To ask for my money?

[lauradt]

I really don't want to seem greedy because I'm really not.
I lent my friend £100 as some concert tickets came on sale and she said she couldn't afford them.
She said she would try and pay me £10 a week back (a month ago now and nothing )
Anyway yesterday she posted pics on Facebook of her in a toy shop saying £600 later !
Then on the night she posted a pic of a Chinese box (which is about £15)
Now honestly I'm not being greedy but surely if you can spend all that you can start paying me £10 a week?

Tell me more about this Chinese box....

Ask her for the money. Tell her that you need it and that you can see from her FB page that she is not hard up at the moment.
NEVER lend her a penny ever again. CF

Phone her today and ask outright for your money.

Just tell her you need the £100 ASAP as you need to start buying Christmas presents (if you celebrate) and you need to buy this years most wanted toys before they all get sold out. But seriously, just say you need it all back now, not £10 a week. I can’t bear this kind of thing.

And forget this £10 a week shit. You want it all today.

Be brave. You will feel stronger for asking (says me who has taken 50 years to learn this)

The £600 has probably gone on a credit card.

You should still ask for your money back. If it’s a month ago, she owes you £40 right now.

You're probably right Purple but that's besides the point. She shouldn't be buying anything before she's paid the OP let alone bragging about it on FB.

You should comment on the post or like it. Then say glad you have come into some money as you need to buy your Christmas presents now. That you were relieved as you were struggling and worried about it. Then a direct I will pop over tue, thus, fri for it as shopping Sat. Xx

Comment on the post from the toy shop. What a bad friend she is- never lend friends money or borrow from them, such a sad way to hurt a friendship.

I don't understand why you would think it's "greedy" to ask for your own money back?

Tell her you want it/ need it all back this weekend. She's taking the piss. Don't lend her anything else.

When she said she would ‘try’ to pay you back ten pounds a week, she let you know she considers the £100 a gift. She expects you to forget about it, because she’s a CF.

Ask for it back and say you see from FB that she isn’t struggling at the moment. Of course she’ll probably say she’s cleared out her bank account with all the spending - at which point say that she hasn’t been fair and she should have honoured the loan first, as a good friend. You were a good friend to her and you expect the same consideration.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

Anyway yesterday she posted pics on Facebook of her in a toy shop saying £600 later !

What did you reply to her post?

If somebody cannot afford concert tickets then they don't go to the concert, it is hardly an essential. I don't know why you would lend money for something like that anyway, but yes now you just need to ask for it back, in full.

Ask for it back, say you need it ASAP.

Defo comment and life the evidence on her fb.

What's a Chinese box? An expensive takeaway meal. A beautifully decorated jewellery box.

Just message and say checked my bank and I’ve not been receiving your money can you send me the £50 you’d promised by now and please make sure I get the rest on time. Has the concert happened because I’d be keeping the tickets til she’s paid if it hasn’t

Text her and say "Saw your toy haul pic on FB, your so organised, I need some of that motivation! I also need some of that money Can you fix me up for the £100 please. Should have been £50 at this stage but I'll take it all if you have it and are feeling flush"

Text her and say you need the £100 by end of November as it’s your xmas cash

Oh you’ve come into some cash by the sounds of it what with buying x, could you return my 100 as I need it more urgently.

'Anyway yesterday she posted pics on Facebook of her in a toy shop saying £600 later !'

Do people actually do this?

How crass

The £600 has probably gone on a credit card.

So? She can use paypal to send the OP the £100 owed using a credit card if she's not bothered about spending on the credit card.
