Sorry Need To Vent

Well I had arranged a birthday dinner for myself out a local bar/restaurant and invited all my close friends to come out and celebrate with me as I hardly ever go out. That was all good, most people could come and booked that weekend and today the day we are ment to be going out I have had txt after txt saying sorry busy or can't make it see you next week, have fun without me and now im left with myself, DP and a good friend.....that is out of like10 people all of which I see on a weekly basis. I rang two others that hadn't cancelled and neither have answered the phone. I am left pretty depressed actually, the same thing happened with Neosha's birthday we had almost everyone RSVP by the date then 9 people cancel that day and 5 just not turn up, im probably having just a sensitive day but I have never missed an event that I was invited to, I make it to all their birthdays and dinner parties. I have only been here in Gisborne a couple of years but know my friends in Auckland would never do this to me especially on my birthday. Again im probably being over sensitive but it has been happening alot lately.

Do you think I am being unreasonable by getting upset? I chose an affordable place to go and on a day when people aren't working, gave 2 weeks notice and got people to rsvp.

Yeah there were no reasons... just oh well got other plans. I could understand if there were issues with kids and stuff but it's not. Oh well guess you know who your real friends are.

I was upset after a birthday like that too, and was telling DH that I must have real issues about it 'cause it just hurt my feelings so much - he said 'well anyone would be upset if that happened - happens to us all and I don't know anyone who doesn't feel stink about it'... and he's not at all sensitive, and doesn't indulge people in having 'issues' one bit! So if even he thinks that, I'd say you're not being a petal about it - it plain sux when that happens and I'm sure most of us have had it happen, too (so either we're all nigel no-mates or there's no need to take it personally, your friends as a collective just stink this weekend!).

Dont worry I'll still be there! We can have fun without everyone else!! And u so better not cancel cos Im SOOO going out!!!

Aww chick! I had a birthday like that last year, I was really gutted too and I really wanted to cancel the whole thing because I felt so stink about myself.
DH wouldn't let me though and even though it was only 5 of us in the end, we had such a fun night and I was really appreciative of the people who did make the effort to be there in the end.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Don't let slack friends spoil your night, you don't need lots of people there to have a good time.

Well we could always do something diff instead! Or u can tell the outlaws that they are invited after all

Oh yay bring on singstar! He he! God poor bruce having to put up with us 2!!

Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont worry about your friends........you have the most important people with you and that's all that matters. Hope you've had a great day....aside from the pullouts!

MIL has made a birthdy cake for the BBQ dinner we're having over there place, so I'm glad I didn't go down to the supermarket last night and buy one to eat by myself lmfao.

Happy Birthday

I would be P#SSED I don't mind people saying they can't make it but to say they will and then pull out the last minute really makes me mad. I have one friend in particular who does this on a regular basis and its got to the point I don't actually ask her to go to places as one she will say she will come and then doesn't or she just doesn;t reply to my invite so i am left wondering if she is or isnt coming.

It sure suxs
