To think this is a snub?

Last year it was an old friend's 40 th. She has always been quite self obsessed and a bit difficult as a friend but we go back a lon way, bridesmaids godparents etc. So we took the children out of school for a day ( unheard of for us) and trekked up to Edinburgh where her husband is chaplain at a public school. I was surprised that she didn't offer us to come round for a cup of tea, see her house etc but hey ho. So we just went to the party in the evening which was quite dull - and she did not come over to speak to us at all. - until we were leaving when she tried to get us to stay for some reason. So recently it was my 40 th and I had a party. She said it was too difficult to come down off it ( although we made a huge effort to get to hers). I am pissed off - should I take all this as a snub?

I certainly wasn't being snippy! Your headteacher sounds nice :) You will find different heads in different areas all respond differently to asking for time off.

It was only really manageable if we took the day off school but in retrospect you are right - it was a bit much. I really shouldn't have bothered I guess
