As always, thanks for your invaluable input in to my sitch
Unfortunately, W has had to be rushed in to the hospital. The 'boob' has gone bang, and the infection needs to be treated today. I got a call from W at dinner time (that'll be lunch to those of you not from Yorkshire!) telling me this. W tried to make some arrangements for me to pick up the kids, but it was nonsense, so I told her, not in a smug or arrogant way, what was going to happen, and she accepted it.
My boss has been very understanding, but I can see that it is getting a bit waring, but my kids are number one priority. W met me with her car, SD and the kids. She was very sheepish and couldn't look me in the eye (guilt/embarrassment).
When she'd gone in to the hospital, SD got back in the car and told me some of what has been going off today. Firstly, W has now told her parents and my SIL that she has had a tummy tuck and boob job. She had lied to them and told them she had a hernia operation. Apparently, the shock was palpable, but W cut the convo short with them and is asking SD to do all the talking. I told SD that she shouldn't lie for her Mum as the truth has a funny way of coming out. W has also managed to get herself heavily in debt for the surgery, and is behind in her other bills.
Of course, I headed your advice guys, and didn't do any kind of speech. That was a non starter really, but hey, it was Monday night! What will be will be. SD also told me she was shocked that my best man is coming up at the weekend. Not quite sure why.
Right, kids to bath, me to bath and then to bed!
