    Next time your sister asks to see your credit card statements, allow yourself to become extremely annoyed and tell her in as nasty a way as possible to go and mind her own b..... business!

    You dont want a Christmas present from her. You want your money in the bank. If a Christmas present from her costs this much then youd be better off going out to buy one yourself. Im sure everyone else will be on soon to agree with me. Theyre probably all reeling around in horror at the moment :eek:

    tes i cant write a cheque i havent got any... well not avalible anyways... no she wants cold hard cash... but i cant transfer it so its tough luck, she will have to get someone else to bail her out... the thing that angured me is she is saying she will get somone to nick her car she has now and set fire to it to get insurance money from it :mad: now car fires are common round here, but thats fraud!!! awaiting a text now but i have told her it will take nearly 30days to get the money... the same amount of time that she was going to give me the money for... so she can save... i am od on both my current accounts and i have removed £30 already from my savings... its turning into a slippery slope... but not anymore... this no will be the no that stops me and i will be heading up again :)

    Maybe you should change the password on your ebay account right now.

    Its up to her if she wants to commit fraud and she may be found out. You hang onto your money girl. What has she ever done for you? Nothing, I bet.

    I was absolutely on the edge of my seat reading through that PAP!!!!

    Tes is spot on!
    Your finances are noones business but yours. That £200 (when you started selling the last lot) was to help your moving out fund.
    If she can afford to pay it back at £60 a week then your sister should save for 5 weeks, like the rest of us have to to buy herself a new car.

    As its been said before, you buckle on this and it'll be a slippery downhill slope. You said yourself she only talks to you when she wants something, why the hell should you take that sitting down. By the sounds of it she cxant even handle her own money so how she thinks she's got any rights to yours is unbelievable to me!!!
    i am fed up of lending people money and i know i am not likely to get it back

    Then dont! Be strong and iron willed. Your life is now in full swing and there for the taking! Don't let anyone else take anything from you hun, be it money, confidence, self esteem, you deserve every single penny to your name, make sure you keep it there!

    How would she do that? And what could she do anyway?
