Annoyed by weekend guest

Have an old friend and her partner coming for the weekend. Asked her not to come on Saturday as I have been invited to a party - no problem, they would come and stay Sunday night. Then got a message that they wanted to come on Saturday. Asked my friend if they could come with me to the party - told them they could come to be told that no, they did not want to. So not sure what to do Saturday night. Asked a few days ago when they would expect to arrive. She asked if she could update me closer to the time. Messaged yesterday. Still not sure. Got a message saying they were going to another town on the way. Still no idea when they would arrive. No problem, did chores, went to an event I wanted to go to, aimed to be home about 3pm. Got an update saying they would be here 3.30pm. Said no problem, even if I had stopped at the supermarket on the way I would only be a minute or two away. Then got a message saying they would take their time. Several updates later they are expected at about 6pm. Am I unreasonable to be a bit annoyed at her?

Why would you allow yourself to be treated like this?

Why did you allow her to come when you had said you were busy Saturday?

Messing you around about arrival time?

If you have zero respect for yourself you cannot be surprised that awful rude people will take advantage.

You should go out and turn off your phone.

Let her find somewhere else to stay to night.

Did you invite them for the weekend and then say actually you can’t come on sat as I’m going to a party? If so then you’re rude. Sunday isn’t a weekend and you should’ve declined the party invite.

This.

Thanks for the comments - they were originally going to come on Sunday, but changed it, and I told them when they wanted to change it about the party. As an update they went out to dinner and I went to the party. Had a nice day with them today. I dont think I was whining, just wondering if I was being unreasonable for being annoyed about the constantly changing arrival time.
