That's just... shocking. So sorry to hear it, KungFu. Don't be embarrassed about your reaction. Who on Earth would have expected F1 to come and rant at you?!?

And I'm really glad that you had F2 & 3 to go round to and have wine with. You are totally in the right. F1 is totally in the wrong. You have handled yourself with grace and aplomb. Flowers

lurkingnotlurking · 19/10/2017 21:13

I would tell the PTA briefly what happened, but that you will continue to offer the prize you agreed with them directly. And I agree about keeping an eye on social media

pictish · 19/10/2017 21:14

Ah yuck...she has made a fool of herself trying to impress her new friends in the PTA and her mortification has turned to anger which she has taken out on you. Once she has calmed down and this has blown over she'll deeply regret her bull-in-a-china-shop performance...and I bloody hope she does. What a rude, self-serving, inappropriate way to behave.
I'm so sorry Panda - that confrontation must have been awful.

FucksakeCuntingFuckingTwats · 19/10/2017 21:14

Wow what a turn of events! Glad f2 and f3 could come round so quickly to drink wine and comfort you. That's the type of friends you need. Somehow doubt f1 will have many new friends on the pta after this stunt.

DartmoorDoughnut · 19/10/2017 21:15

Fucking hell Shock glad F2 and F3 are there for you

HashiAsLarry · 19/10/2017 21:15

Hope you're feeling better after your cry. That's completely understandable in the circumstances too. You've done nothing wrong except refuse to bow down to a selfish fucker.

As a pp said, she seems jealous of you. And so she should be right now. You have dignity, she has egg on her face.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/10/2017 21:16

Well, her true colours certainly aren't beautiful !
You are stronger than you thought, well done. You didn't need to hurl abuse to put your point across, she's a foul mouthed loser, and unfortunately for her, everyone can now see her, for who she really is.
You'll feel better tomorrow. ⭐️🍷🍷🍷💐

ohtheholidays · 19/10/2017 21:16

Oh Kung she really is a Grade A Bitch and she does not deserve you as a friend!

I'm sorry she has treated you so badly she's lucky you didn't react by giving her a smack round the head!

It's great that F2 and F3 came to check on you,I hope karma bites the CF on the arse infront of the whole of the PTA Flowers

Whinesalot · 19/10/2017 21:17

How supportive were F2 and F3?

Spacey25 · 19/10/2017 21:17

I’ve been following along with this whole story with my mouth dropped open! I wouldn’t take anything that this awful ex-friend has said to you to heart. She sounds like a horrible person and cared more about impressing new friends than the feelings of you, a long term friend. Well she has learnt the hard way and she is the one with egg on her face. I do hope that the friendship dynamic between the 4 of you won’t be awkward going forward...it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out!

lostpurplehoodie · 19/10/2017 21:18

It probably doesn’t help now but might in the future to realise that she’s gone in with all guns blazing because she realises she’s being a massive bellend and can’t back down. I think I’m misquoting Dumbledore when I say it’s much easier to forgive someone for being wrong than it is for being right. She knows you’ve done nothing wrong and can’t get over that so is behaving atrociously.

It’s perfectly ok not to have said anything in response to her bellendry. You can’t come back with anything rational or logical in the face of irrational and illogical stupidity. I think you’ve acted with dignity and can hold your head up high.

Once you’ve had your cry and wine put it in the past and move forward, and know that anyone who behaves like she has isn’t going to be a real friend. It sucks when you find out your friends are in it for themselves but ultimately it’s something worthwhile finding out.

Kintan · 19/10/2017 21:18

I’m glad you have F2 and F3 for real life support. What do they make of F1’s ridiculous outburst? Hope the wine and your friends have made you feel better. That F1 sound like a vile bully who can’t believe someone has stood up to her.

JWrecks · 19/10/2017 21:18

Shock She fucking never!!

Wow.

Oh OP I'm so sorry. What a horrible thing to happen! :( What a horrible cow she is.

Honestly, it sounds like you feel you didn't do all you could while she was there being horrible, but I personally can't imagine what else anybody would have done. I'd have been to gobsmacked to say anything myself, and just stared at her open mouthed like she had an owl on her head.

I think you did 100% the right thing in every aspect. And I'm SO sorry she was such a nasty shit to you. You don't deserve that at all!

Hopefully it makes at least some difference to you - I imagine her nastiness level equals that of how shit she feels about what she's done, whether she has the dignity to admit wrongdoing it or not.

dustarr73 · 19/10/2017 21:18

Do you know what op,she will need you before you will ever need her.Head held high,you where right not to answer her back.No point.You cant argue with stupid,egotistical people.WineFlowers

DrKrogersfavouritepatient · 19/10/2017 21:20

Bloody hell. That's so outrageous.
I'm so sorry you've been subjected to that aggression by a "friend"
This is her issue and her behaviour has been appalling
Take comfort in your actual friends.
and Wine

mummybug355 · 19/10/2017 21:20

I feel like you need to share this post and the last with her to show her how bang out of order the spoilt brat Is

Aeroflotgirl · 19/10/2017 21:21

What a nasty cow. She sounds jealous and spiteful! The fact she volunteered your services without asking, and lied, no she showed herself up for who she is. Funny that, if she had asked you properly for a donation towards the raffle prize yiu probably would have been fine with it.

DrKrogersfavouritepatient · 19/10/2017 21:22

Also, although I think I might have taken a slightly different approach I don't for one minute think that it would have changed the outcome because of her
er
unhingedness?

Apileofballyhoo · 19/10/2017 21:22

I'm shocked. So sorry that happened to you. I was really hoping you weren't updating because you were with Fs 2&3, and you were. She's an absolute cunt to treat you like that. Is verbal assault something you can go to the police with?

MiddleClassProblem · 19/10/2017 21:23

Just read all this. How awful, KungFu! She’s done the equivalent of taking £40 out you wallet and popping it in a charity collection behind your back and then turned around and said you’re a horrible person for not being ok with money being taken from you.

I can’t believe she’s still keeping up the pretence that she’s right! Keep her at arms length if you do make up in any form. At least the other two can see sense.

Stillonthatbloodycomputer · 19/10/2017 21:24

This really is unbelievable behaviour , you have conducted yourself with dignity , be proud of that. I'd certainly keep hold of the texts , just in case they're needed for reference in future because she sounds vindictive. I'd also contact PTA and say you'll honour your offer of the up do subject to T 's & C's , what you don't need is her bad mouthing you to others and lying saying you've withdrawn because you've fallen out.
I'm self employed and it's amazing how many assume they'll get mates rates or freebies, they wouldn't dream of giving me a cut of their salary because they don't perceive that's exactly what it is, it's thought your takings go in your pocket .
Sending love n hugs

purplepandas · 19/10/2017 21:24

I am sorry op, I am truly speechless. I would also be letting the PTA know as I think they need to know what they are dealing with. I hope the wine helped, you are so much better than her and have been dignified. F1 clearly does not even know what that means.

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 19/10/2017 21:24

I think your response to that barrage of abuse was absolutely perfect.

I would now do what a pp suggests, tell pta lady you were subjected to a barrage of abuse tonight in your salon. Say you considered pulling out altogether but on balance you've decided to stick with the donation, however, you cannot possibly hand over the voucher to CF so could PTA lady arrange for someone else to collect the voucher please.

AndersArms · 19/10/2017 21:24

She sound fucking unhinged OP. Probably for the best you didn't respond because she would have worked herself up even more.

I don't think she will ever get just how hideously she has behaved.
