To ignore this birthday text?

[BlueRiviera]

Quick backstory. Group of friend, I fell out with Friend A, tried to make things up but way too much water under that bridge that it was just never the same. Obviously can still be polite and in the same room etc

Friend B (queen B of the group) started to leave me out if things ... her birthday, NYE party.

I bumped into her randomly and she started telling all about her child’s christening. Christening came and went. No invite.

Yesterday was birthday. She text me happy birthday and hoped I was ok.

Aibu to think wtf?

Unsure if relevant, but the only other time she’s contacted me is to ask me to take photos of each room of my new house to show her.

Basically she knew I’d never invite her over for a coffee (after everything) but just wanted to be nosey.

Just ignore it, it doesn’t sound as if she brings anything to your life.

I hope you didn’t take photos of your house for her.

As you are in the same group of friends, I'd try to avoid blanking her completely if possible. Short and non committal is the way forward: 'Thanks, I had a great day', and leave it at that.

Is send back "sorry, who is this?" But I've got PMT.

Send back ' Many thanks for your message am currently at 'fabulous restaurant/hotel'. Had a great time with family and friends. I am sorry but your number is not in my phone anymore, could you let me know who you are. xxx'

Definitely didn’t send her photos, just have done vague response of yeah when I get round to it.

She then messaged me a couple of weeks later to ask again. Bizarre.

I think it slightly kills her as well as you can view the property on google maps. It’s set too far back from the road.

So she actually asked you for more fuel for the gossiping that goes on about you??
Cheeky Fuckery at its best!!

Very weird asking for photos from someone’s house if you aren’t really talking. Some people have no shame though. I’d ignore the text but if feeling bitchy I’d probably say you’re good but who is this? Or don’t even type saying you are good. Just who is this?

Oh I don’t see that group of friends anymore (stayed in touch with 2) but obviously I’m no longer invited to queen b’s events ... and she’s pretty much the only one who ever organises meet ups.

Can you not just reply
‘Thanks, having a great day’

I would reply with one word ..thanks.
Then leave her hanging.

The fact that there is a "queen bee" makes me think they're a bunch of twats

A "Thank you!" Is all that's needed. Or ignore - after all it is your birthday and you are having way too much fun to reply to a "friend" that picks and chooses.
