Friend has changed her mind about xmas, now im alone

[Reddlion]

My friend has said from last week she is coming to mine for xmas. I will be alone i dont have family. I planned to go away but she said not to as she will be coming over I have spoken to her today whilst talking about Xmas shopping and said i have everything and she said she needs to get a chicken and she doesnt knoe what she is doing.
I am pissed off tbh she also cancelled todays dinner which was pre booked in mayfair.

Aibu? Wwyd?

Just saw that you have volunteered. You make me want to be a better person!

TheRottweiler no thanks needed I love to do it and if the OP is going to volunteer I know she will find it worthwhile

So sorry your friend is being so flakey and treating you as a convenience.
Enjoy your day: do what you want, eat what you want, watch what you want. It’s just a day like any other in the end (but with questionable tv broadcasting and is quite arbitrary to many) so enjoy spending quality time with other friends in the new year when things are less hectic.
Chocolates for dinner...?

I'd be looking last min flight out to somewhere hot and say screw it

Just to echo what Caulk said, reputable charities who work with people require volunteers to hold a DBS certificate. You can't just rock up.

OP there's another thread on here about those of us who will be spending Christmas on our own if you want to join in. Also Sarah Millican's dedicated thread on Twitter.

Thank you everyone
