And she only lives a 5 minute walk away.
Invited her over for Xmas lunch as she' be on her own otherwise. She happily accepted. I said come over for 12.30, we'll have a drink and chat and food will be ready at 2pm.
She called at 1.30pm to say she was just getting dressed. I said ok, no problem. She said she'd be setting off before 2. Not worries I said.
It's now almost 3pm.
Food is sitting in the oven, starters have been out over half an hour .,,,
Aibu to say to my DP let's start without her ?!

I'd be fucking furious. I hate people being late, it is SO rude 😬

A friend of mine was supposed to come round after I finished work in Christmas Day. She didn't turn up. I was very concerned as she was completely uncontactable. Ended up driving round to hers in the pouring rain to see if she was ok. Got no answer. Turns out she lay down in her bed and fell asleep till 9am. She was mortified. I just said I was glad she wasn't dead!

No need for anything other than you should have started when your food was ready. All the other posts cover.

Surely there was some explanation as to how it went from "be there before two" to turning up at three?
