What if it turns out that sister has had major input into organisation of Bridezilla's wedding, and it transpires that she was the one who came up with the 'save the date' cards AND for Tidy to decorate the hall? So now Bridezilla has told sister to get things sorted with Tidy?? don't really think this is the case, just coming up with a few conspiracy theories to while away the time until the next update

pigletmania · 02/08/2013 22:13

I think it would have been easier to tell bridezilla initially from the outset tat you could not decorate as you were busy that day

AaDB · 02/08/2013 22:17

OP was only asked to decorate two weeks ago. This was after it was confirmed there would be no wedding invitation.

AnneofGreenFables · 02/08/2013 22:29

I agree with spg1983 sisterzilla will agree that Gluey is mad as a box of frogs but still ask Tidy to please do it just this once etc

Stand firm, no decorating will take place

FryOneFatManic · 02/08/2013 22:46

Now, now, I reckon Gluezilla's sister is obviously on MN and deliberately making you all wait for your update. Grin

nilbyname · 02/08/2013 22:58

I am on holiday now, and this thread is still demanding my attention! Go tidy tidy!

HoikyPoiky · 02/08/2013 23:24

What's with all the parties in this saga taking so long to reply to one another's texts and emails. Confused. I know Tidy deliberately kept GlueZilla waiting but in my world people usually respond very quickly?

Its weird.

pigletmania · 02/08/2013 23:26

Not everyone hoiky

waltermittymissus · 02/08/2013 23:27

Great reply Tidy but I'll bet you'll just get another long winded explanation of why you weren't invited.

Gluezilla has missed the point spectacularly, we've no reason to suspect sister has any more sense we can hope not! Wink

bringthethunda · 02/08/2013 23:50

Tidy for president!

TidyDancer · 03/08/2013 00:57

OMG I actually love you all. Grin I can't believe you're all still with me through all of this, but I am very appreciative. It's could easily have upset me but you've all made me laugh so much I haven't even been particularly sad about it beyond the initial reaction!

Tbh I quite often take a long time to reply to emails. Texts I reply to straight away, but emails take me longer. I didn't think it that unusual that gluezilla and her sister are similar but maybe I'm wrong?

And FYI, I accept nomination for president and will be campaigning for regular zombie flashmobs and sylvanians themed picnics on the White House lawn. Grin

Glad all of our silliness has helped distract you from what could have been a very hurtful time. Smile

HilariousLotus · 03/08/2013 07:55

I have to say you have had some cracking threads in the past like the takeaway one but these wedding ones make me laugh If the sister replies and thinks you should still help I vote we send man with straight jackets and a padded van round :)

mindyourownbusiness · 03/08/2013 08:25

Definitely Whathavelforgotten and if he objects just LTB.

DidoTheDodo · 03/08/2013 08:49

May I just say I am proud to be a part of these threads and will be putting it prominently on my CV.

Come on Sisterzilla, Gluemum, Stickyaunty or any other family members who wish to get involved....

HoikyPoiky · 03/08/2013 09:44

I guess I am forgetting. Blush If you have little DCs and/or you work then you can almost literally not get a moment to yourself so I shouldn't be suprised that people don't answer texts and emails quickly. I always have my smart phone with me so tend to keep on top of things but I know not everyone can do this.

FruOla · 03/08/2013 10:04

I like your conspiracy theory EachAndEveryHighway Grin

TidyDancer · 03/08/2013 10:04

I can only speak for myself, but generally if something is not really urgent and necessitating a reply straight away, I won't give it immediate attention. I have an iPhone and iPad, but I won't drop everything to reply to an email when I have other stuff I'm already doing. :)

Not sure about bridezilla and sister though!

Tidy, thank you for your predicament. Wink

It was a lifesaver to log on last night to see your third installment, it was 2 am my time, and dh was still not home from mountain biking in the mountains. It took my mind of it. In fact your thread has possibly prevented me from mobilizing the police, red cross and a helicopter or two, needlessly. In fact, your thread has saved Norway gazillions in unnecessary rescue costs. Thank you.

MintyChops · 03/08/2013 10:23

No!!!!! Just found this yesterday and have spent all evening, late into the night and this morning catching up. Tidy you are a model of restraint, HOW did you resist sending "Dear Bitch, are you on glue?".

I'm betting as well that the sister will come back all reasonable and oh yes Tidy I understand but the pressure The PRESSURE of being sent to Betty Ford of the wedding has unhinged Gluey, please help just this once, etc etc.

toldmywrath · 03/08/2013 11:04

Quint It seems that not only is Tidy keeping us all enthralled but now she is performing potential sterling economic work for the Norwegian govt.
Smile

QuintessentiallyOhDear · 03/08/2013 11:16

She is a true secret hero, undercover international economic restraint officer. Grin

comingintomyown · 03/08/2013 11:32

I have to say I almost found myself asking Is Tidy being a bit mean here such is the power of Bridezilladomn Grin

Well lets see what the sister has to say about it all , she may be suffering at the hands of F as well

laeiou · 03/08/2013 13:14

tidy-
I hope that sister replies saying she didn't know what had happened, blah blah assumed you pulled out of attending and sister was upset about a good friend not attending, apologises on behalf of gluey and leaves it at that. However, I think sister probably knows that you aren't invited and that the upset is related to you "being essential" to gluey having the princess-for-a-day wedding she has always dreamed of.

If sister asks you to reconsider decorating will you stand firm? I think your explanation to sister was fab and should be quite enough, but I suspect it won't end here.

Beastofburden · 03/08/2013 13:52

You do realise that one day gluezilla will get married and it will all be over. We need a contingency plan,,,,
