She can hope you reconsider until Hell freezes over.

Well, at least it can rest now, there's nothing there that warrants a reply.

Damn, will miss this thread

TheDoctrineOfAllan · 06/08/2013 17:47

No apology?!?

Talkinpeace · 06/08/2013 17:47

as she's stuck
ROTFLMAOPMPL - serves her right.
You could of course sent her a professionally quoted price for doing the work Grin

StrawberryMojito · 06/08/2013 17:50

That's a very loyal and sisterly way of saying that she agrees with you but hopes that you will concede as her moaning sister is doing her head in.

Ezio · 06/08/2013 17:51

even dont reply or tell her its too short notice for you.

georgedawes · 06/08/2013 17:51

I thought they'd still try and get you to do it. Definitely ignore, but I bet that they will be in contact again as the wedding gets nearer.

Nadalsballs · 06/08/2013 17:51

She's stuck!??! And that's the reason to reconsider?! Did she not read that email back to herself. It's good that you're shot of them if you ask me.

FryOneFatManic · 06/08/2013 17:52

Reconsider? Why? When Gluezilla has been so rude!

On reflection, I thnk the sis is trying very hard not to give you any hint that she is finding her sister to be a bridezilla. She's making it clear that her sis is stuck and that she is upset, but can "understand if you can't".

Sisterly loyalty but really I would bet she's finding sister is going mental at present.

Beastofburden · 06/08/2013 17:53

Hi S,

F can't expect me to decorate a hall for a party she didn't invite me to. It's a shame she's upset but I am afraid I can't reconsider.

NadiaWadia · 06/08/2013 17:53

'No I won't be reconsidering as your sister's request is both inappropriate and rude under the circumstances. I thought I had explained this in my previous e-mail. I am sure she will be able to find suitable help elsewhere if she starts looking now'

Ezio · 06/08/2013 17:55

Infact, i just wouldnt reply its giving them more chances to give you the sob story in hope you fall for it.

Yes, Strawberry, that's sort of how I read it. I think she wanted to (but couldn't) tell me that she gets it!

Laughing at the idea that she is hoping you will reconsider! Given the length of time they have taken to reply to your email, I suggest she looks for other options pretty damn fast!
Possibly send an email, with a list of wedding venue decorators in the area complete with price lists being a helpful so and so Grin

wheredidiputit · 06/08/2013 17:58

I would leave it for now.

Yes she upset, but it's all her own doing, you have done nothing wrong.

But I would expect further e mails/texts from her, her sister and her mum. Ignore them all.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 06/08/2013 18:00

I do think that Gluesister understands where you are coming from.

I would politely refuse, something vague like

"I'm sorry but its not possible for me to do this now"

You don't want to get drawn into discussions about why you can't do it. Only you need to know if its not possible because you don't want to do it or not possible because of practical / logistical issues.

p.s.If you do decide to help shall I start looking for Sylvanian family toys on ebay Wink

Ezio · 06/08/2013 18:01

Send her a link that Power post in an email and thats it.

They might get the message then.

SauvignonBlanche · 06/08/2013 18:01

No way! Shock

"I don't know why she's upset-I told her asap so that there is plenty of time for other arrangements.

Perhaps she should be looking into this rather than keep bugging me when I have already told her it is not possible for me to be a mug decorate."

That's if you decide to reply, of course.

thistlelicker · 06/08/2013 18:06

Oh my days. If a reply was warranted if reply thanking her for her understanding shame her sister could not and you would like now to draw time in this, the wedding decoration and friendship with the self obsessed sister! And ask them formally now not to correspond wit you in anyway ad remind them that
Should you hear any gossip about
This after wedding you will correct these people with the correct information

diddl · 06/08/2013 18:06

Or-"why don't you do it, then?"

pigletmania · 06/08/2013 18:06

Gosh bridezilla has some nerve, after the way she has treated you, not even a phone call or apology and she still hopes you decorate her venue. Well that friendship is over, put it in te past and move on now, she is nota good friend
