Nicola Bulley messaged friend to arrange future plans minutes before her disappearance

A friend of missing mum Nicola Bulley has revealed what she said to her in a text message which is thought to have been sent just minutes before she disappeared. The mortgage advisor, 45 was last seen walking her dog Willow along the River Wyre on the morning of January 27, after she dropped her two daughters off at school in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire.

Today marks one week since the mum-of-two went missing and police have cordoned off part of her walking route as specialist divers search the river. It is feared that Nicola may have fallen into the river and been dragged downstream, although no conclusive evidence has proved this theory, the Mirror reports.

The pal, who wishes to remain anonymous, believes Nicola did not plan on going missing, as she revealed she had sent a text making plans with friends. She said: "[Nicola] booked a playdate [at] 8.57am, she sent a text message to a friend whose mortgage she had just recently signed off on to arrange for the girls to go for tea this week. You wouldn’t have done that if you were going to get up and go missing."
