SO my friend N organised for us to go down to Durban for next week and I balked at the idea for the following reasons:
1. Durban will be full and the beaches will be crowded.
2. She wants to do self catering which can work out to R200 pp pd and wants to stay until the 5th Jan but I just want a couple of days. Where I would be happy to put up a tent. So I am cheap but this is the premuim season and we booking at last moment so don't want to feel ripped off.
3. I am not that big fan of sitting on a beach reading a book for frigging 5 days. I need to see the place and I have been to South Coast before and check out the place.
Of course I got her to do all the research and pulled out at the last moment so I expect she is extremely pissed off with me. Got an SMS : "Disappearing for a while please feel free 2 c whom ever you choose. Dont mind me. Have a good new year." So passive aggressive.
Sent back : " Thanks for the permission but will be spending it at home hope you find what you looking for enjoy your new year."
Thats the other thing I am not getting from her is that I need her permission to to phone her friends. What is up with that?
The wholepoint of meeting your friends friends is to make new friends.
So got an SMS from other friend T who is not speaking to N about a new year's party at another friend around the corner from me. Said no and then get sms that N mutual Friend H will be there as to say don't worry about N because her friend will be here.
I still feel like going away but don't just want to go because I feel like it but really want to go to enjoy it and the options don't feel right. It is the wrong time of the year to spontantous trips.
