to expect my sister and her dh to pay back money they owe before they sod off on hols

[jamDOHnut]

Several weeks ago BIL asked dh to get him some car bits using dh's discount , dh did and it came to about £50. Whern BIL came to collect he had no money but would drop it in. The other night my sister rang me to ask if i could lend her some money as she was going to see Rod Stewart with her pal and couldnt go to the bank at lunchtime as she had to drive to her other friends house to fetch 4 free tickets which she was giving to another friend. She popped in and I told her I could only find £25 but it was ds's and he didnt know but would realise very soon as he'd saved up for a drum and now had enough. She was to drop the money in yesterday. dh had to chase BIL also and he said sis had his card and would bring money. In a couple of hours they go to South of |France for a few weeks and no sign of money

they live about a 30 mile round trip from my house so in reality its usually quite an expensive favour. much cheaper if she puts them in a bunnery and cattery

Jammy, I knew what you meant; I was joking I hope this all gets sorted.

YANBU.

My sister owes me 30k which she is slowly paying us back over the next 10years. However SHE can afford to go to Ibiza for 2 weeks every summer plus Centreparcs. I can't.

is it all possible she has forgotten, my brother bought our mums birthday present this year from both of us and posted it to her( easier for him to do it than me cos Im not in the uk) and had to remind me 6 weeks later that I hadnt paid I was absolutely mortified I had honestly totally forgotten.

If its not that she has forgotten I would say send me my money and petrol money or the bunnies dont get it (fed that is)

the other week she popped over to ireland to attend an auction - she wanted to go no one asked her to - and she took her friend the idea being that they were going to make a weekend of it. Anyway before she even went she complained that we hadnt even got her currency. When she came back early at an extra cost of £200 to get a flight a few hours before her booked one she complained that she had spent £700 - so basically she is pissed that she outlayed that and expects some contribution from us!

Sorry, am confused. Why would she expect you to contribute to the cost of her trip?

the farms we're beneficiaries of were put up for auction - she thought she would go along - thats all
