  • Im ok thanks just pottering about keeping up with work and stuff. Had a lovely day today. Had two lunches as I double booked myself. Went to a work friends house she has spent a year doing up and its lovely puts mine to shame. Had so yummy homemade soup as well. The went for a drink with another work friend tocatch up and whinge, Will be glad when the dept merger gets finalised been in limbo and the old "bosses" arent the best so looking forward to a change.

    Going out with OH tonight to watch second work friends band.

    DS party on Sun so tomorrow and Sun morning to sort that out. Hoping to do some home cooking to ease costs.

    Friend who owes money told me this morning that BT took two lotsof payments :mad:. Im getting fed upof all these additional costs/charges I feel bad that Im starting to wonder if its real or not. She is babysitting for me tonight so saves the cost of my nephew.

    Hate to say it hun but think you need to have hard words with said friend.
    If BT have taken two payments she can get it back under the DD guarentee.

    I hate to agree, but def think shes coming up with excuse after excuse, its unlikely that is happened, without sounding rude, its not the 1st excuse she has come up with, maybe one or two reasons as not to pay would be acceptable, but once past 4 then its getting a bit unfair to you.

    bite the bullet and tell her, she'll go one way or another, do you want to risk the friendship ( sorry i don't know how close of a friend she is) ibut then if shes a goiod friend she would have told you the truth.

    Sorry to sound so blunt. xx

    I agree with the others in that she's just lying.Maybe she has no intention to pay you back.I'd be having very strong words with her if I was in your position.

    Good news is work going well and Im back to 25% of my highest debt figure paid off :j:T:j
