Luckily this isn't a major major setback and you can arrange to meet up another time. Cheer up huni - you can always sort out another date!
About your friend who might have the family problems - just let her know that you will always be there for her if she needs to talk about anything and you will be there to support her. Let her know that you are a good friend to her.
Don't be angry at them - fogive and forget...hard as it may be. Don't worry there will be another time! x x x

Hi,
Your anger is understandable but at least your friends were truthful with you, they did contact you the previous evening to let you know and as you said in your message there reasons were valid. so you cannot be angry for them being truthful with you
Your friend who is having family trouble will be alright especially as she has an understanble friend in you....you can approach your friend by asking her if she is alright and if she ever needs a friend to talk to or a should to cry on you will always be there for her. at least this way your friend will know that when and if she needs to speak you are there for her.
Hope all goes well with you and your friends
Take care
joanne
