Well, I guess she will do what she will do and ask for what she will ask for. After that, it comes down to a boundary issue for you. Do you want to keep on doing this stuff? Does that arrangement work for you?

It's up to you, but options could be:

Forget about the request and see if she raises it again
Give the pen drive on the basis that 'friends' may pave the way for possible R somewhere down the road
Offer a truth dart? - W - you have a new partner to help with stuff like this now. (Yes, she may be annoyed, but equally it lets her know you're not going to be her chum with stuff like that.)

It's up to you what you do. What would help you most at this point do you think? BTW, I'm not suggesting being a bit ornery with anything parental - but the whole book lending, TV programme thing is different I think.

JMHO of course xx
