To be cross about this shopping trip?

A friend asked if I wanted to go into town today for a look around the shops and lunch. We agreed to meet at 10, and when she turned up she'd brought a friend with her. I'm not overkeen on this friend, as she is quite self absorbed and everything has to revolve around her, and also I wasn't happy because my friend didn't mention that this other friend was coming along!

Anyway, everything revolved around this other woman; when we went into shops she'd take about 20 items into each changing room, and took ages trying them all on, asking us if she looked fat (she didn't - she's a size 6-8 with a fantastic figure), kept trying on different combinations of outfits, and sending my friend and I back out to the shop floor to get different sizes and colours in various things.

The whole morning revolved around the shops that she wanted to look in. She doesn't like Next or New Look so we couldn't go in those. Then at lunchtime we had planned to go to Pizza Express but because she doesn't like it there we ended up elsewhere. Then after lunch it was back to shops where she'd tried on a million items because she wanted to buy things she hadn't bought at the time.

My friend and I got no time to chat, and I didn't really get to go in any shops that I wanted to go in because it all had to revolve around her friend.

AIBU to be pissed off and feel like my day has been wasted?

Yes, I was really disappointed at not being able to catch up properly with my friend, consideringadoption84. We don't really get to see each other that much. We didn't really get any opportunity to chat because as soon as we did, her friend would start butting in, asking us if we thought something would suit her, or would she look fat in it.
