Why does that happen?

I thought I had made a really good friend when our children were at school together and we were quite close for a long time. Then she really let me down and I have not seen her for years.

Yesterday, we had DGS2 and DGD3 for the day and I met DD at the farm shop halfway between us to hand them back. On the way DGD was sick.

After I had handed them over, feeling and looking like the back end of a tram smash and probably smelling of sick, I went into the shop as usual to buy a few things and the first thing I saw was my exfriend, dressed up to the nines, hair beautifully done and definitely not smelling of sick, sipping tea with an equally elegant friend.

Why, just why? confused

Ah - but you are living REAL life - infinitely preferable to the coiffed tea-sipping brigade. I know which I prefer!

Actually, you are right, Lucky. Thank you!

She has 4 children and they all live 'very successful' lives, or so I'm told, but are so busy they rarely have time to come back to Leicestershire!

Kittylester, it's called Murphy's Law, (AKA S**d's law)

Murphys Law. eg My house will be spotless and tidy for days and no visitors. As soon as I have an off/ lazy day and the house is a mess an unexpected visitor arrives!

Never mind. She's nothing to you now ?
