Horrible horrible present mix up involving sex toys. I have to go back in an hour.

I just met my best friend for a coffee, to give her her 30th Birthday present before she goes off for a childfree sexfest week in Mauritius with her DH as a 30th Birthday present Envy. I got her a pair of very naughty Agent Provocateur, knickers, karma sutra guide, hand cuffs, a feather boa, and this chocolatey lube stuff .I hasten to add this was intended as a joke, I actually got her a day at a spa. She unwrapped a boys top from Zara Kids, a small puzzle and a power ranger action doll thingy.

This means the 4 year old boy whose party my DT'S are at has unwrapped her present. Shock Shock Shock Shock Shock. I know for a fact it has been opened as there had been a small mix up with times, and they had to wait 10 minutes to be allowed into the soft play, and so when I was leaving the birthday boy's mum was calling them over to open presents to pass the time.

WHY did I use identical wrapping paper? But more importantly what do I do when I go to fetch them in an hour? Even worse, the whole of their nursery room was invited, plus a few other friends, the majority of which are there. Doubly doubly worse, I was the only mum/nanny to leave, so they will all know.

HELP

MmeLindt AuntyFash actually posted
"what other thread? whistles innocently"

So I think we can safely assume the other thread is a joke.

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:12

Curious
I read the other one first, so thought it was genuine.

AuntyFash has been posting for a while so either she is someone else posting that thread for a laugh and did not NC. Or she is genuinely the other poster.

I hate to do this but I am just marking my place for the fall out Grin

Curiousmama · 04/01/2011 15:11

MmeL you didn't seriously think the other thread was true? Hmm Am on the fence with this one but the other was an obvious piss take.

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:10

Auntyfash is not someone NCing as a joke. She has posted before.

droves · 04/01/2011 15:09

What time does the party end ? .

I can almost feel the ops rising panic.

Auntyfash...LOL...very good timing there!

bambiandthumper · 04/01/2011 15:08

Friend is back with the flowers and wrapping paper. She also got me a card to give to the mother.

What on earth do I put in it?

OP posts:
MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:08

ah, ok. So other thread is a joke, but this is sadly but hysterically genuine.

Sorry, Bambi.

BusyMissIzzy · 04/01/2011 15:08

Oh dear OP, I was hoping for your sake you had started both threads as a joke.

missmehalia · 04/01/2011 15:08

Christ on a bike. Can't stop laughing, but at the same time, I feel your pain.

Would phone a mutual friend if I were you to get her number, and text rather than call. Don't worry, presents usually get opened after the kids have all gone home. Any kids there probably wouldn't have understood the significance of hardly any of it!! (hopefully!)

This thread has "Classic" written alllll over it!

bambiandthumper · 04/01/2011 15:05

Sorry crumpetsolo I think that was started by exexpat as a joke!!

This (I wish it wasn't) is real Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush

At least if she is a mnetter (highly doubt she is) then she will know I wasn't trying to corrupt her pfb!!!!

Er... Don't you think the other thread was started y someone response to this as a joke??? i don't think it is either th Op or the mother

BusyMissIzzy · 04/01/2011 15:05

If this is real and a genuine coincidence than I am Blush on your behalf but mostly Grin.

If it's all made up, then personally I think it's quite clever :)

KalokiMallow · 04/01/2011 15:05

MmeLindt The other thread was made up after this one, by someone who read this thread.

Crumpetsolo The OP has already said she only dropped her DT's off at the party. She didn't stay at the party.

squashedfrogs · 04/01/2011 15:05

This has made my day after having a seriously crap morning Grin

cumbria81 · 04/01/2011 15:04

What happened?!?!

ShatnersBassoon · 04/01/2011 15:04

Everything was really working against you. Same wrapping paper on adults and child's present, phone dropped in bath, mix-up with soft play times providing opportunity for guaranteed present opening, uptight mother...

What an unfortunate series of events.

TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 04/01/2011 15:03

are they really genuinely both mumsnetters that has to be THE funniest thing ever

crumpetsolo · 04/01/2011 15:03

Completely made up - look a matching thread... What a surprise. Why didn't the little boy open his presents at the party? Because that would have ruined the story. Yawn.

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:03

Bambi
She has just posted on MN here

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:02

HAahahahahah

LOL at you both being MNetters.

BusyMissIzzy · 04/01/2011 15:02

Really? Did using different types of wrapping paper not occur to you? (I bet it will from now on Grin). And were the presents identically shaped?
