I think my friend should pay, she thinks we should split it?

Driving a friend 4 hours away for an operation (cosmetic) and will use 2 full tanks of fuel in my car, cost of a hotel, food while I'm there and I'm using a days annual leave.
She wants to split all costs down the middle, whereas I think I'm using my holiday entitlement and 2 days of my time (which I am more than happy to give up) but don't think I should be paying for fuel, or for the hotel? I've said I'll pay for all my own food.
Her logic is we're both going so why should only she pay, she's already paying lots for surgery.
My logic is I wouldn't be going if it wasn't to do her a favour so don't see it fair to split costs.
Whats the right thing to do here? Don't want to be mean but trying to be fair...

Well done. I’m sure this isn’t the last you hear from her about it. After all she’s been such a great friend and you’re repaying her by letting her down. Cheeky mare. Grin

That's brilliant... can't wait to see her reply! Grin

Well done you! There are too many of us who easily end up being mugs taken advantage of by these CFs. I think it's because girls are brought up being taught to be nice. It's making me think about how I bring up my DDs, which is a good thing.

Well done.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/05/2018 14:24

Well! There's no coming back from that!

She'll dine out on it for weeks.... and all her other friends will be mortified on her behalf, whilst being incredibly grateful it wasn't them that had to deal with her!

Well done. It was harsh, but fair!

TomRavenscroft · 08/05/2018 14:24

Fucking hilarious, OP!

Lizzie48 · 08/05/2018 14:49

From the sounds of it she doesn't have any other friends. Hardly a surprise.

iwantavuvezela · 08/05/2018 14:52

Now that's what I call having the last word.

0lgaDaPolga · 08/05/2018 14:55
