason. We still had a lovely time once we made up our minds they weren't coming but wasted nearly an hour waiting (she's often at least half an hour late at the best of times).
