to ring the police and report this "theft"?

[lollipopshoes]

I know I probably ABU but I really need some advice.

dd1 used to get into a lot of trouble at school with a friend of hers (G) but then G got expelled and dd1 settled down and did ok in her gcses and started college.

Today she met G before college today for a coffee.

Turns out dd1 hasn't been in college today after all, and the £30 she drew out of the bank this morning to pay for her bus fares and dinners all week has all gone, she is refusing to tell me what she has spent it on but she has nothing to show for it.

I don't think she spent it on drugs but I'm not naive enough to think it's not a possibility.

dp been called out on a job so I have nobody to vent to.

Am cross.

What do I do?????

No confession, no cash.:o

just wondered how you got on with handling this, in the cold light of day?

I agree that she should get a job, even a temporary Christmas one stacking shelves or similar to earn some money she can spend and to pay you back.

She might well be less inclined to spend it on rubbish when she's earned it. I had my first job at WHSmith's at 16 and it was a great way to gain some financial responsibility and it gave me something for my CV too.

Good luck
