Ditto. That's the start of an unhappy union!

My friends engaged, they always do this. Awkward when out for a meal and we all just want to split it by the number of people at the table. They work it out exactly when its just them as well.

For god sake get a joint account both pay in the same amount and forget these issues there are more important things in life than petty matters like this.

[HoHoHo]

Wow, just wow.

Has she got an interest calculator should the debt be over a day old?

[vescaegg]

[Eric Mc]

To be fair, I'd be running in the opposite direction to a partner that narrowed down everything to the penny.

Oh man - why didn't I just put 'housemate' in the original post!

Because we know you'd be lying that's why!

Thanks for doing the sums, glad we got the same!

We didn't, you got £12.75 and by the sounds of it that 25p difference could cause a riot

[TheHound]

Your figures are wrong. You owe her £35.25!!!

All the figures are wrong. He should owe her nothing

[Eric Mc]

And the correct answer is....... RUN AWAY!!!!!!!

[waterwonder]

Only because I've got nothing else to do:

You
£100 - £64.50 = + £35.50


Her
£75 - £110 = - £35

Therefore you owe her £35.25. Meaning you both end up with 25p.

I agree with the others though, life is going to be very complicated for you if you try and account for everything down to the last penny, particularly if you can't do maths.

(Hopefully my sums are correct, if not I blame it on doing it in my head, and from memory due to mobile posting character limits).

I was paid £100 cashback into my bank account by Quidco (For a joint internet contract). So that's £50 each.
I paid £64.50 from my account, for some wine (That we'll both drink). So that is £32.25 each we should pay.

At this point you owe her (£50-£32.25) £17.75.

She was paid £75 cashback into her bank account by Quidco (For another joint contract) So that's £37.50 each.
She paid £110 for a coffee machine (That we'll both use) So that's £55 each.

Now you owe her (£17.75 - (£75/2 = £37.50) = £-19.75 + (£110/2 = £55) = £35.25

I think this means I owe her £12.75

Wrong, you owe her £35.25.

She's not so mental any more, is she?
