    Life is a learning experience. You live, you learn, you move on and use what you've learned. Unfortunately you don't seem to have learned that keeping a scumbag like this for a friend is only going to hurt you.

    Drop her and move on. It's really easy.

    I'm pleased to say I've got it now :)

    Funny you should say about her daughter.

    I was talking some more with my husband last night and our daughter said this woman's daughter is the same.

    She said she lends her money for the locker when they go swimming and then has to ask her several times to get it back - she said she ignores her the first few times and then says,' oh, sorry, I didn't hear you / I forgot about it.'

    Hmm! Luckily my daughter isn't backward at coming forward and she's never got away with it!

    The apple never falls far from the tree... Good on your daughter! She'll go a long way. ;)
