DD phoned me about half an hour ago in tears to say her boyfriend has crashed his car. Fortunately she wasn't in it, and he is completely ok.

He apparently took a corner too fast (only passed a few months ago), bit of damage to the car. Problem is, they are going to the zoo on Monday for breakfast with the big cats (I bought them it for christmas). She phoned zoo and they've said they can't change the date as its too close.

Looked up train ticket prices and they're ridiculous, plus not an easy journey from Northampton. Sure a solution will come up, just not sure what it is yet. Flipping kids.

What do people think about this dilemma please.
I have a friend who is lovely but I've been really off put contacting her because she takes near on 2 weeks to respond to my texts. I texted her 12 days ago just to see how she was going on and I knew when I sent it that she would not reply there and then. Any how today I have had a text saying sorry not been in touch but would I like to go out for tea on Thursday. Don't really know what to say as tbh I'm a little bit annoyed as she knows how I dwell on things like this and it's been playing on my mind wondering if I've done something wrong. But it's always been this way so I concluded I hadn't. Really don't know what to text back. Tia xx

Coach, bus, split tickets for the train?

Northampton to where? Is a mix of bus and train possible?

I'd be telling no, I'm busy. This person sounds like she's a bit take take take and no give.

You don't need any level of toxicity in your life xx

I'd go for the meet-up and at some point I'd explain tactfully that it's a bit unnerving getting such late replies to your texts.

Then monitor the situation. If things improve, all well and good, but if not, then maybe you need to have a think about whether you want to continue the friendship under those conditions.

No need to wonder if you've done something wrong, as you clearly haven't if this is her normal way of behaving. But if late replies are a habit of hers and they cause you difficulty and she won't resolve to do something about it, you might have a happier time without her in your circle of friends. x

Hi cjj...I'm still around...a little down today as I managed to have cross words with DS this morning and I've been dwelling on it too much though out the day.....

Hoping we can sort it when he gets home soon...but I fear he's just going to tell me what I want to hear rather than what's really happening...

I've started to overthink a problem and its leading me down a dark road....I guess we've all been there at some point or other.

No advice on your friend and her text sorry...but I know someone will come along with some wise words for you xx
