F*ck them Liz!

Time to focus on the positive here lady. Your real friends stayed and you had a great time with them. I don't know James and Lynne so am probably not qualified to comment but you said yourself that they're not the most thoughtful of people so did you really expect any more of them?

Don't invite them next time you have a bash - simple as that - they came, they took, they buggered off - they're not proper friends IMHO.

However, on the lighter side, please don't feel down. Did you enjoy yourself with your friends that participated in the whole spirit of the evening and stayed over? If so, then concentrate on that - I know how easy it is not to concentrate on the positives but you must.

That coupled with the fact that you're about to have the most bloody spectacular day of your life marrying the man of your dreams has got to be cause for a smug grin (or six).

Sod em all Liz - you and Stephen are going to have a marvellous wedding - unfortunately it's times like this when you really need your true friends that you realise those who are not true friends. Concentrate on the important people and you'll be fine honey!
