Re: FFS!
My parents are exactly the same. Absolutely no sense of urgency whatsoever.
When I lived in Leicester, my parents were coming to visit from Dorset (a 3hr+ drive), and had told us to expect them around midday.
One O'clock came and went, so I called them to discover they were still buying food for the journey, and hadn't even left yet! Grrrrrr....

Re: FFS!
Let's hope they don't miss their flight back to the UK. Or will you get them there the day before

Re: FFS!
Perhaps the week before. They're in their room, brooding...
I'm cancelling today with a bottle of shiraz.
On the plus side, I just got propositioned by a 'child' in Coles. He was on the checkout and obviously still at school. Highlight of my day.

Re: FFS!
ah Tiddlypom.....have a drink hun....still not sure how this is all supposed to be your fault, but hey that's parents for you!
Mine would never be late anywhere...more likely a week early! LOL! Which again can be to the other extreme.....OH is very much like your parents though and I have taken to telling him, that we have to be somewhere 15 mins before we do, cos it drives me crackers!! In some ways to watch him is quite funny cos he works in slow motion, then suddenly does this Benny Hill fast forward sketch bit, like someone just pressed the button!
Anyway have a drink hun and sending you (((HUGS)))

Re: FFS!
I knew it wouldn't run smoothly.
My parents were meant to be on a flight to NZ leaving at 10.45am so I told them they had to be there at least an hour ahead of check in.
The airport train was delayed and guess what...
They wouldn't let them on the flight. They've given them a ticket to go to their office in Sydney and get two new tickets for Friday...
It's the first cock up so far, but a big enough one... ARGHHHHHHHH!
So I'm getting the blame... obviously, because when I said they had to be there AT LEAST an hour before, they thought I meant an hour before the plane left the ground.
Never mind, eh?
