Mid January, my friend told me her friend/work colleague wanted to buy some retail products from me - a gift pack saving ££££s. I had one set left, delivered it to my friend for her to take into work, and expected her to let me know she's got the friend's money a few days later (£22).
Well then it was the week of the snow (beginning of Feb), then the friend was off sick, and THEN she was told she was going to be made redundant in 4 weeks' time, which I believe brings us to about 2 weeks ago. My friend hasn't mentioned it for some weeks, so I sent her a text last week asking, very politely, if her friend had paid her yet. No reply but see and chat at school gates each day (and I haven't mentioned anything as always other mums around and don't want awkwardness).
Just wondering if (a) I should expect my friend to pay on her friend's behalf and recover the money herself (b) get my friend to give me her friend's contact details so I can chase it myself, therefore relinquishing my friend of any further responsibility or (c) grin and bear the fact I've lost £22.
The friend's friend lives over 30 miles away so there's no way I'd actually visit her to confront her.
What do you think?
Thanks x
P.S The husband says no more mates' rates spray tans for this friend until this is sorted..... could be very awkward.
