So me and two close friends all celebrated milestone birthdays this year.
For my friends' birthdays I made them a little photo collage as well as buying them gifts if around £30-40 which is more than I'd usually spend but they are close friends and it is a special birthday.
My birthday was last. They have me cards and said instead of buying me a gift they thought it would be nice to go for a spa day all together. Although spa days aren't really my thing I agreed and they told me the name of the place they'd looked at. I looked at it after and it indeed looked nice and packages started at £50.
Anyway fast forward six weeks and I've seen them a few times since my birthday but nothing has been arranged. I then got a text from friend tonight giving me dates she was available and asking me to check with other friend and then book if for the three of us. She ended by saying she and other friend would then pay me back for their packages.
So basically I'm being asked to arrange my own birthday present and pay for it too. I appreciate they are having to pay for their own spa treatments but they will benefit from them. They both work and I'm a sahm. To be honest I can't really afford £50 this month on something I'm not that fussed about doing.
Would it have killed them to chip in £25 each and organise this for me? It's actually the thoughtlessness more than the money that upsets me.
AIBU to be a bit snippy in my response? Have not replied yet!
