She isnt going to apologise, she is going to make it all about HER and how OP let HER down in front of her precious pta.

Its not HER fault that op didnt honour HER donation and pay for it for HER.
Its not HER fault its nearly Xmas and SHE cant afford what SHE promised the pta.
Its all KungFu's fault, its so easy to understand isnt it?....

RebelRogue · 19/10/2017 17:09

Keep strong OP and don’t let yourself to be guilt tripped into anything.

Looking fwd to update! Flowers

Waffles80 · 19/10/2017 17:12

Link?

DartmoorDoughnut · 19/10/2017 17:12

Hope she apologises

midnightmisssuki · 19/10/2017 17:13

thanks for the link kungfu.you are a legend!..while we are waiting for an update, can i ask a cheeky question about hair colouring Grin

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 19/10/2017 17:13

Good job OP!

BurningBright · 19/10/2017 17:14

Unapologetic place mark.

TwoDrifters · 19/10/2017 17:14

Hope it goes well!

Just stay calm and remember if she tries to play the “I simply forgot to tell you about it and don’t see the big deal” card, that:

  1. She didn’t apologise when you found out and queried it with her
  2. She was never going to offer to reimburse you for your time and resources
  3. She ignored your worried texts and calls whilst at the same time questioning your friends as to what you were going to do
  4. She then bolshily asked if you were going to donate or not (still no apology)
  5. She was willing for you to be out of pocket and told your friends you were being unreasonable whilst having no intention of putting herself out at all

Thanks, I had read most of the previous thread but hadn't put 2 & 2 together

Also an unapologetic placemark Grin

I think a lot of people confuse friends helping other friends out with friends taking advantage of other friends generosity. Sometimes it's not so clear cut.

I let friends pay a reduced price for something once. It turned into her friends wanting the same prices. I was doing a one-off favour for my friend not all her friends. I had to very clearly spell out how much of a favour I'd done her and how it was because of our friendship. She hadn't fully realised how long I'd spent and how I wasn't a business and wouldn't put that much time and care in for someone else.

RhiannonOHara · 19/10/2017 17:18

Not just blatantly place-marking...

SideOrderofSprouts · 19/10/2017 17:18

Good luck op

Ellendegeneres · 19/10/2017 17:19

Good luck!

ToothTrauma · 19/10/2017 17:20

Surely she’s coming to apologise? She can’t be coming to brazen it out.

Brightredpencil · 19/10/2017 17:22

C.F. I really want this to end in a satisfactory way - all loose ends tied up and hopefully some brilliantly ironic comeback on the C.F. She wins the raffle prize/everyone finds out the whole story in a public place and turns round and gasos at the same time etc

Brightredpencil · 19/10/2017 17:22

Gasps

Lj8893 · 19/10/2017 17:22

Blatant placemark. Hope she is planning on apologising!!

StormTreader · 19/10/2017 17:24

Placemarking here too, i am 50/50 on whether it'll be an apology or a reprimand. Cant wait!
