Help me with a "Hell no!" reply, please.

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

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)

?????

I was on your side till you mentioned Lorraine Kelly

God what a cow! It's kind of hilarious in a really, really awful and pathetic way. Why would anyone need to be warned about you being bulimic?! That's not a 'warning', that's just straight-up nasty gossiping.

I had a 'friend' like her once, actually, in my early 20s. We weren't even that close and I'm not sure why she eventually took such a disliking to me but, to cut a VERY long story short, she decided to try and steal all my friends and turn them against me. She did this by claiming to know all sorts of sordid details about my troubled youth, except it was laughable because I was an extremely lame teenager! So her 'shocking' stories about me were things like how I lost my virginity to a holiday romance aged 17... you know, the kinds of things that all my ACTUAL friends knew anyway. And she kept hinting that she knew loads more about me which she couldn't possibly share... it was all total bollocks and luckily my real friends saw straight through it.

I cut contact with her completely a few years later and my life was far happier for it. I saw her fairly recently at a wedding though and she seems just as bitter and insecure as ever. All you can really do is feel sorry for those kinds of people!

That is pathetic. I am so proud of you for rising above it. I hope she crawls off under a stone soon. Her poor kids. i am also really proud of you for keeping your promise to the kids.

Do you know.....this listing of your 'faults and weaknesses' seems like she feels like you don't 'get' to unfriend her on account of YOU being the messed up one??
Maybe you are meant to have a good long look at yourself, realise you have a fucktonne of baggage, and go crawling back to her, the 'normal one' for her wonderful friendship.

frieda I pity people like her.

Even if you hqd been a nasty teen, robbed a bank, whatever, you were never HER- which is half the battle won already!

(I really WAS a little shit when I was younger 😅)

Oh fuck a moose- this is almost full!

Shitballs. This thread is nearly full. 😩

Oh, that PS is just the icing on the cake. Her demise is ensured. I don't blame you one bit for laughing; it is truly laughable, the depths she feel she needs to go to.

Checking in my lunch hour. What's an SH? Am I being thick?

What a nasty fucking bitch.

Seriously, all because you didn't babysit her kids?

Well rid. And it goes without saying, you're a far better person than she.

I'm with you Radley. I pity her. Can you imagine how horrible it must be to have to live inside her head?

For GabsAlot

At least you now know that she won't ask you for any more favours - you are freeeeeee!!!! (I would have posted the bookmarks too)

The thing is, if she thinks so badly of you - wtf would she think you a suitable person to look after her kids? Illogical, captain. So glad you told her where to go :D

There are no words bad enough to describe how batshit she is.

Hope all your friend sent her suitably 'fuck off' responses 😀

What a sad desperate individual who is going to be even more lonely soon ( and really screwed for child care next time she wants a shag 😀)
You rock Radley, you might be immature and crazy (like the rest of us) but you are a classy immature crazy lady😉

She is attempting to make you look bad in order to make herself look better.

In fairness, if any mutual friends do choose to believe her then you are probably better off without them too.

I'd be half tempted to gift her a spade.

Has she sent that email to your mutual friends??
What a complete fucking twat!!

"The thing is, if she thinks so badly of you - wtf would she think you a suitable person to look after her kids? Illogical, captain."

I was thinking that too, BoneStripped!

Legendary!!! You rock Radley!

Well done on sending the bookmarks.

Hope people laugh at her to her face.

You are a legend as others have said. You don't need her she's a nasty, spiteful shit. That you still sent the bookmarks shows how lovely you are. I wish you lived near me as I'd be trying my hardest to make you my friend.
