  • Glad youve seen the light ;):p

    Id give the whole ten pounds back, not like youd miss yhe 79p, specially if youve spent her tenner n you have to with draw another to replace it, might as well just hand it all over , i couldnt be bothered to faff around with the 79p... :D

    Give the tenner back ... then borrow tea bags off her for the rest of the week. ;)
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.
  • The thing is that whilst the amount is small it can build up.

    I have a situation where my colleague has asked me to buy on two occasions things for her which have come under £1 each time....so theoretically that's just under £2. If I keep on writing these amounts off the total amount could end up a tidy sum!

    quite possibly!!! ;)
    but i do kind of know that feeling - i'm counting all the pennies i spend and find myself going a little too far every now and again on the moneysaving front...
    (and i would 'borrow' a few of her tea bags too....!)

    Yeah that is true, but if its just a one off then id see no harm in it, itpays to be nice sometimes, you never know when you might need a favour..

    As for your colleague.. i have a friend like that at college, she'll ak for 20p /50p whatever just so SHE doesnt have to break into a note.. I call that taking the pee..! I conveniently dont have change now, or have exact money for my drink etc.. she aint checking my purse lol :p

    look at the 79p as interest on money borrowed!

    then forget about it, it's all swings and round-abouts.

    Give her the tenner back, and think of the tea bags as a thank you present. Maybe she was worried you would buy her chocolates. :D
