You are right. I intend to try and persue this even if it costs me a 'friendship' as I know this lady was fully aware of what I usually charge her and I thought shed actually made a genuine mistake on the text message... obviously this was not the case, I keep thinking about what you said about 'if my boss paid me half of what I was owed' and how Id feel, well Ive had bosses like that before and I didn't hang around long in the job once I realised they were consistantly doing this...then spending weeks on foreign holidays no doubt on all the interest that had built up in their bank accounts with all the staffs late wages!!!- meanwhile pleading excuses about how bad the business was doing!!..

I feel sad this has happened and it's made me distrusting of people but as I said before it was my own fault for being too soft and no doubt naive, I shan't make the same mistake again and from now on there will be no mates rates only small discounts for family and Very close friends.

Thanks everyone

It's really hard isn't it? We give discount to our CLOSE family - it's a generous discount and I always think that you have to consider what you are losing in terms of bookings - if full price paying clients can't get in, you are losing out. We all have a tendency to be too soft I think but we must try to be more business like if we want to make a living!
