    Default yeay I stood my ground!

    hello everyone
    so glad I stood my ground after mum today dropped off money owed for two weeks, I counted it and couldnt understand why it 20 odd short, so I queried it and mum said oh I thought it was half for children being sick, so i said no its full, it always has been and its on your contract. So she didnt have a leg to stand on. I normally hate asking for things and normally a softie too so i am quite proud of myself!

    Well done, it was only right and I bet she felt bad for getting it wrong and a bit embarrassed if she was trying it on!

    Good for you!

    I'm the same when it comes to the money, but it feels good to stand up for yourself and I think each time we do it it gives us the confidence and makes us stronger for the next problem that arises. Well done

    Well done! My parent pays by Accor vouchers and it was under by £1.80, said she could give it to me as cash (usualy done bank tranz), still not received it, but I'll just add it to her March bill
