*sigh* not happy. by Baenlynn 2011-02-16 18:19:11
Woke up this morning and saw my debit card sitting on the bench on a receipt for petrol.

Seems my sister had borrowed my card in order to fill her car. That I don't mind, But what I do mind is that she didn't ask. This sets a precedent wherein she feels entitled to things simply because I've given permission in the past. I'd have said yes today, I'd have said yes to more than what was spent, but NOT if she's going to go and take it because I WOULD say yes.

What about when I've got to say no? I've got payments coming out of my account every week and if this S4 happens again I could end up overdrawn or losing my storage shed because SHE needed something and I've ALWAYS said yes.
