Quick silly one but not sure what to do.

Friend has had a hard time so I've sent them a cream tea type surprise treat. Left the card anonymous but she finds it difficult to receive without reciprocating and I wanted her to have something just for her with no strings, to cheer her up.

She posts it on social media, another Friend (I don't know) comments, saying enjoy, glad you like, you deserve it type thing

My friend says ahhhh was it you, youre amazing

Other friend says wink wink it's anonymous so I guess you'll never know

Now, to me there alluding it was then. Taking all the bloody credit. I know I didn't send it for credit or even thanks but I'm a little pissed off!

On the Facebook post, the ones she is tagged In, loads of people have commented

"What a lovely gesture"

"How lovely of your friend"

Etc etc

And cheeky cow has love hearted all those comments

I mean it's like a comedy sketch at this point

That's cinched it - she knows what she's doing

MumofTwins234 · 22/04/2023 12:59

Oh I'd have to comment on the FB post - something like "Oh wow CheekyCow did you send one as well as the one I sent?" Ask her directly so she's forced to either lie or deny.

DrFoxtrot · 22/04/2023 12:59

If I was your friend, I would be tempted to not mention the cream tea at all at work and wait for it to be mentioned by her/ someone else ...and then say 'but you didn't send it' with a confused face.

wherethecityis · 22/04/2023 13:00

This happened to me! Friend posted on facebook to ask which of her lovely friends was responsible and someone wrote "it might have been me ;-)". Yeah, it might have been, but it wasn't was it, ya cheeky cow?!
I wasn't going to out myself but at that point I posted a video of my newly walking toddler waddling up to her door and placing said gift down. Wish I'd had more fun and dragged it out now though!

Cheeky cow is a work friend.

My friend is saying she'll take a bunch of flowers in on Monday for her, see what she does Grin

If she does, please update ! 😁

Monstersinked · 22/04/2023 13:01

I'm telling friend all the funny ideas from here.

She says we've cheered her up no end.

Maybe I should write a thank you card to cheeky cow

Placemarking coz this is hilarious 😂

AliceOlive · 22/04/2023 13:01

Send her an anonymous one with a note that says “She’s knows it wasn’t you!”

Tulipsemerging · 22/04/2023 13:01

LimeCheesecake · 22/04/2023 11:03

Ooh, not good. If it was me, I’d contact my friend and say “I hope you liked the cream tea, I wanted to send you a surprise.” Don’t reference that other person claimed it or anything public, let your friend work it out for themselves.

This

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/04/2023 13:03

Glad you friend knows it was you

Wonder how long cff (cheeky fucker Friend) will claim its her

Tinysoxx · 22/04/2023 13:03

The gift that keeps on giving!

Thebigblueballoon · 22/04/2023 13:04

Oooh yeah. Send the anonymous note to her workplace OP, get it in the post today! 😂

Wintersgirl · 22/04/2023 13:04

Cheeky cow, she's taking it too far now with the heart emojis, she could have knocked this on the head the very minute your friend suggested she could have been the secret benefactor but to actually carry on at this point is quite shameless, she's enjoying the kudos and attention that being generous brings. I would have to say something.

Bubblegumtea · 22/04/2023 13:05

This is the funniest thing I've ever read on mumsnet lol. It's borderline disturbing ( but pure comedy ) that she would claim it! Surely she must be expecting someone to comment anyway saying it wasn't from her and was from them, she's lucky you're being so nice about it Op!

Mummyratbag · 22/04/2023 13:06

She needs to post - mystery solved...many thanks to my dearest friend Monstersinked, I had an inkling it was you as you have form 😍

Monstersinked · 22/04/2023 13:06

If the other person takes the credit for the gift you’ll get your wish and remain anonymous.
You can then give your friend other gifts and never be suspected as the donor.

She will probably have the front to Google and give the first name she sees. Friend can then say “how strange! My cream tea didn’t come from there!”
