To be really quite miffed off with DFriend and to invite someone else instead?

So its been a rollercoaster of a year and me and 2 friends decided last month to book a Christmas weekend away- just us 3, no kids or partners.

Anyway we knew were we wanted to stay (been there a few times with the kids and DPs) and i paid in full last month after both friends confirming they were happy with the arrangements and there would be no conflicts with Christmas parties, childcare cover etc I booked and paid in full and both friends paid me their share.

Anyway get a text off one of them last night- apparently her and her DP have decided to buy their daughter a puppy for Christmas and could she possibly have her money back and pay for her share in January?

Im quite gobsmacked to be honest. Its not that i dont trust her to pay her share (ive lent her money before and its always come back) its just I feel its a bit cheeky.

I feel like texting her back and telling her I can give her her money back but will be finding someone else to come on the trip if thats the case.

AIBU?

Tell her it would be against your morals and values to fund a dog for Christmas.
Anyway, why don't people live within their means anymore?!

'Sorry, I've already paid the balance over the the hotel, never any spare cash lying around this time of year is there?! good luck with puppy plans!'

Done.

go back, ask her if she is asking for a loan as you have already paid for the trip?
