At work today with a colleague who is supposedly also a close friend. (DH's are friends/I'm her DD's godmother etc.)
I've had a croaky throat today so decided to buy a bottle of ice cold water. It cost 52p.
As I paid my colleague at the till she says "what a waste of money. No wonder you're always so skint, there's free water in the tap"
Now a bit of back story. Me and DH were invited out with colleague and her DH last night for a curry. We had to decline as it was less than a weeks notice and we are saving money for our holiday next week. She also asked me along with a friend of hers to town tonight, again with really short notice so again I said no telling her about our holiday. I have said how much I'd have loved to come but that any spare cash is being put towards our holiday spends.
I assume this is why I got the snotty comment about buying a 52p bottle of water. So was IBU to spend 52p of my money on the water or should I have saved it ready for our next night out? Or should I start distancing myself from my 'friend'?
