    Hi Katie

    First time I have been to the Inn for ages!!

    Hope you feel better soon angel - I have the dreaded flu as well - had to have an ECG yesterday because of chest pains. Still the enforced rest will mean that I can enter comps without feeling guilty!

    Try and get loads of sleep and fluids and hopefully you will feel better.

    Love Ru x

    I have a dilemma and hope you can sort it out for me ;)

    Son A (age 12) got a DVD set for Christmas. He opened it and said, "not my thing. Who wants it?" Son B (age 9) asked for it and was given it. However, Son B has now sold it for twenty quid :rotfl:Son A is now demanding the £20 saying it's his. His excuse is that he thought Son B wanted to watch/keep it not sell it. Son B says "No", he gave it to him so he can do as he wishes.

    My question is, "Who is the rightful owner of the £20?"

    My friend did that to me with a car I gave her to help her pass her test/start her off as she has no family to help her. A week later she sold it for £500 and didn't offer me a penny. We haven't spoken since :cool:
    Back on it!
  • Hiya all :) oohhh imo you could use the 20 pounds to take both boys bowling/ the cinema or something ? aww i do feel for the older son though he probs thought he was doing a nice thing giving his unwanted gift to the younger son and dint expect hm to sell it !! the younger boy sound very shrewd for a 9 year old !!! i hpe everyone feels better soon :) rest assured if you can use a laptop its only a bad cold you have not flu so thats good news :D iam still ill with a sickness bug n hopin ill be bettter for new years - going bowling wih the OH and friends which is a great deal its only 20 for all night bowling and food so its so much fun !

    i'd make them have £10 each & if they still argue then would take the £20 off them & tell 'em if they don't agree to £10 each you'll keep it :D:D:rotfl:
