    Also agree - give him a deadline or get rid. Could you put it in bin liners and dump it in his tidy new garden when he's out.

    Someone I used to work with years ago put everything in bin liners and took it to the workplace of the woman her husband had left her for saying you've got him now take his rubbish too.

    You're doing really well, time to take charge xx

    I actually love this idea and may steal it for myself. I have been adding one or two of my ex's things to each bag of rubbish I put out. Figure if it was important he'd have asked for it by now.
  • Echo the others EE give him a deadline and then I'd just dump it on his doorstep (well we all know I wouldn't :o but it's definitely time for him to take all his stuff.

    Hope you're okay

    To be read tongue in cheek folks!


    I think I have got a new MMD to go in the weekly email. I still have some of exHs things from our divorce almost 30 years ago, I've even moved house with them. Do you think I am justified in selling off what I have on ebay? Although I have to confess that the thought of a bonfire does have some appeal. Or should I really P*** him off & parcel it all up & send it to him?

    Leave it in his garden bad memory, preferably on his front lawn :)

    My mum hung on to some of my dad's things long after he left. I'd have thrown them out.

  • I parcelled up all my ex's stuff but somehow managed to connect a hammer to his favourite crystal brandy glass before he picked the stuff up
    Oops - accidents happen :rotfl:
  • Thanks ladies - there is not much left too be honest....as my house is so messy I come across stuff every so often and I have a bag on the go which I add his stuff to and then take it round when its full, its a stealth way of getting it to his as 1 bag is nothing really is it......well in his mind it isn't!!!

    He makes me laugh really as his house is quite messy and he has a cleaner every 2 weeks. He had the cheek to message me one Saturday at 10.30am to tell me he'd done all his house work already - you can imagine my reaction to that one - twit!!!!

    As part of my 2019 plans I am going to write a list room by room of everything which needs doing and then make sure I do at least 1- 2 things a week from it, some of it will be small stuff but others will be larger and will take some saving and time but I am determined to get my house in order and put my own stamp on it.
