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)

?????

WOW she's a cunt. Who even says shit like that?! Fuck her so much. You're well rid. And you deserve an award for sending the bookmarks - you're definitely a better person than me!

Cagliostro · 17/07/2017 11:50

Holy shit, that comment!!! She is batshit

prettybird · 17/07/2017 11:51

Delurks on this thread to say it makes me wonder if she is actually herself "in the closet" but in denial and actually fancies you Radley Shock Hence the strength of her reaction in being cut off by you.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 17/07/2017 11:56

On a brighter note, I woke up with a sense of dread this morning, knowing I'm behind on orders because of getting wankered at the weekend, ends to sew in, etc...to find that NETFLIX ARE SHOWING HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN RERUNS!!!!

Who's the batshit one now? 😀😀😀

That comment of hers is so pathetic, I might just burst into tears. You have handled this brilliantly Radley, well done

Rad you're a star, what a total fucking bitch CF is!!

Hissy · 17/07/2017 12:18

This is the oddest reaction from her ever.

I do wonder if she is a little besotted too tbh.

Clearly the shagfest wasn't enough to de-stress her...

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 17/07/2017 12:19

She is so not my type.

she's not Lorraine Kelly

Flipping heck. Words fail.

Be glad she's no longer part of your life, though you might have to be prepared for her to try and get back into it.

As for the bookmarks - knew you'd send them and would've expected nothing less from you lass. I speak as someone who 'knows you' only from this thread, but you come across as a kind and decent person.

Holy shit. I'm now seconding a PP's question of 'is she ok?' This has gone beyond being brass necked now.

AlpacaPicnic · 17/07/2017 12:39

Well my dear Radley (you are my new girl crush, yes you are, tough pants!) You've got two choices...

You hold my coat while I punch her in the face.

Pick one please Grin

frieda909 · 17/07/2017 12:39

Radley! FlowersCakeWine You definitely deserve all of these! What a nasty, nasty piece of work!

I'm so curious as to how that email even began! I don't get how she can possibly justify any of this or what 'her side' of the story could possibly be that doesn't make her look any less than batshit.

'OMG, you'll never believe what Radley did! So, get this, you know how she was having her birthday party the other night? Well, I was going on a date so I asked Radley to get her DH to pick up my kids and take them back to hers for the night. And she said no! She said it was her party and she didn't want to watch my five kids for the night! And she didn't want to give up her bed for them either. Can you BELIEVE her? She'd rather get drunk and have fun at her own birthday party than look after my kids! What a bitch!'

frieda909 · 17/07/2017 12:41

Oh and you did absolutely the right thing with the bookmarks! You're a classy lady Star

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 17/07/2017 12:46

The email began as basically a warning. Apparantly she has seen a side of me that no one else has (riiiiight) and she wouldn't want mf to get "trapped" like she did!

She then went on to list all of my "faults". But in ways which made me and DB piss ourselves, because she was SO serious about it all! "I'm afraid to tell you that she's a little too familliar with the bottom of the toilet bowl" 😀.

(Ps, I haven't relapsed for more than a year. I used the word "bulimic" in the present tense, because, as anyone with an ED would know, once you're anorexic, or bulimic, or any other ic, it's sort of there for life.)

Radley YAB utterly U. LORRAINE KELLY??? There's a whole world of beautiful women out there and you're crushing on Lorraine Kelly? I mean I suppose there's the accent but really.

Get thissen back to Netflix and find a comlier wench.

That's appalling. Utterly nasty. I hope your friend gave her what for by means of reply!
