lol Catherine... something must have happened when I altered my first name on my account a couple of days ago.. still not right, but looks ok!

Actually, I have revised my advice, lol

I think I would send them a a bill, showing them what discounts they have received as family... and make certain that the costs of £18.00 admin are payable.

The more I think about it, the cheekier it seems!

Hi Catherine, yes, I think it was a bit mean especially with your OH doing work for free for them at the moment.

I think I would be tempted to send them an itemised bill of the work he is doing... and be sure to let them know on that bill that the work cost x amount, but no payment required as they are family... if they don't feel their conscience prickling and re-imburse your money for the do.. well, don't do anything again for them as a favour.lol

Love

thanks Shirley-I wouldn't mind but the work OH is doing would cost about £200 to anyone else.

Was invited last month to OH's Aunty's annual company dinner, got the invite and saw I had to pay £18. My OH's cousins partner was also invited and she didn't pay-She told me a week before the doo that she wasn't happy I have had to pay as I'm family, and that they would be giving me the cheque back the night of the doo-

The doo arrived and nothing was said and no chq given-so I just assumed they were a bit embarrased about it and just decided to rip the cheque up-I wrote it on the 13/3. the doo was the 28th.

I looked online at my bank yesterday and the chq was cashed-
The only thing that is getting my back up is my OH is doing some work for them-for free as they are family-Do you think they should have shown me the same curtesy and do you think I have every right to be annoyed?
