I've had a New Year's Eve party planned since October, invited sil and our 2 mutual friends, bil and his gf and my mil, my dh was also coming after he finishes work at 11pm. Today all of them have cancelled on me! Dh will still come after work but everyone else has cancelled I have spent over £150 on food and drinks and I feel so pissed off! Also means I'll be at home alone all night untill dh comes home
Ugh

What are their excuses?

Notacluethisxmas · 30/12/2018 16:38

Why have they all cancelled?

StealthPolarBear · 30/12/2018 16:38

That's awful, why?

DanielleEvans · 30/12/2018 16:38

I'll come :)

Oddcat · 30/12/2018 16:40

All of them have cancelled? I hope they have good reasons- I’d be pissed off too .

AnneLovesGilbert · 30/12/2018 16:41

Oh no! That sucks. YANBU to be pissed off and disappointed. Have they all said why?! I’m currently debating whether or not to go out tomorrow night as I’ve got a steaming disgusting cold and I’m bloody shattered. Going to ask the hosts how they feel about germs, happy to stay away if they’d rather not risk catching it as I know they have a busy week ahead. If they don’t care I’ll pack a bag of tissues, drag myself off the sofa and put my face on as I do want to see them even if we head home early.

ScreamingValenta · 30/12/2018 16:43

Anyone else you could invite - your neighbours maybe?

HugeAckmansWife · 30/12/2018 16:43

Have you told them that you've bought the food etc? It's a bit bloody late unless there's an emergency /real illness

StealthPolarBear · 30/12/2018 16:44

Can we come? I'm a bit put out that people have cancelled plans with us!

snowie01 · 30/12/2018 16:45

YANBU, that's awful.

Sil and 2 friends got invited to another party so are going there, bil and his gf are too tired to come apparently and my mil is unwell which is fair enough but I've just had such a crap year I wanted to spend nye with people I loved and they've all let me down, the food is fine it's all stuff we will eat but I don't drive and got a bloody taxi with 2 dcs yesterday to go and get it all, just feel fed up!

They've all pulled out?! That's awful!

What excuse have they got for none of them being able to make it?

Bastards.

WhoTookTheChristmasCookie · 30/12/2018 17:06

Cross-posted.

Apart from MIL being ill, none of those excuses would fly.
Being invited somewhere else and taking up that offer instead of the original is fucking rude.
Being tired doesn't warrant cancelling the day before.

I'd be fuming if I were you and they'd all be told Angry

glenthebattleostrich · 30/12/2018 17:06

That is shit. Especially those going to a different party.

I'm really sorry, hopefully they'll get bloody food poisoning at their party!

SeraphinaDombegh · 30/12/2018 17:09

Invited to another party? How fucking rude is that? If you're committed to a social engagement you don't accept further invites! I'd be steaming mad if I were you. I'm sorry OP Sad

TheOxymoron · 30/12/2018 17:09

Blown out for another party offer! Wow, they are not worth your time or effort in future.
People can be so rude and fickle.

Sorry this has happened to you OP. Flowers

I know! Being tired isn't a valid excuse I'm my book they don't have any children and have both been off work for over a week! I'm bloody nackered and was still willing to host! We were hosting here as I couldn't get a baby sitter so I can't even make other plans now

I just feel so upset and tearful, was so looking forward to being around everyone and having a decent New Years for once

Childfree people are allowed to be tired too. Confused

StoneofDestiny · 30/12/2018 17:22

Get your neighbours round

HolyMountain · 30/12/2018 17:23

It’s extremely shit behaviour to cancel the night before because of a better offer elsewhere or tiredness .

I’d be sending a very pissed text or phoning up to say how fucked off you are.

Pumpkintopf · 30/12/2018 17:36

I think those who cancelled to go to another party /because they're tired, are very rude. Illness can't be helped.

Aprilsinparis · 30/12/2018 17:57

What a load of shit pots!

Mummyoftwo91 · 30/12/2018 17:58

Yes illness can't be helped I don't blame my mil at all she has a chronic illness so I totally understand, yes I know child free people can be tired too but they are known to be quite flakey so I'm not sure I believe their excuse! Don't know any of my neighbours I don't live in a nice area and they are all quite scary 😂 plus wouldn't want strangers round for the first time while my kids are here
