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'm glad I don't have some of you angry, strange people for friends in rl!

Nice.

Brilliant. Well done.

Jay Kay missed a trick not noticing your new hair, though. He shall forever feel there is something indefinable missing from his life.

Guardsman18 · 05/11/2017 18:37

Jux - I remember earlier, you posted lovely words. Thank you x.

I think Jay is taken though - he brought his son on stage last night

Hopefully the 820 will be back in your ass pocket by, next Christmas? Smile

She MEANT the Hotel.. which was Home for the night.... Hmm

why would you bother wasting your energy coming on here to accuse someone of Lying ??

coconutpie · 05/11/2017 19:14

HappyEmoji - you clearly misinterpreted the OP. She said she got taxi ’home’ alone - ie to the hotel.

You’re glad that you don’t have ‘angry strange people on here as friends in rl’ but you’re happy to have a friend who owes you £800?

AnneOfCleavage · 05/11/2017 19:18

Happyemoji she said "home" so meant hotel then said her friend phoned at 3am to ask for hotel address so she didn't go to her actual home.

Geillis · 05/11/2017 19:18

@dexter0 I think you misread. Go back and read properly 🙄

RainbowCake · 05/11/2017 19:19

I understand 'home' to mean home for the night, the hotel.

SandyDenny · 05/11/2017 19:24

Can people not see the quotes round the word "home"

It's obvious she meant the hotel in Birmingham. Glad you had a good night and only ended uo 20 down

Breadwithgarlicon · 05/11/2017 19:27

Very well done, OP!!! GrinStar

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 05/11/2017 19:33

Now fuck off all you angry strange people! She does t want you as friends in real life!...just the leech’s in society that owe her nearly a grand!

Go OP Flowers

iMogster · 05/11/2017 19:37

I read 'home' as meaning hotel. Too subtle for a lot of people, best to be clear and write hotel.

Well done for being assertive. It worked! You are stronger now and she will know this, hopefully she won't try it on all the time anymore.
