Awkward situation with friend owing me money

[bagpuss90]

i made a donation on behalf of a friend to a nominated charity following her family members death. She doesn’t do anything online - which is why I did it for her . So she’s never repaid me . She said she gave me 100 quid cash. No one ever gives me cash these days . 100% I would have remembered it . I absolutely know she’s never given it back. It’s now a really awkward situation. I think it’s not just about the money- it was her family member and there was nothing given by her in his memory . I might add Im self employed and not in a position to lose 100 quid right now. I don’t want to fall out with her but it’s really awkward. Any ideas ? Or just a lesson learnt

Just be honest and say you want it back and she didn’t give it to you.

Sorry! I read it as "she said she WOULD give me..." my response was no help.

Personally, I would approach her and say "when do you think you gave me the money? I think there's been confusion somewhere. I've not handled that much cash in years so you definitely didn't pay me and I've been without it for months now, I really need repaying"
