SteveMcGarrettsBudgieSmugglers · 29/05/2018 14:03

I want to know if she had the surgery and any news

user1483875094 · 29/05/2018 16:41

OP surely you have heard "something" on the grape-vine by now.???

Jackreacherswife · 30/05/2018 09:23

So blatantly curious about the outcome of this.

Lizzie48 · 30/05/2018 09:30

I think the OP has given up on this thread, which is a pity, but probably means that it's all blown over.

LexieLulu · 30/05/2018 11:09

@Welshgal1 if you tag OP they get an email.

I don't see things all the time unless I'm tagged

Welshgal1 · 30/05/2018 22:36

Sorry, been a whirlwind few weeks. Been on here but more looking at the ttc forums. No updates I'm afraid but it has been the last thing on my mind and I've not really looked into it. So distracted.

OP posts:
Welshgal1 · 30/05/2018 22:37

Fingers crossed OP Thanks

Ravenesque · 31/05/2018 15:39

I really, really hope so @Welshgal1. I'll keep all digits crossed for you. x

Welshgal1 · 31/05/2018 17:54

Well... Titzilla was true to her word. I've been served!

Only joking, got my DSIL to have a peek and lots of heartbroken statuses about how she has years of loan repayments for a surgery she never had. How she's trying to claim the money back as there's no way anyone can be forced into repaying a debt they didn't benefit from. That's what you getting for being a massive tit wanting massive tits.

OP posts:
Clutterbugsmum · 31/05/2018 18:08

Well if she not had the surgery she has the money to pay straight back, there shouldn't be an issue with bank.

DPotter · 31/05/2018 18:11

Many plastic surgery clinics offer private financing at higher rates than a bank. She'll have had to had paid upfront (excuse the pun) for her operation and they take no prisoners for cancellations, although I would have thought the date could have been pushed back.

FiestaThenSiesta · 31/05/2018 18:16

Don’t believe that when she told the surgery she had no one to accompany her and begged them to reschedule/refund that at that point they didn’t suggest a nurse/carer to hire for her.

DoneDisappeared · 02/06/2018 07:43

I can't believe that she didn't just get another loan to pay for after care and transport back home! What a tit!Wink

Marmablade · 02/06/2018 07:46

The solution to this was never cancelling and losing her money. She's doing that to punish you, as if it's your responsibility.

Rescheduling
Getting another chaperone
Paying someone to accompany her

There were other options! I hope you don't feel guilty.

AlmostAJillSandwich · 02/06/2018 08:14

She's been a complete bitch, cheeky beyond belief, and said some truly awful, unforgivable things.

BUT

In a way, i do feel a little bit of sympathy for her. Cosmetic surgery is extreme, it's literally having your body cut open. The anesthetic to put you to sleep is a risk in itself, you risk all sorts of complications including infection, disfigurement, in very rare cases even things like paralysis, limb loss and death.
It takes a very unhappy person to weigh all that up and decide it is still worth it to go ahead and do it. Even if she doesn't have body dysmorphia, you can still be genuinely depressed and emotionally distressed by your physical appearance. (I speak from experience, i have congenital symmastia, and if i could afford the OP i'd seriously consider it)

She has effectively lost £13,000 of money that does not belong to her, and has nothing to show for it. Whether she tried to save up first or not i dont know, but she sounds pretty desperate to have saddled herself with that much debt all in one go. She is now going to spend however many years it takes her to pay it off, scrimping, saving, cutting back on luxuries, month in, month out to clear the debt, including however much ends up getting added on in interest.

She is no doubt heartbroken, not just about the money but that she went through all of this for nothing. Working herself up to deciding to go for it, applying for a loan and the mini elation she would have felt when she got approved. Booking it all in, being all set to go, then a week or so prior it all comes tumbling down over a misunderstanding/oversight. Cheeky to want the OP to pay half of the travel and hotel, but in her mind OP was going too so it seemed fair to split. She pushed when she should have folded, and it left her up shit creek without a paddle as she had no other option, and possibly/probably couldn't afford any other loan to hire someone, and as OP stated had no friends or family who could go in her place.
She said some of the most awful things a person can say in her panic/desperation to persuade/manipulate/scare OP to still agree to go, i do NOT defend those things what so ever and i understand OP's decision completely to no longer go along, i wouldn't have either.

But i just can't bring myself to be gleeful that she didn't find a solution and is now 13 grand plus several more on top in interest in the hole with no "fix" for her body insecurities, plus all the extra damage this has likely done to her mental health.

Best wishes to you Welsh with your journey of TTC, i really hope it works out for you.

Lizzie48 · 02/06/2018 09:28

Yes, I expect she really is heartbroken and being and being 13k in debt is an awful situation to be in. But I can't quite bring myself to feel sorry for her, as she brought it on herself. She shot herself in the foot by not being straight with her about why she needed her to come. The OP was under the impression that it was just so that she wouldn't have to go by public transport. Then she acted all entitled when the OP stood up to her, ending the friendship and threatening to sue her. She burned her bridges basically.

Gemini69 · 02/06/2018 11:33

she was a nasty lass OP Flowers

Welshgal1 · 02/06/2018 11:35

For what it's worth, I'm absolutely mortified if it's true that she's 13k in debt with nothing to show for it. I don't wish that on anyone even people who wish infertility on me. I'm not totally heartless, but who knows what the truth is and I'm not letting myself feel guilty as I would happily of helped her if she had been fair about it all.

OP posts:
smurfit · 02/06/2018 11:52

If she has lost the money, it's her own fault. You didn't do anything wrong here and it isn't your responsibility to manage her finances or surgeries. If she hadn't dropped the expectation you'll pay your own way to do her a fairly major favour on you so last minute, she would have had plenty of time to find an alternative.

Also, she blatantly lied to you by telling you public transport was her alternative (when clearly it was never an option and the whole thing was a con).

I wouldn't wish that debt on anyone but this really is her own fault.
