AIBU..unsure!

[Loopy9]

Last year I went on holiday with 2 other families, we decided to do the same and so I booked the villa we had stayed in again. My friend then said her friend and family also wanted to come so I said I would cancel the Villa as we would no long fit in it and look for another villa, we agreed. Another friend then approached us and asked if her family could join us and we all agreed. I sent around some options of larger villas that could accommodate 5 families. Then the friend who we holidayed with last year announced she and her friend wouldn’t be coming with us anymore. So I went back to the original villa but sadly in the two weeks since I had cancelled it, it had been booked. My friends husband (the ones who dropped out) then told my husband that his wife had booked the villa from last year! I’ve seen her but she hasn’t mentioned anything to me. Her husband was horrified as to what she has done and my husband is miffed. I’m feeling really cross..AIBU? If I’m not BU then how would you approach her?

I think I'd have to say something I'm afraid.
Really crafty.

YANBU. I'd send her some shit in a box...seriously, there are websites who'll send some anonymously..

I think B & C thought the extras you said could come along were too many. I would too.

Watery B invited D

Ah, missed that. Need more coffee. It still seems a bit of a nightmare, though.

Sounds like my idea of hell. Just go on holiday by yourselves. It's difficult trying to please everyone and keep everyone happy it's often maybe difficult to say I don't want x to go without being seen as petty childish or difficult etc.
I am worrying about the cost OP usually to book a villa you need to pay an unrefundable deposit have you had to stump up the cost of this each time or was the deposit paid equally be all interested party's at the time?
She sounds a schemer and not a friend.

Wow, some people really have some cheek!

Of course this friend must know you're going to find out at some point and she really doesn't give a damn what you think. She must think you're a pushover if she thinks you'd silently put up with this.

I don't think she's much of a friend to be honest.

What a cow! Ex friend by now and I wouldn't be going with her again.

It seems B wants to holiday with D but perhaps doesn't want to holiday with E who invited themselves maybe? Rude to invite D without checking first anyway and even more rude to book original villa for herself and the add on. Very cheeky. She's not someone i would be wasting any more time on.
