Are you really rich Hully? I'm hungry, if you fancy sorting my dinner out.

ClutchingAtMyPearls · 23/12/2011 18:21

Is there a backstory here? More to this? How can anyone say anything based on your minimalist OP?

JingleBelleDameSansMerci · 23/12/2011 18:22

How very rude...

EuphemiaInExcelsis · 23/12/2011 18:22

Huh? Xmas Confused

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 23/12/2011 18:22

Stop drip feeding or I will come and replace your washer.

BellaVita · 23/12/2011 18:22

Of course you shouldn't.

Yes, Hulls, are you rich? Grin

ThePathanKhansWitch · 23/12/2011 18:25

Without knowing the back story Hully. I think thats an awful thing to do.

If everyones getting treated, thats it, everyone. I couldn't do this.

It would sort of be credit rating your friends/family.

Nah, defo not on.

BandOMothers · 23/12/2011 18:26

Even rich folk need paying for sometimes...YANBU...but spill!

Hullygully · 23/12/2011 18:31

Hullygully · 23/12/2011 18:36

No if you are paying for everyone else then it just isn't right to leave someone out.

I think Christmas and the baileys has gone to me head!

LoopyLoopsWoopDeWoops · 23/12/2011 18:39

Shit. I was getting excited about my dinner. Never mind. YANBU.

My foster mother came out for a meal for my 21st. Amongst doing other horrible things, she paid for everyone else's meal (her own daughters) but not mine. Nasty.

Hullygully · 23/12/2011 18:39

Even if they were so rich they could buy the restaurant several times over and not notice?

LoopyLoopsWoopDeWoops · 23/12/2011 18:39

And no, am not, was not and probably will never be rich (was a student at the time).

Pantofino · 23/12/2011 18:42

Nah. Our Best Man is super rich - he has a mansion on Lake Austin and has played poker with Bill Gates. We still take it in turns to pay!

ThePathanKhansWitch · 23/12/2011 18:42

Hully Even if its a Russian Oligarch, well espeesh, cos they'd probably get you shot or poisoned or something.

Jinsel · 23/12/2011 18:43

If they're that rich then you tell them that they are paying

Pantofino · 23/12/2011 18:43

When we got married, we went to posh restaurant in London - 4 of us plus dd. He offered to pay. We said no - he was there as our guest.

lionheart · 23/12/2011 18:44

They might not notice the money but they would surely note the assumptions.

YANBU. Xmas Smile

SantasStrapon · 23/12/2011 18:44

Tis wrong. And rude. And you give me the warm fuzzies too Hulls.

Liluri · 23/12/2011 18:45

Socialising shouldn't be based on the income of the people you hang out with.
Everyone should take turns in footing the bill.
Excluding people is childish and not very classy.

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 23/12/2011 18:45

Look at all the Hully-love. Has she sent you all Naked Candlewick photos?

Hullygully · 23/12/2011 18:46
