I've had tonights halloween party arranged for weeks, I invited a work colleague and she was up for it etc, especially as her dp is working away and she doesn't like being on her own in the house.
She has just rung to cancel making some excuse about it being too late etc (she finishes at 3 and party starts at 4.30.
I've made party bags and the works. I HATE it when people cancel on the day of the party.
