Strange

penguin1977, 28 August, 2008 at 15:45 Posted on Planning 0 7

Really strange thing just happened - one of my friends who is coming on my hen weekend next Friday just pulled out by text saying she can't come because she has uni until 5pm. This has been arranged since like April and she has shelled out £100 for a flight and £150 for the weekend all of which is nonrefundable.

When I text her back I said what about the money and she said not to worry about that. Don't you think its a bit odd? There's being consciencious (sp?) but surely you would just finish classes a little bit earlier. Our flight isn't until 4.55pm so she wouldn't need to leave uni til 3.

And she hasn't even told Tahdah who has been organising everything! I had to tell her.

Am I right to be suss or should I just chill out?!

    What type of class does she have till 5pm? If she had an exam she would not be able to leave early.

    Organiser here!!

    She hasn't even told me yet, Pingu told me earlier...all very strange. Luckily you don't really need an even number of girls with what's planned. I've already said what if it was her hen night, would she pull out then? I'm sure if she spoke nicely to her uni people they'd let her leave a tad early...

    Harumph is all I can say. She's only just started (so not an exam) so it may be that she doesn't want to miss important starting stuff......but come 'on the flight is at 455pm so she would have to at the airport at 355 and leave uni and 3pm to get to the airport! I'm working until 2.30pm......Surely you can catch up.

    Anyway not gonna stew. Just a bit gutted that she is losing all that cash....I don't really have anyone else left to ask......I'm blessed with lots of luffly friends who do wanna come!
