I don't think your post took very long to approve, considering it was about a week. Some posts take longer, some shorter. A lot can happen between the time of submitting and approving.

I hope she replies to you or refunds you. In the future, I'd make sure and only mention your refund, not your friends. Your friend (Ange) can make a post here, if they would like. Just stating this a second time, in case you have further contact. It's just bad form to mention your friend in every single note/message/email.
