Name changed as this could out me.
Yesterday was my 30th. I was taken out to the shard and then to fortnum and mason for posh ice cream. Yay!
Then I got home and found I had won tickets to a kids theatre show that is absolutely perfect for dd. All in all, a really great enjoyable birthday!!
Anyway, I was talking to my friend this morning about yesterday. She phoned and we were chatting about what I'd done for the day etc.
I mentioned the shard and before I could say how much I'd enjoyed it or anything at all she interuppted with 'but I told you it was not worth the money as I went when it opened but you went anyway! Why would you do that?' I was a bit taken aback really but basically responded 'because I wanted to go and DH bought me tickets as a gift as he knows I wanted to go. Have I upset you by going?' She kind of fobbed it off but she clearly was put out by this. Conversation continued. When I mentioned Fortnum&Mason and ice creams she said 'oooo veerrrryyy posh' in a bit sarcastic tone, I just continued talking.
I then said about the tickets. She was silent. I said 'are you still there?' And she said 'I can't believe you. You ignored me about the shard and went anyway when I tried to save you that money. You then gloat about going to f&m and wasting even more money and now your rubbing it in my face that you won't tickets to the show I wanted to take DS to! What kind of friend are you??'
I hung up.
Her DS turned one a few weeks back. He is somewhere around 18months to 2 years to young for this show. She has never ever mentioned it to me before.
Yes - when the shard opened and she visited she said she wasn't impressed. I didn't realise this was instructions that I am not allowed to visit myself!!
She called me back 3 times afterwards and I didn't answer. I've had a text now saying 'bit rude to hang up on me And then ignore my calls!!'
Yes I suppose ignoring someone's calls is rude but AIBU given all the above???
