My sister has recently given up her job and only works one day a week and is pleading poverty to everyone and cadging off friends, I have booked the train tickets and paid for them and have chased her for the money but she said she did not have the money in the bank and could not write me a cheque to pay for the train tickets. I tried to talk to her but she would not return my calls, i sent her a text this morning to see if she had the money and how much the day is likely to cost as i did not want money being a problem on the day, she has now phoned and apparently it is all my fault and I am ruining the day. Am I in the wrong for chasing her for the money, or should i just accept that she has no money and pay for her and my mum for the day. I would welcome your views sorry this is nothing to do with bodybuilding. Regards ______________________ 37 years of being fat, thats enough the cut me starts now |

I suppose i wll have to pay it just does not seem right to me. ______________________ 37 years of being fat, thats enough the cut me starts now |

Tell her to duck off and you will take your mum to London and she can do something herself. |

After while, she'll either wonder why you havent been bothering her about the money, and even possibly make arrangements to sort you out, or keep it in mind and when you one day need a hand and she kicks off about that too, then remind her of the day you took her and your mom out. |
