Tight Wad friend and Street Party dilemma - quick advice please, have to go soon!!

[VonHerrBurton]

Local-ish street party starting in about half an hour. All lovely stuff planned for dc all around same age (8 9 10 11) Next door neighbour and I with our dc who are good friends, planned a couple of weeks ago to attend, my dh is at work all day as is her dp. Or so I thought. She rocked up about 20 mins ago, said she fancied some kid free time with dp who is off, dumped her 2 (excited beyond belief) dc with me and legged it.

We have to take our own food, drink, seats etc, I was just planning on nipping to Tesco then going straight there with my one dc (street party not actually on our street, a mile or so away) So now they've disappeared and I am ROYALLY pissed off. I'm guess I'm going on my fucking own with 3 kids and now I'm expected to feed and water them. I asked her about food when we spoke about it a couple weeks ago and she seemed a bit miffed that we 'had' to take stuff, she's the type who'd bring a bottle of cheapo wine and drink all the Chablis at parties.

I have to take them and cater for them, don't I? WWYD?

Desperate for an update!

she can't update, she's hidden the DC and turned her phone off

Fucking hell! I just read this whole thread and there's no bloody update!

Come back OP - I need to know how it all panned out

Please update us. I hope you have a mumsnet balls of steel moment.

Surely she's come back by now?

She may be still at the party

Oh that's awful!! I hope they were caught shagging in a lay-by!

oh god, please let the OP have not updated because she's busy doing other interesting things, not because she's still looking after cheeky mare's DCs...

It's dark outside surely pisstaking friend (ptf) has come back to collect df by now and op and ptf are having a full and frank heart to heart. Either that or op is gibbering wreck having spent 9 plus hrs with hers and ptfs dc.

OP is burying the 'friend' in the garden, having gone loopy upon her return with some bunting, a party hat and a stale pork pie.

Wondering the PTF ^ expected the OP to carry chairs, food, drink, and other essentials a mile on her own?

Really shocked that she just fucked off on a nice day out without even mentioning she was leaving! That's a proper deliberate piss take, no misunderstanding there at all!

I reckon OP has kidnapped the kids and will return them with;
a) facial tattoos
b) dreadlocks
and
c) an addiction to fruit shoots and Gregg's sausage rolls

Wondering how...

Update!

poke

Yes another one who wants an update please

crashdoll, mine already have an addiction to fruit shoots and Gregg's sausage rolls when can I expect facial tattoos and dreadlocks to appear?

OP, hope you've had a lovely afternoon and are happily relaxing with a glass of wine and not bothering yourself with any of this horridness right now

Flisspaps :o

Just seen this thread. Marking my place for an update!

Here's hoping she sent the kids back pumped full of chocolate and caffeine. :)

And maybe a few piercings.

What happened???

Marking my spot :) Need update!

update please:)
