Furious, ticked, miffed and hurt! - Page 5

Please try not to let one person's comment's destroy your confidence in yourself. I've looked at your photo's, and your cakes are great! Like you said, the MOB has not tried your cakes - so she basically doesn't know what she's talking about! Do not let these negative comments beat you! You are better than that!!!

According to the clock on my DVD player.....it's now 6:26 PM in NC. Did the Fed Ex guy come?

Beth in KY

I'm curious to hear the rest of the saga... this is my new soap opera

Between this post and another one in the lounge I am dying to know what going on. I don't think I've ever been wrapped up in a thread like this one before.

I feel angry, taken advantage of, and fumed for you!!!

Best of Luck in the situation!

So, is this the end of the story? No money, no cake.

I'm dying here! It's 9:39pm on Saturday night. What's the result????
Did Fed-Ex deliver the check?

Oh man, sorry to hear this, I will say a prayer for your family. Hope you can get some rest.

Does Fed-Ex deliver on the weekends? They don't here. And I am on pins and needles ( or cake talk Bags of icng and tips) for the "rest of the story" It is 830pm here. What gives. Hopefully you got all of this Saturdays orders done and delivered/picked up on time.

Hi Ididnt know you were part of CC. I found your site on the internet, and I love it.. I keep your family in my prayers

Phew just got through all 5 pages of this lol, I was on pins & needles reading through it. I'm glad you got the money finally. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about your DH's GM.

We will be thinking of you an your family.

My mom passed almost 2 years ago now of lung cancer. In the end we were thankful that she went peacefully and that we were able to visit together.

Thinking of you.

So sorry to hear about your bad news. I will definately send up a prayer for her........

I'm also glad that Mr. Fed-Ex showed up. This will be wonderful for you when it's all said and done with. I am sure you'll do such an excellent job (from looking at your gallery) that the MOB should at least apologize to you.

Best Wishes to your family

I just finished reading this entire thread. Amy, I'm so sorry you've had to go through this all and now dealing with your hubby's grandmother on top of it. Sometimes it seems that life is testing us. I'm sure you'll feel better in the morning and things will look clearer to you. I've already said a prayer for your grandmother-in-law and I hope no matter if the whole check is in that FedEx envelope or not, that things work out well and go the way you want them to go.

One thing I have to say that I'm surprised no one else said earlier on when you were dealing with MOB. Being that this came down to being an issue of the contract, if it was me and I had told the MOB that the contract was between the bride and myself and I couldn't talk to her (MOB). If she had given me the hard time she gave you, I would have told her, "Fine, you hold on to the money. Make sure you give it to my ______(fill in the blank - sister, cousin, husband, etc.) and my 10 year old son. They'll be delivering and setting up the cake." I'm sure she would have questioned that, and the answer that would have come back: "Well, I know it says that I'm going to set it up in the contract and that's what I told your daughter, but something came up and I have an order that's worth more money than your daughter's so I'll be setting that one up instead." You'd be sure she'd be quoting the contract left and right at that point and that would be when I'd jump on her and say that it goes both ways.

Anyway, that's the passive agressive in me, but that's what I'd probably have done in your situation. Honestly, I think you did the correct thing and I hope no matter what the breakdown is, you are happy and don't let this experience sour you. Just chalk it up to another lesson for future reference.
