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

[Welshgal1]

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...

Omg! Just got to her vile texts.

She is one CF!!

Why can't she just get a taxi back to the hotel?

There must be one person on earth that can go with her on a train to London and pick her up in a taxi afterwards, even if she has to actually pay them.

There is absolutely not a contract. Contracts in England and Wales need to be in consideration of something. That means there needs to be an exchange of e.g price for e.g service. You were doing this as a friend, gratuitously, and there was no agreed obligation on you either to pay for your hotel or to take her at all.

Your response was perfect.

She's bonkers. Especially if she never told you a chaperone was required by the clinic. As far as you were aware, she could go on her own and that was her initial plan.

Whatever she's on... I think she could make some of the 'lost' money back by selling it by the ounce.

Op, when you get pregnant (on your surprise trip), you have to post pics of your gigantic boobs on Facebook.

“New boobs. Didn’t cost a cent. Baby an added bonus!”

Could this help:

{ Intention of legal consequences:
A contract necessitates that the parties involved are intending to enter into a legally binding agreement. All parties must acknowledge that they are obliged by law to adhere to the contract and that the agreement can be enforced by law. The intention to create legal relations is recognised by all, so the contract doesn’t have to state that you understand and intend legal results to follow as this is presumed upon entering the contract. If all the parties to a contract agree and determine that the contract is not to be legally bound, this must be clearly stated in the contract for it not to be legally enforceable.

Consideration:
In order for a contract to be binding it must be reinforced by valuable consideration. That means one party promises to do something in return for a promise from the other party to provide a benefit of value (the consideration). The consideration is basically a trust agreement between the parties as the agreed price for the other’s promises. This is usually accepted in monetary values, but isn’t always; it can be anything of value including the promise not to do something, or to refrain from exercising some right.

The Terms and Conditions:
If, for any reason, there is a dispute over a contract, it is brought to the courts to be dealt with legally then the courts will have to look in detail at the terms and conditions that surrounded the contract. A contract cannot be said to be complete if the terms and conditions were unclear. }

You didn't intend to enter a legally binding contract or that the contract could be enforced by law.

This is getting better and better!

There was no consideration (i.e. The whole scenario was you doing things without any benefit from her) there is therefore no contract. A "lawyer" will bounce her out of the office.

I have no words!!!

Fuck it OP, screenshot every single one of her texts and put them on FB. That ought to shut her up!

She is delusional!

Her FB post about infertility and karma just show her to be the horrible cow she is.

@Welshgal1 just a little side note, if you have no success after 6 months of trying,go to your doctors and ask to be referred, I had long cycles and it turned out I had PCOS, so I was given clomid and metformin and conceived after 5 months, good luck x

Easiest way to make TitCuntZilla quiet is to send her a message with her FB status and simply put - "I wonder what I would get in court when suing you for character defamation.....my lawyers will be in touch".

Fucking stupid bitch CF she is.

What a selfish CF bitch!!

I think I love you a little bit op!

She’s nuts. Pure nuts. Don’t engage.

Ask your mutual friend to take screenshots of Titzilla's FB page. If in some batshit parallel universe this does somehow go to court, you can use what she's saying in her posts to show her being misleading to others by implying it was a medical procedure for health reasons.

Do this just in case though!

‘Lawyers’ plural is a dead giveaway though - straight off telly!

I haven't enjoyed a thread so much in ages.

I can't wait for the ITV drama. Can the judge be Olivia Coleman?

There's sometimes a fantastic payback for waking up stupidly early - getting to indulge in threads like this.

You've done fantastically well - keep going!

“A "lawyer" will bounce her out of the office.”

Could your mutual friend please recommend a very very good £200/per hour solicitor who doesn’t do the “free half hour”?

So she can pay £200 to hear what an idiot she is?

I'd have to get my friend to post
"Perhaps some of your other friends will offer to take you as welsh has let you down so terribly. Perhaps they won't mind using their holiday days and paying for half the hotel and the petrol for the pleasure of taking you and being your nursemaid. Isn't it terrible that Welsh wasn't that keen to be out of pocket for her favour."

Thank you those who clarified the contract law. Knew I shouldn't have tried to think about it at 2am!

Really want to know who titzilla is so i can fb stalk her and so we can send hundreds of friend requests! I'll offer to take her... cost her £13000 though and my expenses
