Friend?

I have a friend I have known 2 years since our daughters became friends at school.
She is very OTT. Texting me all the time about ridiculous things. She tells me her daughter's test results, she makes up elaborate stories of what she is making her dd for tea, she makes up things of activities she has planned for her dd on a weekend and it's all lies as they never leave the house.If you ask her if she enjoyed said activity she will act very vague. She also doesn't like to hear about my DD and if I reply to her about what I'm doing at the weekend when she tells me her plans or I share something about my dd she shuts down. Why? I'm starting to really not like her. It seems I'm just there to receive these texts and why does she lie? I'm thinking of totally cutting her off but am confused.

Dump her. If she asks why you're staying away, tell her. She sounds very self centred.

She does sound self centred I agree but could she also maybe be a bit jealous of your life? The fact she has to tell you every thing she does and make it elaborate may mean that she is ashamed that they don't go out and do things? Does she have many other friends? Maybe she's just showing off to impress you?
If I'm wrong there then absolutely she is all about herself. And if it's getting to the point where you don't think you can be her friend the friendship probably won't last anyway.
I guess it's either accept that's how she is or cut her off.

Thanks for your replies.
She had one friend. who seemed happy to unload said friend off onto me.They don't talk now but the friend who got away always smiles and says hello to me. She probably knows what I put up with and feels sorry for meGrin.
I think she is trying to impress so maybe she is jealous ( of my average no-frill life) I'll reply 'ok' from now like she does and be vague if she asks me a what I'm doing etc. It's obviously not a real friendship.

Had one like this. Stopped talking to her because all I got was pathetic and whinging messages.
She made out my new neighbors were awful and they are in fact a hell of a lot nicer than she assumed. You don't need people like that.
