My "lift buddy" has let me down again!

We have a friend whol lives nearby and we both go to the same college - I'm ful time, she's part time.
Every week we give her a lift in for her one lecture, and always turn up on time etc. We never reconfirm or anything, we are always at her house at 8.30 and that is that.
Dh is working (paid! not college) for the next 2 weeks. Today is "results" day, and 3 days ago she said she would take me in to college and drop dd2 at nursery on the way. So this morning I called to say when does she want us round to hers (I wasnt expecting her to come here) and she said that as I didnt call last night then she thought the arrangement was cancelled and she hasnt got time to take me in and take dd to nursery as well. Dh is away to work with the car - which is why I made this arrangement with my friend.
So .. now I have to take dd2 to nursery on the train and bus, and will be late for college, and my friend got a lie in instead.
I feel hacked off with her. We made an arrangement and she let me down. I know its just a little thing, but she does this sort of thing a lot - its always on her terms, and its OK to let me down. We never let her down.

I know thats probably what I shoudl do - just seems a bit petty "you didnt give me a lift, so I'm not giving you one, nar nar" etc ...
Also her dd is very good friends with my dd1.
I just feel like she should stick to plans, the way we do!

Harrisey - that is very annoying - if it's any comfort she may feel really bad too - perhaps you rang as the cat was swallowing the canary, the toast was burning and the window cleaner dropped by to see her hunting for a bra without holes in
All the best with the results!

Just thought you would like to know my results were great.
Had to take dd2 with me rather than nursery due to the time it takes on Public Transport but she was a little star and everyone loved her, so it didn't matter.
I came top= in the hardest course, which made me feel very good! I am
