To think my friends aren’t coming?

UnluckyCoil · 01/04/2023 17:16

Arranged earlier in the week for a catch up round mine which is a rarity as my DH is away- both friends agreed to come.
This morning at 9am, put a message in the group chat asking what time they were coming so I can make sure my house is tidy, make sure baby is asleep etc and neither have them have replied or even opened the message.
They are the kind of people who have theirs phones with them 24/7 so can’t imagine they’ve not looked at their phones for 8hrs.
I don’t mind but I guess I just want to know either way.. and I’ve bought drinks and snacks. I’d feel embarrassed to put a chase message in the group chat.
They aren’t coming are they?

Sorry press filter, not see all

I only have hide or report. No filter.

I wouldn't expect them till at least 9.30, but that's just me. I'm sure it would be OK just to give them a ring.

I prefer to arrange a time…….Just can’t stand being unsure, for example, have I got time to wash the kitchen floor before they turn up? Sort of end up wasting the day otherwise.

Rude and uncaring

Gutless too

Who? OP (who has left us all hanging) or her mates?

Don't think OP will return, so we shall never know

And they've now decided to start a new life at the weekend away destination and never log onto mumsnet again

It's rather frustrating isn't it Grin

ComeTheFuckOnBridgett · 06/04/2023 00:00

At least with her WhatsApp messages, OP knew her friends had at least read them.

I think it's best if we all just leave. We're not going to get an answer 😂.

This should be a meme...are my friends coming?

For therapeutic reasons we need to register our angst next time we see a friend. I should see one at the weekend and I will report back so we get closure. Although the odds are in my favour as I have the keys to his house so unless he hides underneath the bed there's no escaping me.
