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...

That is an EXCELLENT response! I especially love the ps bit. I'd love to have seen her face when she got that Grin.

Has she replied?

SteveMcGarrettsBudgieSmugglers · 08/05/2018 20:06

brilliant reply would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when she got that

Lizzie48 · 08/05/2018 20:09

She very likely won't reply, probably sulking like my DDs (9 and 6) would do.

MsJolly · 08/05/2018 20:25

Awesome response OP! Would have paid to see her face as she read that!😂😂😂

Bummymum · 08/05/2018 20:30

There really was no need to be that rude op. You've lost the higher ground now. How sad.

Hahahahaha not really. Go you! StarGlitterball

MumW · 08/05/2018 20:31

I had a moment of fiery confidence and sent it and now I'm staring at it in disbelief. I have never spoken out like this in my life!
So glad you had a moment, you've made our evening. Go girl. 🍷🍷
She gives CFs a bad name 😆

muffyduffster · 08/05/2018 20:35

Well done op

qwertqwertyqwerty · 08/05/2018 20:43

She should pay UNLESS where you are going is a spa or something which you will use, while she goes under the knife.

HettySunshine · 08/05/2018 20:48

Rtft qwerty. You won't regret it!

megafemme · 08/05/2018 20:55

Welshgal1 · 08/05/2018 21:35

I've been left on read ever since.. and promptly unfriended on facebook Grin

My OH was so proud of me for finally telling her to shove it (he's hated her since the day they met years ago due to her attitude) that he has planned a surprise trip for the days I was meant to be in London GrinGrin

Can't stop smiling ever since

The trip isn’t to London near the clinic is it 😂 just happen to walk past as she steps out all bandaged up.

Your DH sounds fab. I hope you have a great time on your trip, and that you make a baby while there 😉
