Horrible horrible present mix up involving sex toys. I have to go back in an hour.

I just met my best friend for a coffee, to give her her 30th Birthday present before she goes off for a childfree sexfest week in Mauritius with her DH as a 30th Birthday present Envy. I got her a pair of very naughty Agent Provocateur, knickers, karma sutra guide, hand cuffs, a feather boa, and this chocolatey lube stuff .I hasten to add this was intended as a joke, I actually got her a day at a spa. She unwrapped a boys top from Zara Kids, a small puzzle and a power ranger action doll thingy.

This means the 4 year old boy whose party my DT'S are at has unwrapped her present. Shock Shock Shock Shock Shock. I know for a fact it has been opened as there had been a small mix up with times, and they had to wait 10 minutes to be allowed into the soft play, and so when I was leaving the birthday boy's mum was calling them over to open presents to pass the time.

WHY did I use identical wrapping paper? But more importantly what do I do when I go to fetch them in an hour? Even worse, the whole of their nursery room was invited, plus a few other friends, the majority of which are there. Doubly doubly worse, I was the only mum/nanny to leave, so they will all know.

HELP

Christ on a bike. Can't stop laughing, but at the same time, I feel your pain.

Would phone a mutual friend if I were you to get her number, and text rather than call. Don't worry, presents usually get opened after the kids have all gone home. Any kids there probably wouldn't have understood the significance of hardly any of it!! (hopefully!)

Oh dear OP, I was hoping for your sake you had started both threads as a joke.

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:08

ah, ok. So other thread is a joke, but this is sadly but hysterically genuine.

Sorry, Bambi.

bambiandthumper · 04/01/2011 15:08

Friend is back with the flowers and wrapping paper. She also got me a card to give to the mother.

What on earth do I put in it?

Auntyfash...LOL...very good timing there!

droves · 04/01/2011 15:09

I can almost feel the ops rising panic.

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:10

Auntyfash is not someone NCing as a joke. She has posted before.

Curiousmama · 04/01/2011 15:11

MmeL you didn't seriously think the other thread was true? Hmm Am on the fence with this one but the other was an obvious piss take.

Bumperlicious · 04/01/2011 15:12

I hate to do this but I am just marking my place for the fall out Grin

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:12

Curious
I read the other one first, so thought it was genuine.

AuntyFash has been posting for a while so either she is someone else posting that thread for a laugh and did not NC. Or she is genuinely the other poster.

KalokiMallow · 04/01/2011 15:14

MmeLindt AuntyFash actually posted
"what other thread? whistles innocently"

So I think we can safely assume the other thread is a joke.

HarkTheTragicalyHipHeraldAngel · 04/01/2011 15:14

The other thread is a joke, It was started after this one

MmeLindt · 04/01/2011 15:14

Ok. I did not see that.

Very good, carry on AuntieF.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 04/01/2011 15:15

I sooo wanted it to be true.

Curiousmama · 04/01/2011 15:15

yes she is having a laugh MmeLindt.

Tee2072 · 04/01/2011 15:15

Right I have written the card:

Dear XXXXXX,

So sorry for the present mix up. It was completely genuine, and I am so embarrassed! Thank you so much for inviting the DT's to PFB's party, they will have had a lovely time, and I hope PFB did too. I hope PFB enjoys his real presents, and see you next week.

Love from,
Bambi
