Friend still hasn't paid, how to chase up AGAIN

My friend has form for this.

Instance 1: we agreed we would go halves on a service that we both needed. I paid for it upfront (£90) and she said she would transfer. Took about a week and a half.

Instance 2: I mentioned I was going to a shop, she asked if I could pick up some pet food for her and she would 'send the money immediately' to the total of £50. Again took a week to get the money.

Last week: I mentioned I was selling something and she asked if she could have it. We agreed on a price (£60) and I said that I was passing her way, so I could drop it off for her. Low and behold, a week later I still don't have the money.

I know it's 'only' a week, but I need the money (which is why I was selling).

Have sent a couple of text reminders but have received nothing back.

“Hi Jane, just a quick reminder, any chance you could send me over the £60 for the _ , thank you!”

Then don’t ever do her any favours again. I hate people that leave you waiting on money.

Oh come on, wise up. After the first episode you should have stopped ever advancing her money. Why did you give her the thing without her handing over the cash?

Couldn't have said it better myself. Get the money first in future, if she asks why, reel of the above list.

Give her a call, tell her you need it today and you'll pop round this evening to collect.
