Is it too early to have a large gin and tonic?
So glad to hear, you would feel so much worse if you had taken an angry approach and lost your friends.
Misunderstandings happen, at worst they were thoughtless but good friendship survives the bumpy bits.
Hope you had that G&T and enjoyed it!

Re: Quandary!

Well done, ST. It sounds as though you handled it admirably. Hope you enjoyed that G&T (or two!).

So, when are they coming around again, or not?

Re: Quandary!

I think it would depend if the two friends made a joint decision not to turn up, if this was the case, ignore them both, this would have the "Hallmark" of a clique.

You sound such a lovely person ST and I'm so glad it's all been sorted out between you and your friends
