My sister met a man in Turkey 2 years ago. She has been going over to see him since, and has been over 3 times in total. He proposed at the end of her first 2 week holiday, so they had known each other for less than 2 week when he proposed but she accepted (silly girl!). Back home we all told her what he probably is really after from her, a passport to this country and stupidly she sends him and his family £40 a week as they have little money. She is blind to the whole situation.
Anyway, she desperately wants to go over for his mother's 60th birthday in 2 weeks time and has been dropping hints that she hasn't been able to save any money to get there. Then, yesterday came what I was expecting. She asked me for the money. She says she is to the limit on her overdraft and credit card and wants me to use my overdraft or credit card to pay and when she returns home, she will pay me back within 4 months. I told her under no circumstances, except maybe for emergencies with my children would I go into debt and she blew off on one and now she won't speak to me, answer my texts, nothing. It's equally sad she's fallen out with me because my brother doesn't speak to me neither because I fell in love with a black man, and 'I should stick to my own kind'. That's another story though.
