Help needed please!
Was very close to friend for years. She's rubbish with money but was good at spending mine! We don't see each other so much, but still chat and I went to her birthday bash a few weeks ago.

It took me a while, but the penny finally dropped and I no longer 'lend' her money. (Think 'loan' for £1000 seven years ago and have only had £200 ish back).

There is a band that we have always wanted to see - I know I sound about 10!), so we agreed that I would get the tickets on my card and she would reimburse me after Glastonbury - very expensive!

Here's the thing - tomorrow is the day we go and I think (know?) that she won't have the money.

WIBU to just not go with her? Am meant to be picking her up at 12 pm.

Rachie1986 · 04/11/2017 18:11

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 04/11/2017 18:17

Emergency On Planet Mumsnet!

How am I supposed to enjoy Pointless Celebrities not knowing who is at a Jamiroquai concert, and who is not?

ButtonMooooon · 04/11/2017 18:18

According to TicketMaster it started at 6pm (although this seems early so may be doors open). Overinvested

Tanfastic · 04/11/2017 18:20

I assume she didn't take the train as there would be tons of mumsnetting time.

She's taken her freeloading friend hasn't she? Confused

MintyChops · 04/11/2017 18:25

Well done Fluffy, I hope your ex-friend was mortified by the whole “having to leave driving license/call parents” scenario.

Come back and tell us what happened OP!

jammydodgersss · 04/11/2017 18:26

I think concert starts at 7.15pm

poddige · 04/11/2017 18:33

Give Mumsnet a chance!

GabsAlot · 04/11/2017 18:46

wow aftr 22 pages it seems its not real or cf has done it again!

Lemonicelolly1 · 04/11/2017 18:51

Ahhh can't believe I've just read 22 pages for no update Confused

Stonesourfangirl · 04/11/2017 18:52

Nooooo! Where are you OP?

ReallyJustBloodyDidThat · 04/11/2017 18:57

What's been puzzling me all along is that the OP lives 30 seconds away from the station, but she was going to drive there and park her car at the station. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just walk to the station?

I don't think we'll see the OP again lol.

Really

Good spot!

treacletoffee23 · 04/11/2017 19:13

Shes run off with Jay Kay

raisinsarenottheonlyfruit · 04/11/2017 19:13

Maybe her friend did show up with the money.

I hope the OP is having a good time, either way.

raisinsarenottheonlyfruit · 04/11/2017 19:16

If she doesn't come back it'll be because you lot scared her off with your obsessive posting about updates!

Was it a parking thread or a house thread or something where the OP was away for a while and someone obsessed with getting an update managed to identify her house from Rightmove and posted it. Unsurprisingly that OP was pretty freaked out.

Chill out people! Hopefully the OP is having a nice time. But, you know, this is RL not a novel. She'll update when she's ready. Or not if you all scare her off! Chill your boots!

raisinsarenottheonlyfruit · 04/11/2017 19:17

Shes run off with Jay Kay now that would be awesome :)

usernameavailable · 04/11/2017 19:25

I need to know!

I have frequently been skint. I have just turned down invitations to go places when I wad unable to afford to. I realise now I have missed a trick, I should have just gone and got my friends to subsidise me.

You have revolutionised my life. I no longer have to live within my means. I can sponge of soft twats and live the high life. Grin
