Seriously- someone left the gate open at Cheeky Fuckerland this week!

It's my birthday in 9 days. (Actually, it's my bday on Monday- but I'm celebrating in 9 days). I don't usually do anything, but it seems like an absolute age since we all got together, so I've organized a curry night at home. A few mates and their kids, music, etc.

I've got a whatsapp group (lazy, couldn't be arsed to send the same text 170 times😂), which the girl in question is a part of. It's been a bit of a riot on there (people suggesting silly themes, etc, all good fun). She hasn't said a word on it.

She pinged me privately and said "my five are excited about next Saturday- they love Aunty Radley's cooking", etc, etc. And then the clanger (I think)

"What time is (my DH) picking them up? It'll have to be before 3 because I've arranged to go out".

Um...HUH?

I said she must have got her wires crossed- she was invited WITH the DC, and I've askrd everyone to arrive at about 5.30-6! (This is why I mentioned the Whatsapp group btw- these details have been mentioned several times on there, with people joking that they'd be arriving by private jet 😂).

Answer: "They'll be fine coming to yours early. I'll bang their sleeping bags in the boot and DH can drop them off about 3pm on Sunday".

I haven't replied.

I don't want to be responsible for five other kids without their parent there! We have no room for them to sleep over either! My DC share a room in a two bedroomed apartment. It'll be a squeeze getting everyone in on Saturday night, but that's always part of the fun.

In a nutshell:

Am I being selfish? I want to let my hair down as much as I can that night- anyone who's read my other active thread will know it's been a stressful month, and I need it!

If IANBU, please help me craft a reply.

If IABU and completely selfish, help me somehow work out a sleepover arrangement? How practical is it to squeeze 7 kids into one roome? (DB will be sleeping over in the lounge, and he snores like a lawnmower on acid, so impossible to share a room with, much as I love him)

TellMeItsNotTrue · 14/07/2017 00:34

It may be wise to start a new thread soon, because on the day I wouldn't be surprised if there are lots of posts asking what happened Smile

NikiBabe · 14/07/2017 00:39

Allroadsleadtoradley please can you start a new thread and link it here so that we can get all the glory details?

sashh · 15/07/2017 06:38

How about

Sorry you and yours can't make it to my birthday celebration but I loved the joke about you giving me your 5 kids as a present. I almost thought you were serious, but well, who on earth would think of sending 5 kids to stay over in a tiny place like mine? Ha Ha Ha, wait til I tell the others - great joke.

justilou · 15/07/2017 06:50

Ooooooh! It's tonight! Have a wonderful party, Radley! I hope she doesn't try anything!

Yesbutnobutmaybe · 15/07/2017 06:54

How bad is it that I want the cheeky wench to show up?

boo2410 · 15/07/2017 09:22

@ Yesbutnot bad at all, I'm secretly hoping that too, just because of the massive cold shoulder she will get 😂. Roll on later.

🎉 Happy Birthday party Radley🎉 Hope you have plenty of 🍷🍷and 🎂

Brenna24 · 15/07/2017 09:49

I hope you have a lovey time tonight Radley and that the daft mare does't try anything.

I hope you have a lovely time tonight at your party, Radley. And that your "friend" doesn't turn up, and nor do her children. Unless it's to deliver a big bottle of something delicious and to apologise for her ridiculous behaviour.

MrsMozart · 15/07/2017 10:26

Happy party day lass. Hope you have a great one.

Willow2017 · 15/07/2017 12:02

Hope idiot friend stays well away.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 15/07/2017 12:09

Sorry for going quiet!

I had another ping at 7am this morning. I posted on facebook about having another child to sleep over last night (planned for ages, gorgeous little girl, and her mom is mint too!).

Big mistake.

Everything from "so she's good enough to top and tail with (DD) (I posted a cute pic of them in bed and tagged her mom in a "can't believe they're zonked by 9pm" sort of thing) but my kids aren't?" "My relarionship is now in jeopardy because of you!" And begging me to "see sense and reconsider"!

I shit you not!

Christ. What are you going to do Rad?! She s unhinged.

SallyGinnamon · 15/07/2017 12:11

Gah! Stay strong.

FunSizedNinja · 15/07/2017 12:12

Wow. Just wow. Maybe a reply of "yes because fitting 2 in a bed and fitting 5 is the same thing isnt it? Piss off shagzilla and stop trying to dump your kids ON MY BIRTHDAY" followed by the waving emoji?

SallyGinnamon · 15/07/2017 12:13

Actually my blood pressure has gone up reading that. Please don't cave or it'll never stop
