      I used to report to a guy who borrowed and never returned. Luckily he did not borrow money but items like laser pointers, stationaries, etc


      :faint:

        Generally I prefer not to borrow but I am also pragmatic in certain situations, eg.performing costumes.


        If I do borrow, I will take good care and return the item with a gift to the person.

        If I do lend, I will see if the person is \"ngeow\" like me, i.e. the person will take good care.

        So far no one has come to me to borrow big amounts because:
        1. I don't look rich enough
        2. I probably don't have
        3. People around me are all richer
        :lol: :lol: :lol:

                  Yah… prepare to write off the amount.


                  If not, then find some valid excuses to get out of the situation without "affecting" the relationship.

                      Dun think twice fussyMummy, think a hundred times if you need to…

                      the $ is unlikely to come back.

                      Make up a story that your DH dun allow or you just lost $ in stock market.
                      Took $ from your mum and need to pay her back…

                        Excuses…family need to change car, send $ to China to build house, relative want to borrow for medical/school fees…


                        There are many other places one can secure a loan decently, without having to go to the loansharks. Even if you lend her the $, your friendship will be affected.

                        Juz me 2 cents
