welcome to the thread jenny & kim

I wanted to get something off my chest that has been bothering me a bit. A couple of weeks ago it was godson's birthday. Now bearing in mind his mum and I have been good friends for about 18 years. We are godparents to both her 2 and they are godparents to our 2 children. We always invite each others children to the parties. Last year we didn't have a party for either of our children due to financial difficulties. Anyway I spoke to her just before his birthday, and she told me that her son was not having a party. She then went into detail abou what else they were doing instead of a party. I rushed his present over the day before his birthday so that he had it on the day. The day of his birthday I went onto facebook to write him a message, only to see several people had put messages telling her that they hoped he enjoyed his party and that their sons/daughters had.

I feel absolutely gutted, not that my kids weren't invited, but the fact that she has gone to such lengths to lie about it. We have known each other long enough for her to know that if my kids weren't invited due to numers or whatever I wouldn't have minded, but i cant stand lies. A couple of weeks have passed and she hasn't even rung to say thankyou for the present. I think she must know what I have read on her page, as I posted my message on there.

I dont know what to do, I dont feel I can ring her as I am still too upset, I wondered whether to send an e-mail or text but for the first time in my life I dont know what to say. What do you ladies think? I expect If I dont ring, she will just call in a few weeks and pretend it never happened.

p.s sorry for the rant

Twinkle, don't apologise for the rant! I really don't know what to suggest though. I'm not one for confrontation at all, I'm the kind of person to just get in touch again in a few weeks and pretend nothing has happened, sorry I can't be of more help. What a horrible feeling though, I understand what you must be going though, it just makes it worse when you think you are so close to someone like that. She must feel guilty that'll be why she hasn't been in touch.

Ddraig nice to see you again. Glad you had a lovely birthday, shame about the extra expenditure though

Thats not so nice Twinkle. I would write out an email which says everything you want to say. Then save it, leave it a few days and then go back to it. If you still feel the same, send it, if not change it. Then it won't be a hurt-driven rant, but a considered response.

Hope you get it resolved.

Hello Kirsty Settle yourself in hun and keep us updated on your progress. You've probably read the challenges so have a go at them. Some of us are doing ebay, others doovous, pick whichever you prefer or just get yourself used to a few survey sites then start the new challenge with us in March. If you have any questions or want referring anywhere just ask any of us! (same to you Kim and Jenny!)

Twinkle, I agree with what Pinkfluffybabe has just put. I think you need to say something or it could end up niggling away at you, especially if she contacts you in a few weeks like nothing is wrong, as it will seem too late to say anything then.

Hi jenny, kim and kirsty welcome to the site.
twinklelittlestar I have to agree with pink, there is nothing worse than going off a rant and then wishing you hadn't. Having said that I do think your friend is out of line lying to you.

No moneymaking for me for a few days, we had oh Grandads funeral yesterday which was really tough but just what he wanted so lovely in that respect. Feel drained today after it all and have had no motivation to do much at all. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel more like it and can get back on track.

Take care all
Jayne xx

Hi, Twinklelittlestar, sorry to hear about your friends lies. That's really horrible. I think that what Pinkfluffybabe said is probably good advice. I can't think of anything helpful to say other than that. Esther x

It is indeed me you are following Tan .

So I got all excited because I managed to complete a TL survey without being screened out... However at the end it just went to a thank you for completin the survey and di not direct me back to TL. Is it suposed tp? I know it does on VO. I cant see any mention of this survey being completed on my profile now, does it take a while to track?
