This is probably a bit outing but IDGAF really.
A few weeks ago one of my neighbours came for coffee. We were chatting about upcoming holidays and she asked who was feeding our cat. I said my ILs were and she said, oh don't be silly, I'll do it.
Now, she does have form for being a bit of a flake so in the run up I checked, double checked and triple checked she was still ok to do it. I saw her two days before we went and she said she'd pop round and get the key and I could show her where all the stuff is.
The next day I sent her a text to say we were in if she wanted to pop over. Radio silence. I called, no answer.
So then we had to ask the ILs to step in, which they were fine to do, but it meant another trip out to give them the keys and was all a bit of a faff.
(I'm getting to the point, I promise).
I posted holiday photos on FB while we were away and she 'liked' them.
She has been active on our neighbourhood group chat. Not one word has been said.
Dh wants me to just forget it as he doesn't want neighbour drama. I'd love to give her both barrels.
ANYWAY. It is our annual garden party today (not as wanky as it sounds, just an opportunity to get all our various friends together). She was invited weeks ago.
If she turns up I am so so tempted to tell her to do one. The only issue is that she will have her five kids in tow. I might let them come, the older ones anyway, and tell her she's not welcome.
WIBU? And can you think of a suitably cutting way to say it that gets my point across?
