She doesn't have much to do with her family (from a distant part of the UK, broken family, constant rows, some physical abuse) so, because I'm a SAHM, I've helped her out with childcare, and also donated to her a huge amount of clothes, toys and even furniture for her two kids (both younger than mine). Don't mind, glad stuff is going to a good home. For context, she works and so does her husband, both earning reasonably and not struggling any more than most.
Yesterday she announced on Facebook that she was upgrading her phone and did anyone want her old one. I said I might like to buy it for my daughter as her (third hand) phone is on its last legs. I checked what these phones were going for and offered her a fair amount. There was a silence for a while and then she came back to me and said someone (a stranger, not another friend) had offered her £10 more and did I want to up my offer?
I'm now vaguely miffed. All the things I've done for her, given her, bought her... and she's going to cut me out of the deal for a tenner? Really?
AIBU to wonder if £10 is really more important than cutting a (generous) friend a bit of slack?
I could say something but can't be arsed to have a row about it, I don't need the phone that badly.
It's not like she owes me anything but... don't know, it leaves a nasty taste
