My gut feeling is W has been contacted by OP (phone or txt)don't think it's anymore than that, and shes just kinda lashing out at people, maybe it caught her off guard. I think W is upset about the coats and the rest of stuff she is ranting about is just collateral damage.
Regarding the hols, W and D7 have just spent 7 weeks staying at MIL's and D is very disorientated and upset at not being in her own house. And now if W and I dissapear for a long weekend we both thought this would be too much for her. D7 is almost like my shadow when I'm around, and misses me when I'm not, so as I've said the last few weeks havn't been good for he so I'm ok to take her with us.
