After something like 30+ texts this evening practically one after another between four of us to arrange a date for a meal out we have finally agreed on July (yes JULY) to meet up for dinner. How on earth can people be soooooo busy that they can't arrange a couple of hours to meet up for about 12 weeks? Then there's the eatery! One Slimming World MUST have vegetables, no chips or potatoes(SW is a lifetime eating choice apparently), one evangelical vegan (cakes are not worth murdering chicks for)f & a vegetarian who will eat fish if nothing else on the menu. Then another b****y text to say oooooh ladies bring your diaries so we can fix up the next date!!!! I've just replied to that to say I'm not busy enough to need a diary & will just fit in as long as it's not a Monday or Wednesday (original suggestion was 3rd July & what day is that. What is so b***y difficult ? I know you'll be saying why don't I just not go, but we've known each other for over 30 odd years but I think I'm just getting old & crotchety, plus one of them refuses to let me duck out (if she's got to go so have I ) :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh:

Normally meeings planned so in advance have the same no-show rate of the ones arranged just in time. because if one is so busy to have a diary normally has other that are showing up at the last minute, like an ill kid or some work surprise.

Sometimes I meet with my former high-school comrades, and everytime someone has a problem and can't come. Some preparation of course is useful if one of them makes maintenance in a factory that runs 27/7 so he has to ask a couple of week before if he could be not at work in a given evening.
