She has booked it and paid for it herself (good), and she'll get her brother to move it to the front of the house. Whether they'll deliberately leave it in front of the garage so I cannot get access into the garage without moving it again is another matter - I'll find out on Sunday morning!
She has said "The [£x] is to be split 50/50, it's in the lawyer's paperwork. I'm sure it was discussed."
This is news to me! I don't recall discussing this further. I was under the assumption that we would consider this separately from everything else, and that there would be no question about us giving the full amount back to my parents.
I take some of the blame for this, because I should have pointed out before the financial papers were all completed that we needed to work out what was going to happen to this money (it's a few thousand pounds).
My sister and her H have said "I don't see what her issue is. If we split up, there'd be no argument. We'd just give that money back to my parents. I wouldn't expect to take half of that."
My mum is rather upset by it all. It's because the money was for a specific purpose, and now that purpose is no longer happening as the house is sold, I just thought it'd be no issue to take it back. I guarantee W's sister has googled something and said "That's your money, it's in a joint account in your names, so you're entitled to half of it." And W has gone along with it. I'd bet money on that.
Part of me thinks, just let her take it, and I'll gradually pay my parents back for her half. I'm disappointed W has treated my parents like this, after everything they've done for her.
