Christmas lunch

But just hate it when people criticise, and haven't the guts to try to do better themselves next time.

Exactly! Maybe next year I'll collect the money, send them all to McDonalds and use the excess to disappear to Acapulco.

I used to organize our company's dinner dance every year, approx 250 people. Because it was free, people used to say they would go and then just not turn up - no prior notification so you could cancel the numbers, no they were just ignorant sods who couldn't care less. I think eventually the company tried to get the cost out of them if they didn't have a good excuse! Can't remember whether it worked or not.

I think people don't realise how much effort you have to put in to make a good event.

Sorry you seem to have had a really stressful time.

I'll survive, I'm starting to feel better now that it seems I'm not the only one who's received abuse for doing people a favour.
