Thanks

Offering your hubby to help put up a shelf is all very well, but when they've kept him for over a week, that's taking the Micky.

I'll send him back later, promise.

:D

Seriously, it is certainly up to the borrower to make the effort to return any items. They shouldn't need to be reminded, and chased up.

I've lost so many dearly loved books, to people who promised to look after, and return them.

It drives me mad, and shows very bad manners.

I've always thought people who say can I borrow it, actualy mean give it me. I don't borrow or lend any thing. When people say can I look at that, I say yes and hold on to it, if they reach out for it, they get told your eyes are in you head not your hands.

Next week has never come and on the odd occasion I have seen this chap he's made a fast exit stage left :rolleyes:

Of course, you're £20 down on the deal but it's no bad thing having the occasional spring clean of fairweather friends. At 32, some people may say that I'm prematurely cynical but I'm happy in the knowledge that I have four or five true mates who look out for me as much as I look out for them.
