To be fuming with friend

[whatkatemiddletondidatuni]

She was having a hard time and wanted to stay with her parents 300 miles away, but was apparently broke. Another friend and I gave her £25 each so £50 in total.

Then she bought some expensive makeup and a nutribullet.

AIBU to think this was pretty

[CaptainCrunch]

What's a nutribullet?

[melonribena]

Did she go to her parents?

[claraschu]

You can't buy a nutribullet for £50. They cost more than that- closer to £100.

[Groovee]

How did she get a nutribullet that cheap?

I'd ask for my money back!

[GabiSolis]

What's the timescale on this? If this all happened simultaneously then of course YANBU. Did she actually go to her parents? You won't get much expensive make up for £50 and definitely not a nutribullet, so this might not all be connected.

Making expensive purchases post-borrowing money from friends is an absolute no-no however (if you've made no effort to pay the money back).

[gamerchick]

You lent her money, maybe you weren't the only ones who gave her money?

[QuiteLikely5]

Maybe once she got to her parents they have her some cash?

[whatkatemiddletondidatuni]

She went to her parents but then got paid. I think she should have given the money back first.

[BillSykesDog]

Did you tell her it was a loan? You say you 'have' it to her, sounds like she might have thought it was a gift.

[Birdsgottafly]

Is she paying you back?

If she's been paid and has still got your money over, then it's upto her what she spends money on.

Or she might have got money from her Parents for Easter.

Nutribullets are £50 on Easter Deals.

[yorkshapudding]

Did you make it clear that you expected the money to be repaid?

[molyholy]

You lent her money to go to her parents. She went to her parents.

Unless you stipulated that you wanted your £25 back on her next payday, I think yabu

[AnchorDownDeepBreath]

Yeah I'm in agreement with everyone else. She wanted to go to her parents but couldn't afford too - because she hadn't been paid or because she just generally couldn't afford too?

If she thinks you gifted her £25 each to go to her parents then she won't think she's being unreasonable to spend her own money - it was a gift. If you loaned it to her, instead of gave it to her, you have more of a case.

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

You gave her the money...Did you say you expected it back? If not, YABU. She can spend money she receives afterwards on what she likes.

[iyamehooru]

If it was a loan just ask for it back. If it wasn't then don't judge her

[RudeElf]

When did this all happen?

[ILostItInTheEarlyNineties]

My dad used to tell me, Never loan money to friends unless you don't want it back.

[RudeElf]

Because pay day was probably yesterday so its not as if she has left it ages to pay you back.

[expatinscotland]

Did you tell her it was a loan.

[Blatherskite]

Where are Nutribullets on £50 deals?

[LifeofI]

just brought a nurtibullet they are £79 what brand was the make up

[LifeofI]

actually got the black one which is 79 the other colours like silver, gun metal grey and red are 69 in currys just saying

[minionsrule]

How do you know she bought this stuff, did she tell you? Seems quite random actually {confused}

[WellErrr]

Hmm, well surprised to see I'm in the minority but I think this is out of order.

You don't cry poor so that friends give you money, then go on a spending spree. That's just not cricket.
