[quote=Anonymous]Hi all - been with NF for about 1.5 years now. I do a lot of driving and errands for the family since the kids are older and am really getting tired of having to use my money upfront to run these errands and then be reimbursed. I've talked to MB before about this and she was going to get a prepaid credit card, but it was too much work for her to register her and required too much personal information. So a few times (especially when she is out of town) she has purchased a prepaid gift card for me to use, but when I am going grocery shopping, or picking up takeout dinner for the family, the card runs out in a week or so, and then she never seems to remember to get another one. Sometimes she will give me cash beforehand, but a lot of times she won't give me enough to cover the errand, or ask me to do something while already out with the kids. I would say 75% of the time I end up charging these items to my credit card, which I don't like doing! It's not that I don't have the money (plenty saved) and I keep very good records, and am always reimbursed with my weekly check, but I just don't feel that I should have to use my money for their stuff! I really want to suggest that she get me a credit card that I could use for job related purchases, but I don't know how receptive she would be to that. Would that be out of line to request? What else can I do?[/quote]
