    You don't think my boyfriend will be mad at me do you.

    He'd probably be more annoyed that you didn't stand up to your sister and say no.

    How about texting your sister and telling her to pick them up by 10pm tonight?

    There is NO WAY you should let her get away with not coughing up some money for the take away - she has wrecked your night, and by the sounds of it, couldn't care less.

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Never mind the creative revenges, or trying to get money out of her, you could have stopped all of this before it started but you didn't.

    I'm not trying to be funny but was saying 'no, sod off, we've got plans' and kicking them all out really so hard for you to do? Why?

    Until you answer that question you'll always be moaning that she takes you for granted...and it is because you let her.

    She won't answer her phone, She will be at some party somewhere. As for coughting up. She will use some excuse not to give me money. She has wrecked my night. Its the first one in my new place the first place I could call home.

    I really dislike her at the minute.
  • You should do what my Aunt used to do, put on your coat when answering the door and pretend to be going out.

    theres no point letting your sister's actions spoil your night, so don't let it. You like being with your nieces and your boyfriend, and you are :). Enjoy tonight, and have it out with your sister tomorrow, just tell her straight, no more babysitting at all unless you have prior notice from her, and it suits you.

    Annoyed??? I would have been fuming and told her straight away "Its NOT going to happen....END OF!!", being sure to firmly slam the door in her face.

    Really feel for you Hazel but I feel worse for your poor nieces being dumped as soon as some bloke comes along, why do so many women do this. Hope the girl's have settled fine & you can still have a lovely night.
    Booo!!!
