To think she's the CF not me

I got pregnant around the same time as a family member's close friend decided she didn't want to have any more children. I was the only person she knew who had/was having a baby so she decided to give me all her old things she no longer needed (moses basket, bath seat, baby chair) etc. I offered to pay for these things and she refused, I was very grateful. Anyway fast forward a few months and the family member who's friend this is, very unexpectedly, got pregnant and she came to me and said "friend says I can have all her stuff now, when can I come collect it", I was shocked initially but wasn't using some of the stuff anyway so took it over when she was around 20 weeks. She had a checklist on her phone from her friend of all the things I had to give back! I was so offended, it's as if she thinks she can't trust me. Anyways I've been slowly giving the stuff back as my dd grows out of it but I got a text the other day saying I need all the stuff back now please and a list of what I still had (she's not even nearly due and as I said it's still in use) I took the things round to her house including a bath seat that I'd still been using (she only has a shower) Also a moses basket for which I gave her my brand new mattress as the one her friend gave was used and tattered. She said oh "friend has sent me a link to her moses basket mattress as it's more expensive than yours, can you bring that". Bare in mind she's aware I've never used a moses basket as I ended up co sleeping so it's not like she thought I'd nabbed it for myself. AIBU to think this is absolute CFery. I wouldn't have minded giving the stuff back but the way they've gone about it has made me feel like utter shit and like I'm the one being cheeky!

People can get off about baby stuff. A very good friend gave me a loan of a Priam for a short time. When I gave it back to her, she made a big fuss of assembling it in front of me, looking for each connector etc. It was all there but she was like a crazed person doing it. I was mortified as I assume she thought I’d mistreated it.

Have you done something to annoy her?
