have a 15yr friendship with v good friend who's celebrating their birthday again in a restaurant (have a grudge about paying for myself, sorry, but this make me wince whenever i get asked. had very bad expensive BD dinner from her when she first did this!) and this time ican't afford to go,even tho' i made half-hearted gestures about agreeing to it.i'm already having money probs to pay for my family's kids Xmas pressies,let alone paying for a £20+ meal
feeling guilty that she's only inviting one other good friend to come along,as well as her partner for this dinner.altho there are less 'strong' friends to call upon,i feel i 'owe' her my presence there. i can bake her a cake as recompense for my cancellation as i know she'll appreciate someone's gone thru the effort of making one(she's also loved baking cakes for ppl but they're never reciprocated).btw, we've only just made up after a v.bad patch in April(i didn;t speak for 4mths on my part,+slowly we gettin back to our ole selves)
