Hey There ok i know this girl we text quite often and sometimes she gets on my nevous
she texts just to tell you what has bought what she intends to buy and tbh it just seems like its coming accross as bragging. that shes bought her kids laptop each aged 5 and 6 btw that shes booked a holiday for her and a seprate hoilday for her in laws?
Just things like that it seems like all she goes on about is how much money she has what shes buying what shes bought ect ect makes me wonder how she can afford all that.
Also what got my up nose is she was talking about mothers day and i said i dont see my mum to which he reply was aw thats a shame well for mothers day im gonna buy my mum this HELOOOOO talk about being insensitive? sorry just ranting lol x

I wouldn't be annoyed, I'd just think that she was incredibly shallow and wonder why she was my friend.

diddl · 09/01/2010 17:58

Wouldn´t stay in contact with anyone who annoyed me tbh.

Teenytiny · 09/01/2010 17:58

? and she is your friend ?

maristella · 09/01/2010 18:01

shallow = materialistic, only interested in this that have a monetary value.
when she texts you telling you what she's bought, tell her you've just bought 4 pints of semi skimmed

Teenytiny · 09/01/2010 18:02

I wouldnt bother with her. She needs to grow up.

I dont see my mum anymore, so know mothers day can be a bit

AKMD · 09/01/2010 18:04

What maristella said. Who cares or needs to know what someone else has bought and how much it cost? Especially all the time.

MrsSawdust · 09/01/2010 18:05

Yes she sounds rather materialistic. I wouldn't choose to be friends with someone who measured themselves by that standard, or who was so insensitive to my feelings. Are you sure you want to stay friends with her?

juneybean · 09/01/2010 18:05

She sounsd like a twat.

OneOf8 · 09/01/2010 18:08

A friend of mine that is like this, when I called her on it (massive barney!) turns out she felt she had to compete with me!

End of that tail is she is the same (makes her feel good/better) and I am appreciative of what I do have.

However, other people are just insensitive and most do not mean harm - just don't think.

Teenytiny · 09/01/2010 18:09

Yes tbh i do feel sometimes shes abit insensitive. like the thing about mothers day and she keeps bragging about her money when me and my other half are having some problems right now (not with each other) i would do another thread about that but dont wanna look like a moan lol xx

The mother's day thing sounds a bit off, but telling you she's buying a laptop and booking a holiday is definitely not unreasonable.

YABU to let it bother you so much.

Teenytiny · 09/01/2010 18:12

Its just her texting me just to tell me what shes bought..who does that lol?

OneOf8 · 09/01/2010 18:15

Could be worse - could be a text inviting you round to look at what she has brought!

spanky2 · 09/01/2010 18:27

It could be worse she could offer you clothes that she bought for when she was 5 months pregnant because 'you're a size 14 aren't you.' Then say later ' I never want to be that big again!' That's my nice friend!

Coldhands · 09/01/2010 20:32

I've decided that life is too short for crap 'friends' like this. Unless I relly like them and want to spend time with them now, I just don't bother anymore. I wasted so much time with so called friends that now I concentrate on the good ones I have.

And yes it would annoy me, big time if thats all she was texting about. I have a cousin who turns evry single story you say into something about her (not quite the same as your situation). I cannot say a thing about my DS without it being a story about her DPs twin nieces or something, or her hairdressing or the latest bag she has bought. Things like that irritate the hell out of me and I just avoid her. Stop replying to your friends texts, maybe she will get the hint.
