If I book for x amount of people, I expect x amount to turn up, except her and her

MIA.
I TOLD YOU. Laughing so hard that I predicted a certain somebody would come up with a last minute excuse and they did. HAAAAA. HAAAAA. HAAAA.

I'm kinda annoyed that a few are dogging last minute... I mean seriously... I booked for you, mate. The waiters aren't going to be very happy, especially since it's a popular restaurant and on a FRIDAY NIGHT AS WELL in the CITYY. ugh. On the other hand, I'm kind of fist pumping cos the very few people who are not going last minute are those(pity invite) who I don't fancy very much. Does this make me a shallow person or just a good host for at least offering? HAHA.

But seriously, thank goodness it wasn't a deposit booking cos some poor excuse such as "oooh I just have too much assessments to finish" is not gonna cut it. DUDE. I ASKED YOU A WEEK IN ADVANCE IF YOUR SCHEDULE IS FREE AND IF YOU'RE NOT TOO BUSY WITH ASSESSMENTS. When you say you can come FOR SURE I assume that you are absoluuuutely free. You could at least spare me your bullshit and just be honest or just come up with a better excuse.

Unless you're sick then whatever, can't be helped. Just don't tell me last minute with some crappy excuse. You should have at least known 1-2 days prior that you were gonna be too busy and tell me way in advance. Now I probably won't even have time to look for replacements...
