hmmm
the fact that you even have to think about it instantly disqualifies you from this qotw, you should just do it without a moments hesitation

Aye.
I had to read this several times to try and work out at what point the father-in-law had done something since the gifted holiday that meant that returning the favour was in any way a dilemma.

He is a Bastard
with money, he's weaseled a lot of money out of our savings, and is responsible for a big chunk of our debt. I personally didn't have much problem with gifting the money, but the missus gets so angry with him because he is so financially irresponsible. Hence the dilemma.

Ah, now I get it
But you didn't say that in your answer, you see! You just wrote that he did this brilliant thing for you, then said "shall I pay for his wife's flight or not?" and, quite frankly, you came off a bit mean.

Edit your answer to show WHY there is a dilemma!! Cos the phrase about "i'll prob never see it back" just makes you think "good lord man, you never paid him for YOUR holiday!!"

I should be an editor. I am far too picky for my own good.

'sokay.
I am my own worst editor; I don't want to give too much information. The story of the relationship between my my inlaws and I would be several pages of whinging that frankly *I* don't even want to hear.
