Tell me I'm being paranoid...

Bit of background firstly - my friend and I have a history of going on holiday at a certain time of year with our kids. I'm married, she's single, and she doesn't really have anyone else to go away with. For various reasons (no one's fault) we didn't go together this year. When I've broached the subject of next year she's been a bit non-committal. So this weekend I was browsing holidays and had a bit of a 'sod it' moment and booked just for me & my daughter for next year, same time of year as we usually go together. Worried about Brexit and what that might do to prices, so keen to lock something in. I didn't mention it to her beforehand as I've booked somewhere a bit more expensive than where we would normally go.

I texted her afterwards telling her and said she was welcome to join us if she wanted, and got nothing back. Not like her not to respond. So now I feel vaguely like I've pissed her off....or am I being paranoid?

If you've already missed one year and she hasn't been bothered, I wouldn't worry about it, it looks like that phase has passed.

Yeah that was kinda my thinking too but it's the fact that she's ignoring me....maybe I'm overthinking things. Thanks for your response.

It doesn't matter if you've pissed her off, you wanted to get a holiday booked and she was non commital.

Your entitled to go ahead as you have done, even if she was family.

I want to do the same and I'm getting no answers off close relatives, so I'll be booking within two months, pre Brexit. Whether i get an answer or don't.

Good on ya for booking
And sorry to hear that your friend is just not that into you (anymore)
Stop worrying about it. Just give her a call. Ask her!
And then you can put it to rest :)

My work colleague (who I'm not allowed to have time off at the same time as) is now throwing her toys out the pram because I've dared to book one week out of the school hols without checking with her first (she's the same grade as me and usually gets the run of the school hols). Feeling a bit got at over this bloody holiday!
