Will she shut up if I send her a gift card?

This.

I wonder what else is in that make up bag?


why should she offer to replace the cost? OP didn't lose it, the friend did.


The friend didn't "lose" it, she left it by accident and trusted that the friend would be responsible enough to return it.


Which the friend would have, if she'd found it.

And to PP above me here, I mentioned that I could not have used up her make up because the other PP insinuated I used up my friend's stuff.

I had help packing so I was not the one packing the guest room or the bathroom she used.

Anyway, next time she calls I'll say I'm done unpacking and didn't find it and ask her to look elsewhere.


OK, that is relevant information, OP. Now it makes sense that you don't know if her bag was there or not. You should have said so in the first place!

Maybe she stopped somewhere on her way home and lost it on her way home? Like a restroom to freshen up, airport/train station or a place like that.
That would explain that she thinks it's still at OP's house when it's not.

My guess is that OP's friend left her bridal bouquet in that makeup bag......

I believe the PP about the $700... I'm a nanny and even my makeup bag to replace would be at least $400 with all the MAC brushes and products. Those brushes last forever!!! I couldn't afford to replace everything at once.

I'm still not convinced that OP didn't know one way or another the very day that her friend left. Think about it, don't you strip the sheets off the bed, or wipe down the bathroom, or just do a once over right after a guest leaves? Even if you were traveling the very next day wouldn't it be there when you got back? Or if someone else cleans your house or packs your stuff would you ask them, hey did you see the make up bag? It's been a YEAR and you haven't told her anything. I'd be pissed. What, do you live in the louvre and haven't been to half the rooms in your house yet? Your lazy and a bad friend and I don't think she had drugs in it, I bet it's just expensive stuff she wants back and if and when she gets an answer from you I promise she'll drop you like a hot potato. Your in the wrong OP, not the friend.

For the love of God already, just go unpack the box from your guest room!!! I'm assuming the boxes got labeled at least by room when they were packed. If someone was haunting me that much I think I could have found an hour during the 8760 hrs. in a year and looked for the stupid bag.

In the meantime, purely out of curiosity, I'd ask her "Gee, you're so intent on this bag. What's so important about it?" and see if she's nervously hiding something.

I agree with the PP. Aren't the boxes labeled? You don't even have to unpack them, just rummage through the ones from the guest room and see if the bag is in there. If that's truly too much for you right now, ask your DH or a friend to do it. It shouldn't be that hard.

I mean, she calls, presumably a day or two after leaving your house and says it's missing. Don't you immediately go and look for it and call and let her know that it is or isnt there? I think you kept stand used her stuff and she's pissed. Perhaps you owe her a gift card?


I agree. You say you "never really found it." You found it and used it. Send her a gift card.

You have to be joking. There's no way.

I've said several times I can't wear make up!

And I told her I didn't find it. I packed a few boxes and didn't see it. I also searched through the boxes I unpaked and didn't find it. I told her exactly that. All I have left is my office and some kitchen stuff and I bet it's not there. I told her so but she keeps calling.

We Packed and labeled based on the rooms in the new house so there's no "guest room" box. I was very sorry for her in the beginning but now I'm annoyed. She's very clumsy and forgetful. I believe she left it somewhere else and just can't remember.

You've changed your story several times. I get it is annoying, but if you are changing the story as often with your friend I can understand why your friend keeps calling.

I'm questioning the "i never really found it" statement. You sort of found it and sort of didn't find it? Leaves a bit of gap.

Invite her over to look for the bag herself if she that obsessed with it after a year.
