Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / Personal letter | | Spanish term or phrase: canta la factura | This is from a letter written to a friend. This section is talking about how things are going with his partner. The whole sentence is:
" Con XXXXX pues muy bien, como todo dios hemos tenido etapas, demasiado tiempo tras de mi.... y algunas veces me canta la factura...."
I think it has something to do with "telling off" or something like that but it's just a guess.
Any help much appreciated, thanks |

| | she expects something in return | Explanation:
There might be a better way of putting this, but I'm pretty sure this is the meaning. She runs around after him and then reminds him of it when she wants something.
From the Oxford Spanish:
te hace un favor, pero después te pasa la factura he'll do you a favor, but then he expects something in return |
