Arranged dinner and drinks with three girlfriends, at mine, for tonight. Started prepping yesterday, bought most of the stuff and yet at lunchtime today got a message from one saying she "wasn't sure" if she was going to make it as she was feeling a bit fluey, and anyway her elderly mother who lives with them, was also under the weather but she would let me know.
And I've just come out of the shop loaded with wines and got a call from another one saying her DP wanted to go out for a drink tonight and she didn't have a babysitter if he didn't come home and she was going to phone round and let me know.
It's nearly 5pm and I don't know whether to start cooking, or sack it off and cancel the one remaining guest and drink all the booze myself!!!
