Well, I survived the weekend

[meriad]

and for the sake of the person who organised it all (N) I'm very glad I went. When I arrived just after 12.30 on the Saturday she was nearly in tears. I think it was a group of 8 or 9 that were down for the Friday night already and N said she ended up cooking the dinner and breakfast the next morning for everyone and did all the cleaning up and apparently not a single person had offered to help with anything, esp in the evening. M (the hen) apparently noticed and had a word with her friends so some (some more willing than others) mucked in a bit in the morning but still... then not helped that apparently three of the girls got really drunk and stayed up until 4am and proceeded to wake nearly everyone in the house when they went to bed

I just don't get some people. One of them in particular was so astoundingly rude - because of her over excess on the Friday evening she ended up going to bed really early on the Saturday evening (which was meant to be the main event) and then come the next morning after everything had been cleaned away and put away and the house nearly ready for us all to leave (just a few mugs still in use to be washed); she toodles down with an armful of mugs, glasses and plates - dumps them on the counter by the basin and walks off.

If it wasn't for the fact that I know it would have caused quite a bit of upset, esp for M and N, I'd have said something, but I didn't. As they say sometimes - choose your battles. One of the other friends noticed how livid I was and thankfully jumped up and washed up.... gggrrrrrrrrrr There really are not many people I don't like but this one, thankfully she's not part of a circle of friends I'll ever see again


ho hummm. Let's just say I'm glad it's all over

Glad you survived Ria but have to say...not my cup of tea at all.

[saundra]

ho dear hope the wedding goes better
it sounds like an experience you would rather forget

Trust me Ally, not an experience I'm desperate to repeat in any hurry!


Saundra - the wedding is taking place in South Africa so everything will be totally catered for and at that point the parents and three other bridesmaids will be taking over anyway. I'm thankfully not invited to the wedding so won't have to see any of these people from the hen weekend again, unless I want to

[saundra]

it would be a long way to go to be dissapointed
never mind

Ria, you will go down as a supportive friend and they are the ones who are valued over the fair-weather types.

It is good to hear that you (& M & N) survived it with your sensibilities intact.

[tonicha]

Oh dear

Some people just do not know how to behave. I know getting piddled is supposed to be some peoples idea of fun, on hen and stag nights but not to the detriment of any-one or every-one else. And especially to bride to be

Could have been worse, I suppose. Glad it's all over now for you xx

[JoM]

Glad you survived Ria!!

[Diflower]

Oh dear - I think you did well to keep your mouth shut x

[debih]

Glad you got through it. I was thinking about you and wondering how it was going all weekend.
