Payment for shopping for someone else

Again a wwyd. Following on from a previous thread, SIL - who wanted to use our garden as it’s bigger and has a habit of mild CFery which is often thwarted mind - is now self isolating.

As we are family I said to her we would pick some stuff up - well offered up DH. When DH phoned to see how they were getting on there was no mention of payment but that he had forgotten something. Surprisingly enough she still hasn’t paid. It’s not that much In cash terms though obviously the bar is set really. They are stuck inside. DH is not and there is, by all accounts, an expectation he makes the run for them again which is understandable with the whole isolation thing....

However, when would you chase for payment? Would you make the next shopping point the deadline and not do another run if they haven’t paid? Or is it an ‘all stick together, it’s not really important situation and just get over it’ situation...

Great news, OP. You have to be persistent with CFs. I once turned up at a 'friend's' door for £200 that she borrowed from me. Her dad was a millionaire and the money was pennies for her. It was pathological for her.
