I'd ask for money back off mates instead of leaving it. I have real difficulty in asking without looking like a tightarse.
Although in my opinion you shouldn't have to ask for money back off mates, they should give it back to you themselves without having to be pushed for it.

You just have crap mates.

Those aren't actually friends
but for once I agree with you, I don't loan people money for just this reason. The most I will do is buy tickets for concerts as I have no problem then asking for money for a specific thing.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy to lend people money that I know I'm good with regards to getting it back.
For example in town yesterday morning my mate left his wallet at home, so I bought the pair of trainers he was after for him. Being honest I'd forgotten about it by the time we got back to the flat but without even thinking he gave me the cash. I'm fine with people like that. It's the people who begrudge giving money back I hope die.

You should nick yourself some different mates.

Don't ask for your money back,
Just ask if you could borrow some money from them, and don't pay it back.
