Having a dinner party, everyone contributing some food. One friend agrees to make a cake for pudding but turns up with a shop bought one from M & S and apologised saying she hadn't had time as she started a new job. AIBU to think she shouldn't have misled us about making the cake?

I'd expect my friends to be more understanding.

Nah, if you're busy, you're busy.

We've all had time slip away from us.

You had a cake and her company.

She brought a cake which she said she would bring. So what if she bought it?

She didn't mislead you. She ran out of time. Be grateful she at least stopped to buy one!

Given a choice between my baking and M&S's, my mates would be very pleased to see an M&S one.

My friends would be relieved if I took round a nice M&S cake rather than make one!

She didn't mislead you. She offered to make it, discovered she couldn't and bought a nice one. She didn't bring a quid sponge from Asda ffs.

YABU and daft.

I'd possibly be a bit narked if it was from Asda (grin) and i DO shop there!!

To be serious though is it really such big deal that it wasn't home made?

Sounds like the kind of thing i would do!

Oh come on everybody-it's a wind up. Surely no one is so ridiculous as to care where the bloody cake came from Hmm

You're so worried by this problem, you've named yourself after it? Grin

I like M&S cake, it's not like she brought an Iceland Arctic Roll

Think yourself lucky, some of us haven't got any cake, Asda, Markies or home made.
