Little bit rude,I might have said "oh I didn't get that message", but not fair of them to insist you keep it free then not tell you when they change their minds. Hopefully they get over it.

Definitely rude of her. You had every right to gently remind her that some common courtesy wouldn't have gone amiss if her plans had changed. It's a no-brainer that people have really busy lives and weekends. Stick to your guns on this one. I'd be majorly pi**ed if someone stole one of my precious weekend days like that.

Definitely not cool. I would be annoyed in your situation as well.

They are totally in the wrong on this one - can't believe they didn't even bother to tell people they'd changed plans. So, so rude.

She may have just forgotten to let you know about the change of date, and while it is not rude to send a "we wern't told" sms, if you used similar wording to what is in the OP, then the wording was rude. A simple "thanks for letting us know, and please let us know when you have more details" would have been suffiecient.

Yes she was rude, but you were probably a bit too. I had a friend for ages say "keep my 40th birthday weekend free, I am planning a big weekend away". So I did. Never heard anything from her. Checked with several mutual friends - no, no-one got invited away and as far as we know she didn't do anything.
