Shall I just do it? Is it worth arguing about this?


I'm not sure she misunderstood you, I think she understood but decided to strong-arm you into doing it, phrasing it as if that is a foregone conclusion. I would have just ignored it but it sounds like you took care of it so that's fine too, probably better peace-of-mind for you.

- We can either pay one fee to get the house sale proceeds paid by bank transfer (takes 2-3 days), or by a faster process (same day) which is more than twice the price. I think it's a bit of a waste of money (we're talking £20 extra) but I don't think I will choose to have this battle.


I agree with you, at that amount it's not worth fighting about.

- My parents gave us some money towards a home improvement. They gave it to me about a fortnight before BD. I remember that W definitely mentioned to me afterwards, "I suppose we should give that money back to your parents." I then withdrew it. She then had a massive rant at me, saying how disrespectful I was taking it without talking to her. She denied all knowledge of saying that we should give it back. I transferred it back. It's stayed there ever since. I don't know why she needs reminding. She has access to that account and can check the banking app at any time.


Inform her that you are withdrawing it to transfer back to your parents and then do it. Don't wait for her permission.
