Boob Jobs and Christmas Village.

Hola, long time lurker here, mainly on the pregnancy boards (am currently 35 weeks with DC3 and not in the UK)

Anyway I need opinions, i'm not sure if my hormones are distorting my views but I am so pissed off with a friend that i'm ready to just cut her off completly.

As I said I am not in the UK, I am in Toronto for my husbands job and have been for the past 4 years, my friend is also an ex pat having been here for 14 years, we only met earlier this year and got along great, we have similar aged children and are from the same place in the UK. It all started when she told me that her and another friend had been to the hospital to see a specialist about her heart murmur (first I had heard) and that she had to go back in two weeks, I offered to help in any way I could, picking the kids up from school or whatever......so never heard anything else about said heart murmur, cut to September and she is ill with the flu, husband is off work looking after her so my help isn't needed, fair enough. So last Saturday night we had them over for some fireworks and my crap attempt at treacle toffee........we settle down for a chat after, the kids are off playing and I was saying how sad it is that i'm mega excited about my new front loading washer/dryer being delivered next week........she said ohhhh I would love that too but I have spent all my money..........remmeber when I said I was ill, I wasn't I had a boob job, OK, fine but was there any need to lie to me, sure she didn't have to tell me but to lie, arggggggg.

Another thing that came out right after the boob job shocker was that we had all arranged to go to this Chritmas village thing, I am relativly new here and had never heard of it, anyway it's not been mentioned for a few weeks, turns out she has booked to go with another friend and she told me this like we had never talked about it, now the event is booked up and I have to tell my boys we can't go, but I will make my own fucking Christmas village if I have to.

FYI, she also got her new tits out for me and my husband, i'm no prude but I just wanted to slap her. AIBU for being really pissed off........also she hasn't called and we usually speak every few days.

She sounds like a mega cunt.

Bin her off.

traceybath · 10/11/2010 14:40

Really?

Really you are mega-excited about a new washer/drier?

cupcakesandbunting · 10/11/2010 14:41

TBF Tracey, Op did say she thought she was sad for being excited about new washer...

Merrylegs · 10/11/2010 14:44

I feel like I am in an Alan Bennett play.

And for most random thread title of the season, I salute you!

traceybath · 10/11/2010 14:44

True cupcakes true.

I missed that bit as was too diverted by the boobs out bit.

So yanbu to be annoyed but I can see why she wouldn't want to tell the whole world about a boob job. Oh hang on but am guessing she's not the discreet type if she got them out for you to see.

Oh too confused - but yes do what cupcakes said Smile

traceybath · 10/11/2010 14:45

It is a fantastic thread title.

cupcakesandbunting · 10/11/2010 14:45

Were the new tits any good, OP?

pjmama · 10/11/2010 14:45

Her boobs, her business and she probably forgot she'd talked about doing the xmas thing with you. Is she usually flaky and forgetful? I'd be cheesed off about her cocking up the arrangements but I just think the boob thing is hilarious - she actually got them out to show you?! Grin

traceybath · 10/11/2010 14:45

I too was wondering that cupcakes but thought it would seem wrong to ask in light of me mis-reading thread.

MrsBananaGrabber · 10/11/2010 14:46

I know very sad, but washer/dryers are top loaders over here and nothing gets really clean, they are just introducing front loaders now, I wanted them for when the baby arrives.........I know that is as boring as hell and I can't wait to have a massive glass of wine whilst staring at my new appliances ;)

highhopes2010 · 10/11/2010 14:47

I would defo get rid.she doesnt sound at all like she'd be a good friend.she might be good to have a laugh with but doesnt automatically mean shes going to be a good friend.after all like you said why lie over a boob job??im no prude either but if my so called friend got her baps out in front of my husband i would have a BIG problem with that and strangle her with them!

traceybath · 10/11/2010 14:48

Did she actually take her bra off? Sorry to go on about that bit but my face really would have been Shock

MrsBananaGrabber · 10/11/2010 14:50

The tits were quite.......pert, which is the point I suppose. Her and her DH were sat telling us all about it with big shit eating grins on their faces.......ohhhhh, it cost $8,000, good for you, but was the whole heart murmur thing necessary.

OP posts:
cupcakesandbunting · 10/11/2010 14:51

I would have probably copped aa feel. I'd love to see what pretend norks feel like. :(

muggglewump · 10/11/2010 14:54

This is possibly my favourite MN thread title ever.Grin

Erm, you are all being bonkers if that helps though I lived in Australia for two years with shitty top loading washing machines so I get your excitement at the front loader.

BeaSpellsaLot · 10/11/2010 14:56

He he he @ Tracey and cupcakes fixated on the tits.

I am Shock at pretending to have a heart murmur so she could slink off and get a boob job.

Get rid. Fast.

piprabbit · 10/11/2010 14:58

I think it's horrible to tell a friend that you are undergoing some sort of treatment for a potentially life-threatening medical problem, to leave your friend worrying and concerned that you are seriously ill...and then say "Ta-Da" not really, here are my new boobs.

I could understand wanting to keep the operations private/low-key and finding an excuse for not being around for a few days - but surely she could have thought of something other than a heart murmur?

SecretNutellaFix · 10/11/2010 15:01

She sounds shallow and flaky. Would probably count her as more of a close acquantance than a friend. Not reliable.

MrsBananaGrabber · 10/11/2010 15:01

She also told us that they had a talk with the Dc, she has two DD and one DS, she gave them some cock and bull story about mummy's boobs never being the same after she breast fed them and how the doctor is going to pump them back up.....I was just thinking wrong wrong wrong.

OP posts:
cupcakesandbunting · 10/11/2010 15:01

A lobotomy? It sounds like she needs one.

pottonista · 10/11/2010 15:03

I'm afraid I have nothing to offer your AIBU question. But that is totally the best thread title. ever. Grin

piprabbit · 10/11/2010 15:03

So glad that she was able to ensure that her DCs knew that it was their fault.

pommedeterre · 10/11/2010 15:20

I too love this title. A - mazing.
She sounds rubbish. Will never understand why people have boob jobs ever. I do however think that far too many people do the whole mention something/set up plans then forget thing. Drives me up the wall.

ChippingIn · 10/11/2010 15:49

Brilliant Thread title!

I think it was awful of her to tell you she was seeing someone about a heart murmur - she needn't have said anything at all! To worry someone when you aren't ill is vile.

'Forgetting' about the Christmas Village ...Hmm

Getting her boobs out to flaunt show you and DH Hmm

Her & her Dh sitting there raving about them as their latest sex toy... [tacky]

What they said to the kids... [barf]

I can't see why you even need anyone elses opinion - bin her.

Quenelle · 10/11/2010 15:57

Bin her. She's unreliable and thoughtless.

But see if you can cop a feel first.
