Thank you Igbruce very much
But how about in other situations where we don't use "notice?:
A: Hello, Could you lend me $ 1000 ?
B: Sorry, I didn't know you would be borrowing my money today, so I did not go to the bank to take my money.You should have told me at least two days in advance/two days early/two days
