The next thread...

Fingers crossed for a nice update for you all.

Both in the wrong!!!! You cannot be serious, why do some people find it so hard to put their hands up, say they messed up and apologize. The woman is in danger of loosing all her mates and still, she doesn't apologize. Beggars belief

CF sounds like a jealous cow that takes advantage of others to make her look good.

You're better off without her. Stating the obvious

If you were in my neck of the woods I'd happily make an appointment to support your business, given how much grief this CF has caused you. Best of luck OP.

Google 'Hairzilla' - this thread is the top result!

I think you're right not to reply KungFu. Ignore, block, and move on would be my advice.

Wonder what CF F1 will think when she eventually becomes aware of this thread

She is winding her neck in as she sees F2 & F3 are not on her side.
2 options: 1) let her stew.
She thinks she has offered an olive branch, & will say to anyone listening that you have not accepted it. Do not stoop to her level.
2) take your mutual blame theory & FOTTFSOF

2. respond .......take your mutual blame theory & FOTTFSOF

I think ignoring might well be the best approach. If I did reply, I would say something like 'I am incredibly hurt by how you've treated me, but I am prepared to accept your apology' or something along those lines.

Not something which says you'll put it behind you or carry on being friends, but equally doesn't give her any ammunition.

If she doesn't sincerely apologise then I would be cool and polite but distant if your paths cross. Even if she does apologise, I'd personally not see her in the same light again and I'd definitely keep my guard up, but I might be prepared to be friendly. She's well and truly burned her bridges with this though.

I think she's going to get even angrier actually at having her magnanimous apology ignored. She seems the type to expect poor Kung to drop to her knees in thanks for the opportunity to have the piss ripped even more. I hope I'm wrong.

My CFF1 is a peach isn’t she??? I hope she DOES see this thread!

My gosh! What a character!

You could reply - I only seem to have received part of your last text message , the part where you apologise for your behaviour appears to be missing. Could you resend.

I dont think I can find the words too respond

I find 'who is this?' works in 99.9% of cases such as this.

This thread is quite unique with its circumstances, I'm sure if CF/F1 is a MNer she will have seen it, especially as it's been sent out in the MN daily email...

WRT replying I would go for a PP's "I accept your apology". I can't imagine CF/F1 will let it lie and she will want to argue that she's not the only one in the wrong and she wasn't apologising etc

Yep inclined to agre with a simple “apology accepted” text.

Nothing more. No emotion. No conversation. Play the long game and don’t give into the anger that you probably (and rightfully) feel.

Which gas if fact happened, F1 aka cfc, well and truly cooked her goose 😂

• has

No idea how anyone could say yabu
F1 conpletely took advantage!
You gave her a way out and that still wasn't good enough.
If she looks bad to the pta then that's her problem.
A real friend would never have done this to you in the first place!!

"I don't think I can find the words to respond" may actually be the perfect response.

Or "you've volunteered me for £45 of a donation at a time I can't afford it without even having the manners to ask me first, you've screamed at me in my salon in front of our friends, and you've slagged me off on Facebook and said I'm dead to you, and now I'm expected to say it's half my fault and put it all behind me? Ive truly had enough now, thanks."

Of course you're better off just letting her sweat and saying nothing!

I hope you're having a nice evening OP and putting this all out of your mind. However I will momentarily be a CF and ask

"Pleeeeeease may we have a new thread?"

I think you will only do damage if you reply to that. Have you talked to F2 or F3? I'm sure that between you, you could come up with a sensible way to deal with F1 which doesn't involve you having to pretend that you did anything wrong.

That's assuming you want to continue the friendship. Do you think you could continue to be friends with the other 3 while remaining very cool with F1, and just not doing anything with her?

Do you actually have a child at the school ?

OP has no child at the school, though is hoping to send her now-tiny child there in a few years.
