Person no. 1
asked to buy bottled water (only organic & in glass bottles!). 30min later she welcomed her cleaner & walked off into town.
Went shopping for her a few days later. It took her a week to reimburse me. I quote, "I'm sure you didn't need the money, did you?"

asked me to buy meds & bread before Easter. Rang a few days later to ask would I be going to the farmer's market, she loves the cheese there. I told her it was too busy there to be safe, but I'd be happy to let her know before I shop at the Lidl next time...

Just did last night. Today an SMS: She doesn't need anything from the Lidl. She went out to the farmer's market in the middle of town & to the grocery store & got everything she needed.
