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.

I look forward to a Sunday update, potentially more interesting than the papers will be I’m sure .

FeralBeryl · 05/11/2017 03:52

Gah whole thread and no end to the story!

AdalindSchade · 05/11/2017 03:54

Omg what a waste of time reading this thread was with no update!!!

HopefullyAnonymous · 05/11/2017 04:12

I knew this was how it would turn out!

SoulStew · 05/11/2017 06:50

There’s probably a hangover involved, so, won’t hold out for an early update! (but will check regularly anyway)

I hope you had a lovely time and are sleeping away after a nice train journey. I suspect you're not, but I hope you are!

Mxyzptlk · 05/11/2017 08:47

Must be a nice feeling for an OP to find their thread mobbed with people staring at them and demanding an update. Grin

Hope you had a great evening, guardsman.

Lostflipflop · 05/11/2017 09:07

Well as she's agreed to reimburse you AFTER the event she is unlikely to give you the money on the day (if at al)
I think you should have learned your lesson from last time.

FinallyDecidedOnUserName · 05/11/2017 09:25

Omg I really need to know the outcome

boo2410 · 05/11/2017 09:25

Well, I wasn't going to post but I will placemark just incase there is an update. If not I hope OP enjoyed the concert, with or without (hopefully if said friend didn't cough up) friend. She is definitely a CF (the friend that is).

rjay123 · 05/11/2017 09:34

Permatired - Glastonbury was in June Hmm

mumof2sarah · 05/11/2017 09:40

I hope you managed to stand your ground lovely. I know sometimes I say Ivan do it then when it comes to it I bottle it. I hope you've enjoyed the concert and liberation of it all xxx
