I think she may cancel the Spa Day now as we were going with the other girl that punched her!
I know I should just forgive and put it to one side, but she really hurt my feelings and actually scared me as she was so agressive. It just still feels very raw at the moment I think.
I knew she had a terrible temper when she drinks as she gets into terrible arguments with her boyfriend, but she has never turned on her friends before.
She does have some issues and I'm sure once I have calmed down I will feel more sympathetic towards her. It would be better if I wasn't seeing her so soon, but I want to return her money to her immediately as I hate money being any issue between friends.
I don't want to discuss it at lunchtime and will try to just move on as life is too short.
I will just be much more wary of her in the future I think.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Oh dear, I guess I would just go round, listen to what she has to say (if she mentions it) and try very gently to tell her that she and alcohol don't seem to get on too well and while your friend probably shouldn't have punched her in the face thats not your fault - thats for them to sort.
And you know what.................no matter how we try to pre-empt conversations, they always take a different turn

There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

Well in that case if it comes up just be assertive and say like red said you didnt punch her and you are not going to play go between.... tbh who wants a friend who is violent towards you .... dont know if the punch was teh right motive but then i wasnt there .... awkward all round i suppose :S eeekI AM A MONEY MAGNET, THEY ARE MAKING MORE MONEY FOR ME AS WE SPEAK:pMIKES MOB, DFW NERD 1071, DFW LHS 132!MIRACLES HAPPEN I'VE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES.

That sounds like a horrid ending to your birthday
I hope it all works out for the best in the end! She does sound a little crazy though...
Good luck

The visit with my friend went ok yesterday. It was very awkward but we spoke about it a little and I gave her a hug when I left. I am starting to soften towards her and I'm sure that with a bit of time it can all be forgotten.
63p paid off the Lloyds card today. July has been an expensive month, so have only managed to clear £163.76 worth of debt.
Only 8 more sleeps until my holiday when the most energetic thing I intend to do is walk from the sun lounger to the sea and back again! Its 30 degrees in Greece today, I can't wait to cook myself!LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Glad it went okay with the friend. I wish I had a holiday to look forward too - as it turns out I don't think I'll get another holiday this year. Still, something to look forward too next year Adam's diary - My Debt Diary - The Challenge | LBM May 2010 with £23,343.35 | £16,141.46 to go...
