Friends. I've got some absolutely wonderful friends. These wonderful friends would do almost anything for me. Unfortunately I've found relying on friends to do things (even when they've begged you to help out) ends up with more stress for me, or having to do it myself.
Last year, other half had his tax done by a friend, and only got done just before the 31st Oct cut-off. As of this point we're still waiting for his tax refund, because something went wrong when she submitted them, and then she went overseas. She's been back for almost 2 months now, and everytime she says its being sorted, or says she'll call him, she doesn't. Apparently he should be getting it back next week. Kinda would be handy for the wedding.
The major thing that got me was one of other half's uni friend, who is obsessed with weddings. I dread her wedding, her poor boyfriend. Anyway, she "had to do the invitations" and I'm not creative at all, so was like, okay. This was organised in october. Even did the writing etc for her to print. Anyway,, oct goes, she's having uni exams and say it will be sorted soon. Then she goes on holidays for a week. Then she gets an extra job. I see her end of november, ask for it to be done soon, as I wanted them for xmas (so could give to family in person), so she finally made a mockup, after i had to type out all the invitation wording to print. Then she got a bit sick, and asked for an extra week. I said yep as long as its by xmas. Week before xmas, i message her and ask if i can pick them up that weekend. No, they're not done. So i organise to get them on wednesday. I take other half with me, and she's quickly giving me a bag, and lets me know she hasn't done 1/3 of them, but its all in there to do ourselves, and shoves us out. I was sooooooo angry. Both of us sat there that night, and put together the rest of them ourselves. Argh!!!
Even to the point of I can't trust them to turn up to something organised for them. I had my Hens party last night. Was supposed to be drinking, dancing, night out. I was home by 11:30, and people who had said that day that they would see me that night, didn't show. Not taking away from those that showed up... its just we're getting old and people want to go home. To be fair out of my group of friends i'm one of the last to get married. But I had told many people where and when i'll be out, and they said, yep i'll be there. And they're not. Its sad :(
I just feel that I can't rely on anyone, and so this makes me sad :( But also makes me stressed because I feel that I can't let anyone help me...
