Should she replace it? Part 2

[Langarg]

Starting the new thread ahead of hopefully having an update soon!

I have been weak and bought an airwrap!

@Tiredmum2kids1dog They'll probably sell out soon.

I actually had to look it up when I first read the post!

Looks good, but I'm so low maintenance these days. If my hair gets dried with a hair dryer, it's a miracle.

10 minute bath without my toddler screaming mum is a win

I'm hoping it will do wonders for my hair!

Tell her to add some shine back into her wedding and buy you a shiny new air wrap 😂

Dyson should give OP a freebie for all the free promotion. Unless ...😎

I want one and I really don't bother much with my appearance.

I'm so tempted, you can get them for £400 some places!

Hope you get it back - either way you need to knock her off your Christmas card list.

Eagerly awaiting more!

Don't tell me that this has all been a Dyson promo?!

Love that they've found an 'arguing women' photo where one has styled hair and the other hasn't!

I hate it when this happens! The Mail gets hold of it, the OP freaks out and gets the thread taken down and then we never get to know the resolution!

She’ll 100% find it after her trip tomorrow.

I think she planned to sell it or indeed sold it to pay for the wedding. I think she expected you to tell her not to worry about it or maybe not ask for it back.

I hope you get yours/a replacement soon.

Called it.

Has she posted photos of herself from last night? Did her hair look particularly amazing? I'm going to be kind and go with the PPs who suggested she was planning to miraculously 'find' it after she'd used it for NYE primping.

Mumsnet are promoting a wet dry floor cleaner on this site, OP. Maybe attach the details for your friend!

That makes it too easy for the CF to choose the ending of the friendship and avoid having to communicate further about returning/replacing the Airwrap and then telling everyone that the end of the friendship was down to OP.

As others have said being insistent but calm at this point and giving no ultimatums gives the best chance of seeing the Airwrap - let her get on with panicking about it for the next day or so.

She really thought OP would be a pushover who would either not ask for the airwrap to be returned or give up asking very quickly. If it had been stolen or accidentally broken she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of this over-detailed elaborate tale. As my granny used to say "what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive". She's created such a tangle she has tainted her own wedding, ballsed up a friendship and worst of all ended up in the DM.

She is an arsehole and is trying to make you feel guilty.

Taken the shine of her wedding my arse! She is an absolutely cheeky cow!

You should reply saying it will be left in 2024 once she puts her hand in her pocket and forks out for a brand new device for you.

I think the OP doesn’t care as she knew the CF’r is a keen mumsnetter. And why should she care. Her ‘friend’ is anything but and deserves to be outed as a horrendous human being

While we're all waiting on the update, I have a shark hairwrap, i love my hair when i use it, very big and bouncy, 2 hours later its like i never used it, hair flat as anything, any tips on how to keep the curl in, i use hairspray.

Unless the post is made up by a journo

I'm not getting that vibe personally...

it's not as a thank you. it's to make sure she doesn't get fobbed off with anything other than a new replacement, and then after that, well, the friendship is probably gone now, and neither really wants to carry on. it's not so much a thank you as a way to increase the likelihood of actually getting a good outcome before cutting off future contact.

if feelings are strong enough, maybe even just get the replacement first, and say, right. thanks for sorting that. I don't want lunch, I'm going home.

Yes, I was just reading snippets out to DH and he said "maybe Dyson will give her one".

exactly. I have no doubt at all that if she orders it herself, it's going to be a refurb or knockoff. if she won't transfer the money, this is the best way to make sure you're actually getting the genuine article in replacement.
it absolutely would stick in my throat to play nicey nicey, but sometimes that's what it takes to get what you want.
once you've got a genuine, new replacement, no contact.
