Thankyou so much for so much support over the previous threads.

I thought a lot about how to respond to F1.
I told her without a proper talk I dont think I can put it behind us.
She suggested we meet up tonight after Ive finished work so we can talk properly.
F2&3 have agreed to be there so another repeat of her flying off the handle doesnt happen.

This time around Im hoping for an explaination and an apology now shes had time to calm down.

If falling out with my friends would cause a massive heartbreaking change in my life, I would make bloody sure I didn't do stupid CF things like F1

KungFuPandaWorksOut16 · 23/10/2017 20:16

Im not responding back because thats what she wants. She can have her pity party but I wont be attending.

I am extremley tempted to do a raffle on my salon facebook knowing she would see it, and do it for a CC Grin

So she posted an 'R U OK, Hun?' leading status? Why am I not surprised?

It's things like this that make me realize that I'm NOT missing anything by not being on FB.

If you do the raffle do it in the shop BUT publicise & share it massively every day on FB ( £1 a ticket to win c&c) You can then donate the money raised to a good cause of YOUR choosing! 😊

Do shops need a licence to do raffles/raise money? I didn't know that.

Oh i meant as in not charge anything kind of thing. I realise raffle was the wrong word. Probably wont do it be kind of hypocritical really.

Just click Like on her status. It will irritate her.

liking posts can be done easily by accidents. But loving them can't

Glamorousglitter · 23/10/2017 21:35

Oh don’t ! Don’t feed into her anymore. Let it lie. Walk away.

2017SoFarSoGood · 23/10/2017 21:37

Soup and Lurking Grin

Kung Stay classy. Stay you. You have been lovely all through this madness. Don't stoop.

I'm sorry. Losing a friendship is really hard. Perhaps harder when you realize it was actually no friendship at all Flowers

KeepItAsItIs · 23/10/2017 22:23

I think I'd choose the haha status Grin.

lalliella · 23/10/2017 23:09

Lurking sorry. Don't do a raffle, it would definitely be hypocritical. You have the moral high ground, keep it.

emmyrose2000 · 24/10/2017 02:08

She probably hasn't blocked you (yet) so she can keep tabs on whether you'll all say anything about the situation on social media, and/or she wants you to see what SHE'S saying, and hopefully react.

I'd just block her. She's silly and childish (to put it mildly) and not worth your time.

I have to admit I would be curious as to what she might say in the following days/week. Are her posts public? If so, I'd block her but then log out of my account and read her public posts. (Regardless, I'd block her anyway).

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 24/10/2017 07:56

Agree, don't do a freebie promotional giveaway, that would be heaping coals of fire on and is unnecessary and unworthy of you.

Don't block her either - that would add fuel to her feelings of being "wronged".

Just let it lie, see what happens over time.

lalliella · 24/10/2017 08:02

Agree, don't block her. You need to see what she's saying about you.

Longhairmightcare · 24/10/2017 09:53

You change your setting on Facebook to make an individual friend ‘restricted’ so they can only see your public posts. You’re still on their friends list so can’t claim to be blocked, but only see what you share as ‘public’. You can still what they post, unless they do the same.

FlyingJellyfishInTheAttic · 24/10/2017 20:17

OP she wants a response, silence is most powerful. Don't respond then she doesn't get control of the situation.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Grin Grin
Definitely do something like this!

You can see her passive aggressive behaviour and raise her by one! Grin Grin
She'll be furious! Grin

PoorYorick · 24/10/2017 21:04

Tempting as it may be, adding passive aggressive fuel to this fire will cost you the dignity and Grace you've maintained this far. She's had her comeuppance, anything added now is just pure spite. Leave it, block her. She's not a friend so you don't need any channels of communication.

Jux · 25/10/2017 10:14

Why would doing a raffle be hypocritical? If Kung had said she didn’t want to ‘honour’ her ex-friend’s donation Grin because she didn’t do charity, then it would be. But she said she objected to having her services donated without consultation or request. Why does that make doing any sort of charity thing hypocritical? It doesn’t does it?

OP, it would be lovely if you could afford to do a ‘like my salon and win an updo’ charity thing if you wanted to, but only if you wanted to.

callmeadoctor · 25/10/2017 10:21

I think that you should step back and let all this go now. Im sure that you have got much better things to do than worry about what an ex friend is saying about you. Its done now, no need to go over it all again in your head all the time. Forget it ever happened and move on. Grin
