So I've been doing my best to ignore my ex as she was ruining my life. I though I'd gotten rid of her when I get a text quite nicely asking if I will come and see her. I ignore once again and think nothing of it until a couple of hours later when I get another text:

'Well its your loss 4 not gettin back in touch, serves u right 4 tryin 2 b selfish towards me, thinking that I actually wanted something from you. As it turns out I wanted to give you £400, I've been saving. Maybe next time the ego you seem to have developed may not get in the way! I was trying to do the right thing.'

I feel like she was just trying to buy me back now she has some cash (she did actually owe me, but I never really thought I would see it). This has really irritated me cause I want nothing to do with her but the cash would have been nice, what should I do?
 
tell her you were in an interview/meeting with your bank manager/busy on the computer/at work etc and missed the text!?

Do you REALLY think she would have given you £400 or would you say it's more likely she is trying to mess with your head still?
 
She wants something from you. I 100% guarantee it.

You could also tell her she should exercise some patience instead of harassing people.
 
Don't text her back for a while, when you do say you left your phone at home and only just picked up the messages! And you find it unfair that she’s being nasty just because of a small bit of forgetfulness on your part, would she like to meet up, hope she is ok, whats she been upto etc?

Then meet up, grab cash and run fast.

if she owes it to you get it off her, and then tell her you never want to see her again (if thats how you feel)

I am tempted to tell her that I don't want to be her friend but, if she wants to give me the money she's more than welcome to. BUT that would mean contacting her, which I don't want to do without getting the cash...
 
If you really want the cash.. and think she might probably have it to give.. send her her own medicine.

"Hey, i got your message at last. Apologies for not replying but my phone has been broken and i only just got the repaired one back. However accusing me of a big ego and being selfish was sorely mistaken. I cant believe you think these things of me and i am truly hurt. If you want to do the right thing and pay me back i am willing to accept it and forgive you, however do not think that me accepting the cash is a new relationship."

Naturally modify slightly to certain needs.

Sounds good, although I can't deny that I do have an ego, you should see how sexy I am!
 
A gimp I used to call a friend (was at school and college with him, got him a job, etc) still owes me the best part of a grand. he still works in the same building as me but of course I never see him. he paid me back ~£40 of it once. That was all I saw of it.

Last time I saw him he was with his girlfriend. She was showing off about the amount they'd spent that week on their brand new furniture for their house. I mentioned the money he owed me and somehow she ended up trying to have a go at me saying I should let it go for a mate!

Some mate. She ended up feeling the blunt end of my annoyance.
