Me: I'm in the neighbourhood and haven't got much time but could drop your card in H: No, all good, I'll pick it up at the weekend if that's OK - busy with clients right now anyhow Me: Just a thought that was all - didn't mean to impose! (GREAT - confirmation that he's no longer thinking about coming down but actually IS coming) H: Weekend is fine, thanks. Me: OK - please let me know what day best suits.
If you had to text him you should have stopped after he said he was busy with clients but you carried on. 'Didn't mean to impose' is quite loaded also imo. Remember, just be cool. Not in the cold sense of the word
