Who specifically tells you that they can only do til half ten latest, and said baby sitter has a 14 week old baby at home with her partner, who is also looking after their 12 year old and his mate sleeping over, then you should bloody well rock up home at half past bloody ten and not still be out with no sign of return or phone call at five to bastard eleven?

And breathe.

I would be livid. They are very rude and thoughtless.

WelshMaenad · 19/10/2012 23:35

Also can you please just confirm you're home safe, when you get there?

CoraBear · 19/10/2012 23:36

Good thinking WelshMaenad.

You sound lovely and they don't sound worthy of your friendship tbh

Felicitywascold · 19/10/2012 23:38

Hope the bastards are back. I am Shock at them even ASKING someone to babysit for them (for free! Ffs) who has a young baby at home...

AlmostAHipster · 19/10/2012 23:39

The selfish mofos! That would be the end of the friendship for me - talk about bastard disrespectful!

Cathycomehome · 19/10/2012 23:42

I'm here. Their other friend who was at the dinner gave me a lift home. Babysitting lady gave me £20 which I said I didn't need but took it inThe end, but it wasn't about being paid.

Glad you're home safe OP. I think you should have other plans the next time they ask you to babysit.

AlmostAHipster · 19/10/2012 23:45

Guilt money! Treat yourself to something nice. Glad you got home ok.

I'd have told her to keep it and buy herself a fucking watch, but I'm a snappy little mare...

ChristmasKate · 19/10/2012 23:47

Glad you are home, please don't let them take the piss out of you for a third time.

Good friends are hard to come by....

YouSmegHead · 19/10/2012 23:49

But they feel it's all ok now cause they paid you.

Cathycomehome · 19/10/2012 23:50

That's what I thought smeghead, but I just wanted to get out of there and took it.

Cathycomehome · 19/10/2012 23:51

AndFanjoWasHisNameO · 19/10/2012 23:52

Cheeky cow! I think you need to have a calm word in the morning about her timings. Glad you took the money too Grin

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 19/10/2012 23:52

Cathycomehome · 19/10/2012 23:53

Yeah but at least you've let someone else know what a shit trick they've pulled. Hopefully she'll say something to Latey McLateison Wink
