To want to see evidence from boyfriend before handing over £850?

Last night, boyfriend of 4 months booked a flights to New York for us. Total cost being £1700. He earns much more than I do so this isn't a huge deal to him, to me, it's a huge amount of money.

I did insist however on paying half and that isn't a problem, I have the money but rather than it being a bit of pocket change like it is with him, it's taken me a LONG time to save up.

It occurred to me that I don't even have any evidence of him booking anything and to be fair, 4 months isn't really that long to know anybody. He could be fleecing me!!

AIBU to ask to see the booking confirmation? it seems so untrusting but £850 is a LOT of money to me.

Troll, can't remember name. Famous thread about giving her stepdaughter te boxoroom. Other threads which made it clear her relationahop with her oh and his family was very dysfunctional.

Thanks for that SHRIIIEEEK.

Definitely boxy then.

AnyFucker · 19/11/2012 12:35

"Boxy" is short for the Boxroom Troll.

Has had several names, one of the first incarnations (or when people first started to put two and two together) was a lament about how her new partner wanted her own dd to be turfed out of her own bedroom and his two sons moved in.

Swiftly followed by many varied threads detailing a a very strange and dysfunctional relationship. Invariably, she was told to get shut of the twat, but she never listened and simply kept coming back asking variations of the same question hoping for a different response.

She apologised a few months ago, and acknowledged that is what she had done. I believe she is still around.

TakeMyEyesButNotTheGoat · 19/11/2012 12:38

That thread sounds familiar.

If this is the OP we suspect it is, she is doing the same.

Tweasels · 19/11/2012 12:39

I'll go with boxy.

There's just been loads of really shit trolls this weekend. I don't mind if they at least keep it up but just to start a thread is lazy.

I was mildly amused by body slamming grandma though.

CinnabarRed · 19/11/2012 12:40

Linky to body slamming grandma? Please?

TakeMyEyesButNotTheGoat · 19/11/2012 12:42

Has it been deleted? Don't want to waste my time like with this name changing OP.

KatoPotato · 19/11/2012 12:49

Body Slammed Grandma Love this the most. thanks guys

WileyRoadRunner · 19/11/2012 12:51

What was more concerning is that it took ages for someone to ask how Granny was!

SantasStrapOn · 19/11/2012 12:52

Another post and run? Hmm

TakeMyEyesButNotTheGoat · 19/11/2012 12:54

Grin great thread about Grandma OP.

Fenton · 19/11/2012 13:03

I know it's not on to bring in other threads but

DS has broken his arm whilst body slamming his Grandma. Any ideas on how to cheer him up?

has got to be the funniest thing I have read on here this month.

CinnabarRed · 19/11/2012 13:05

Thanks! It was exactly what I was hoping for based the descriptions on this thread, and more.

Tweasels · 19/11/2012 13:06

Tis lazy to post and run.

And boring.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 19/11/2012 13:08

Concrete granny, bwahahaaa Grin.

Getting body slammed by your grandson has to rate up there as much as getting run over by a reindeer for a Granny.
