    Your SIL is a few slices short of a loaf Bunny! Can you not just email manager back and give her your SIL contact details and ask her to deal with it direct

    edit : especially as you are not supposed to know about this and don't want to get involved. It would then be up to your SIL to come back and get some money from MIL for the bits she had

    or say to SIL, looks because you asked my ex manager not to say anything to me when you gave her an order, she sent them to MIL as she didn't have your address. MIL didn't know they were yours so she gave them to me. Obviously i didn't know who's they were. so you got 2 lots of stuff and owe £40.

    she did Linda-I feel bad for her as she thinks I took the goods and bloody ran off with them!

    !!!!!!

    I had a similar situation when I was a Body Shop consultant, but I didn't charge the middle person, I wrote the cost off because it was my error and no-one elses! :mad:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    My SIL is a stupid !!!!!!.

    I am DEFINITELY not spending much on her for Xmas...MIL is good to us, babysits for free etc so I don't begrudge paying for hers. If only they could be upfront and honest...

    And this is EXACTLY why I gave it up.

    So cross.

    No, this is the age of "the anonymous third party who had nothing to do with the transaction pays". Witness the bank bailouts by the taxpayers...

    Look at the order, subtract what you gave MIL. That's what you gave SIL.
