[quote1 Adult, 1 Baby, No car but pay petrol to my friend at £20 for everytime i go to stay at him to pay the petrol to and from mine he lives 60 miles away. I pay the petrol and he feeds us for free! bless him.[/quote]
Would it not be cheaper for your friend just to visit you rather than him pick you up and take you to his? Again it wouldn't save a huge deal - but often it's just as cheap to cook for 2 as it is for 1, so it might be a little cheaper than you paying his petrol?

With the charges, are they a one off or have you had a few lately? I know a few people on here have had charges stopped as a goodwill gesture, but only when it's been the first time.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
