Ok, so I would probably class her as one of my best friends.
About 2 months ago she needed some money to pay a bill and I borrowed her £40, my understanding was that she would pay me back when she got paid but that day came and went and she never gave it me back.
I didn't want to ask for it as I don't think I should have to. Personally when I owe someone money I hate it and want to clear my debt straight away. So eventually I thought that maybe she had genuinely forgot about it and I would just forget about it.
A few weeks later, she was getting a new sofa delivered and wanted to decorate before it came but didn't have the money until she got paid 3 days after the sofa would have been delivered so I offered to buy the wallpaper and paint and said she could give it me back when she got it and so gave her another £55.
It's been 3 weeks since then, about 2 weeks ago she mentioned something about the money and even said "oh I still owe you that £40 as well" but then nothing since. I have tried making little hints when I have seen her and tried slipping into conversation but again nothing.
She also want's to buy my Android Tablet from me for £100 and keeps saying "when are you bringing it down? I'll have to get the money from the bank" but I don't want to hand it over until I have the cash now as I might never get it.
I know the simple answer seems to be that I should just openly ask for the money, but I don't want to sound like I'm being funny about it or anything. Normally I would probably just let it go but I am pretty skint at the moment myself so that seem's like allot of money.
