DH and I went out for dinner with my friend and her boyfriend who I have met once but who is very nice.
She suggested an Italian place not far from us and we went there. It was really nice and we had a lovely evening.
We’ve only all been out together once before and that was when we were out at a restaurant for my birthday and everyone paid for themselves. Otherwise she and I usually go out the two of us and just split the bill down the middle.
They both somehow forgot their wallets and she did let me know about half an hour before we got there. She said we don’t have money so will have to transfer it to you.8 said ok that’s fine.
So we went out and then I paid for all of us (I had already agreed with DH I would pay for us!)
Anyway they mentioned in passing my friend transferring the money to me but not blatantly so I didn’t say anything but she will probably text l and ask for my bank details.
It occurs to me I should say that I should say it’s fine, we’ll get this one, and hopefully they would get the next one. But I feel like she’s the kind of friend who would forget(!) and he might just not know as he probably just expects she’ll transfer it to me.
I am 20w pregnant and saving up for mat leave so don’t just have money to throw away plus they probably earn the same as us between them.
What do you think?
I have her money earlier this year for an event that was cancelled and she didn’t end up paying for. It was not a lot, about £10 and she forgot about it. The last time I saw her (June maybe) it came up and she was apologetic and said sorry she forgot I’d given that to her and would sort it out next time but presumably forgot again. Tonight was more than £10 obviously...
That’s what makes me wonder if she’d just forget...
