Back in May, a colleague asked to borrow £100 as she needed to buy a new phone. We were both living abroad and the phone was quite important as it was her only contact with her family. It was really sprung on me tbh and I'm a complete doormat so I lent it to her, she swore she'd pay it back the following week on Pay Day.
Her pay was subsequently delayed and before she was paid, I moved back home.
We're in contact on FB and she has been telling me for months she'd pay it but has been having various issues organising it with the bank.
Today she has messaged me saying she can't figure out how to pay but as she is getting married in April, she'd like to take it as a gift.
It's £100!!
I'd possibly give that for my best friend or sister, but couldn't justify that for someone I barely know.
AIBU in thinking this is shockingly cheeky??
She's making me feel terribly guilty. She's on low pay and is claiming she's too shy to ask our old boss to help her sort the payment.
