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!

Aw OP at least its cheered up your friend. I am glad its all worked out and your friend saw the funny side.

Wintersgirl · 22/04/2023 13:10

Guys, someone out there is doing gods work

SOMEONE HAS TAGGED CHEEKY COW AND ASKED FOR THE DETAILS

I bet it's a mumsnetter 👀

toddlermom99 · 22/04/2023 13:11

This is brilliant 😁😁 I can't believe the nerve of some people!

thecoperope · 22/04/2023 13:11

amazing 👏

Jk8 · 22/04/2023 13:12

🤣 brilliant but just comment underneath "thanks for the laugh" & im sure she'll think its odd enough to think it might not be her

ThisIsUncool · 22/04/2023 13:12

If she doesn't own up now, she deserves everything you and your friend have been imagining. 😀

🙊this thread 😂

Cheeky Cow is probably panicking and regretting that she didn't say something sooner.

It's akin to forgetting someone's name as soon as they tell you but the longer you wait to ask them again the more awkward it becomes to ask them....

Exactly this, she's had plenty of opportunities to say it wasn't her but chose not to.

If it's a mnetter asking for the details - top work 👌

RoseGoldEagle · 22/04/2023 13:14

You think she’d realise that the real person that sent it would be on the friend’s fb page too!

Rooroobear · 22/04/2023 13:15

You need to comment on the new tagged post saying where YOU got it from 😂😂

honeyrider · 22/04/2023 13:16

This is hilarious, the gift that keeps on giving.

Who knew that the gift to cheer up your friend would become secondary to the hilarious cheekiness of her colleague's facebook posts. 😂

AliceOlive · 22/04/2023 13:16

I would consider posting now, “I’d love the details, too! What a sweet idea!”

Jumbojade · 22/04/2023 13:16

Monstersinked · 22/04/2023 11:13

Oh but I like this. Maybe I'll do this

Yes really like that one too, I definitely wouldn’t let the CF get away with it. I would definitely call her out, so she hopefully doesn’t pull the same trick again.

Well they'll get on if it is!

jeffgoldblum · 22/04/2023 13:17

I'd be tempted to reply' yes tell me where did I get this from!' 🤣

Nineandahalfonabadday · 22/04/2023 13:17

Can your friend post something along the lines of "just found out that it was my lovely friend Monstersinked who sent me that very thoughtful gift. I should have known she'd do something like that!"

IHateLegDay · 22/04/2023 13:17

This, just an innocent answer "I ordered it from so&so, they've lots of lovely choices x" or similar, ending with with a ☺️ and then sit back...

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

Dear Cheeky Cow,

You tried to take the credit for my lovely scones and jam,
But now I’ve told our friend about your sneaky little scam,
Yet I say “thank you” for the laughs - we’ve had a total scream
While we’ve sat and gorged ourselves on MY fucking clotted cream.

No love or kisses,
Monster

Monstersinked · 22/04/2023 13:20

So the cream team came from a local cafe that we all follow, and there packaging is clearly marked

So another friend tagged the cafe and said "I think they're from here "

The cafes only gone and bloody popped up in the comments with a link to their page saying; you can get them here smiley face

I’m on my own this afternoon, DS has gone to Stamford Bridge , with a dental abscess making me look half chipmunk/half middle aged menopausal woman. At least the chipmunk doesn’t have the big crease and wrinkles. The half closed puff eye is a bummer though. This thread has cheered me right up.
im hoping for a Julia Davis swerve into some dark dark territory but anyway this goes I’m here for it

Where are the MN mug emojis?
