Should she replace it? SHE RETURNED IT!

Goodness me. I can’t believe I am back with an update. After starting the small claims process, look what turned up on my doorstep today! My Dyson Airwrap!!!

I hadn’t heard a single peep from my friend since my last updates on the previous thread.

What a shock I got when I got a notification from my ring doorbell this afternoon saying there was person at my front door. I checked and it was my friend sheepishly dropping a bag on my doorstep!

I was at work and knew I wasn’t going to be home for a few more hours. I sent my neighbour a text message asking her to take it in. I couldn’t wait to get home from work to see what she had dropped off 🤣 was it the original? Was it a brand new replacement? Was it the £150 replacement from Facebook?

When I got home and checked it out it appeared to be my original airwrap. I tested it and it worked just fine (so much for the sister spilling the wine!) and I checked the serial number and it definitely is mine!

What an absolute rollercoaster! I wasn’t sure if I should text my friend acknowledging the eventual return of the airwrap or not?

My friend asked if she could borrow my Dyson airwrap for her wedding as money was tight and she couldn’t afford a hairdresser. It was a small wedding...

So those thinking she'd stolen it were right all along!

The unbelievable nerve of that woman!

FluffMagnet · 22/01/2025 19:59

So she just tried to steal it?! Who does this to their friends? Anyway, very pleased for you OP!

catgirl1976 · 22/01/2025 19:59

Bloody hell!

so she had just pinched?

DaringLion · 22/01/2025 19:59

Glad you got it back .Just took a bloody long time .

Onlyhereforthebatshitneighbours · 22/01/2025 19:59

Oops sorry didn't mean to quote first post!

NinaGeiger · 22/01/2025 19:59

Wow! Congratulations! (If that's the appropriate response in this situation?!)

I wonder what on earth her plan was.

KatyaKabanova · 22/01/2025 20:00

How very curious! I'm wondering what the real story was. She certainly created quite the saga.
I suspect she thought you'd let her keep it.
Good result!

Springflowersmakeforbetterhours · 22/01/2025 20:00

What a bloody chancer!!

Weyohweyoh · 22/01/2025 20:00

Cheeky bitch was obviously trying to steal it from you in the first place and the rest was a bunch of lies. I hope she’s firmly an ex friend.

LittleRedRidingHoody · 22/01/2025 20:01

Fucking hell! The cheek of lying so much when she had it in the first place!!

Do you think there's a chance she may have had it repaired?

LordBummenbachsMagnificentBalls · 22/01/2025 20:02

Wow what a sly bitch she is! I would block her at this point, it’s clear she’s no friend if she was trying to steal from you

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 22/01/2025 20:02

I wouldn't message her, no

MotorwayDiva · 22/01/2025 20:02

Wow, glad you got it back, but why not just give it you 3 weeks ago instead of those lies

ASeriesOfTubes · 22/01/2025 20:03

The only disappointing thing about this is the spoiler in the thread title, @Langarg

MJconfessions · 22/01/2025 20:04

Check it thoroughly like are all the attachments there, the filter, the filter cleaner etc. I personally wouldn’t trust the machine if she claimed it is liquid damaged either. I would be tempted to send it to Dyson and proceed to small claims to cover the cost of replacement/repair (which shouldn’t be too expensive)

ForestFox44 · 22/01/2025 20:04

she must feel such an idiot 😅

KenAdams · 22/01/2025 20:05

Omg I knew it! Who does that?!

Moonshine5 · 22/01/2025 20:05

That is a twist!!

Billybagpuss · 22/01/2025 20:05

I am stunned, I honestly had given her the benefit of the doubt and thought she’d broken it!!!

are you going to text? Something along the lines of ‘wtf you thieving bitch’. I’m sure mn can come up with something more eloquent

PMBiscut · 22/01/2025 20:05

Can you message her and ask for receipt for the repair in case it needs repairing again and see what she says?

Cherrysoup · 22/01/2025 20:06

I wouldn’t message her, it would give her reassurance that you have it back. Really dumb to leave it on the doorstep. So all this because she basically wanted to keep it! Bloody hell, cf! Is this what your friendship was worth? 😢 Totally depressing.

DreamW3aver · 22/01/2025 20:07

Wow, quite the turn up for the books, good news though

ThinWomansBrain · 22/01/2025 20:07

Print out all the threads and mail them to her😂
Just in case she's not on mn

Langarg · 22/01/2025 20:07

Forgot to attach the image of my returned goods!!! Off to wash and style my hair for the first time in over a month! (It’s been washed of course 🤣)

Good suggestion re checking it thoroughly and potentially sending to Dyson @MJconfessions will look in to this.

Sorry for the spoiler @ASeriesOfTubes 🤣

Should she replace it? SHE RETURNED IT!

I am delighted you got it back but disgusted at your “friend” trying to steal it in the first place. Bitch.
