At present we have a 'spare' car. We are friendly with a couple who had two cars but chose to get rid of one of them. This was OK until the H started working shifts and weekends.
Since then the wife has been asking to borrow our spare car on a regular basis - to go shopping, to go to the doctors etc.
She always asks my husband if she can borrow it as he is soft and never says no
I probably would also be too soft to say no if she asked me.
However, I am finding it a bit annoying that we are, in effect, providing her with a free car whilst we pay road tax and insurance.
Her husband is adamant that they are not getting another car.
I don't want to fall out with them as they are good friends and we have helped one another out in the past.
However, this has been going on for a couple of months now and I think she is being a bit cheeky.
How do I handle this without falling out with her.
