I say keep it but tell her.

Paying a workman to me implies a household cost rather than an individual expense so I don't really see it as either her money or your money. You should have joint account for such expenses that you both pay in a set amount each month.

 rubschin: maybe you should return half to her?

No way. And we don't have a joint account........

In line with government stats, tell her that the £500 was 37.5% under cost and she now owes you another £187.50  ;D

Not telling her  would be a protracted punishment of a kind I rarely get the chance of doing! spider: ;D

 ::)

Where's the fun in punishing her if she doesn't know that she's being punished.

You paid a bill for her because the cash was lost. that cash is now your in settlement.

If you want to punish her, then charge interest on the loan and inflation compensation.

But first, you'll have to tell her.

I know Mrs Nick. If I say I have found it she will demand it back. If I say nothing she will rummage eternally.

I enjoy her discomfiture..........

Mrs Nick's twin obviously lives here then. ::)

Hid her 'valuable jewelry' in a 'safe place' 7 years ago whilst we were on holiday. Never been seen since. ::)

'Our kid' sent her a c/q for the GROWLERS jnrs crimbo prezzies last december. She swore blind that she'd never received it.
She found it in one of her many coats pockets last sunday, now unpresentable. ::)

'kin wimmin. Banghead


I 'hid' the garage key in the fridge 6 months ago, in a packet of sausages....as you do like. ::)

My Dad once hid a stash of cash behind a decorative shield in the fireplace. All great until Christmas Eve when he lit a fire.  point:

Tej MIL "lost" her valuable jewellery. Blamed the cleaner and called the police. Huge kerfuffle.

We found them in a plastic bag in the water tank about 3 years later. it runs in the family. noooo:
