To want borrowed things back?

[Lentils]

Lent some cookbooks to a friend. Been about two mos now. Asked a few days ago and she said she hadn't had time to look at them. But I now need them as ds has moved beyond purees. It's been long enough yes?

i have some excellent vinyls, had for - quick calculation - 25 years

I used to lend things out willynilly, cd's
book, clothes, money, dvd's etc but I now generally only lend out to my 2 closest friends.

Not cos i'm mean but very often i didn't get
my posessions back and sometimes with regards to a book it would come back ripped, with a coffee mug stain on the front or even the worst crime commited by a book lover 'A Turned Over Corner' which pissed me off even more cos I alsways lend books with a bookmark

It makes me feel sick to think of the things that I've lent out and never got back...

I now only lend things to very very trusted friends, and that's if I'm not mega fussed about getting em back...
