English translation:When was I supposed to pick you (it?) up?
Explanation:
This is, obviously, dialect. I'm not entirely which dialect it is, but it could have one of two possible meanings. Hard to tell really.

Når skulle jeg hente det (When was I supposed to pick it up?)
Når skulle jeg hente deg (When was I supposed to pick you up?)

I would assume the latter is correct. The only uncertainty is whether 'de' is supposed to be 'it' (det) or 'you' (deg). This is text talk, hard to tell for sure.

agree  Per Bergvall: A third possibility is 'dere' (plural you), but my money's on 'deg'.
