She spent the first day packing her belongings
into boxes, crates and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come
and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at
'their' beautiful dining room table by candle-light,
put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of
spring-water.
When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods...
She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
When the husband returned with his new girlfriend,
all was bliss for the first few days.
Then slowly, the house began to smell...
They tried everything;
cleaning, mopping and airing the place out...
Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets
were steam cleaned.
Air fresheners were hung everywhere.
Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters,
during which they had to move out for a few days and
in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.
Nothing worked!!!
People stopped coming over to visit.
Repairmen refused to work in the house.
The maid quit.
Finally, they could not take the stench any longer
and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price
in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky
house.
Word got out and eventually even the local realtors
refused to return their calls.
Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money
from the bank to purchase a new place...
The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going.
He told her the saga of the rotting house.
She listened politely and said that she missed her
old home terribly and would be willing to reduce
her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house.
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell
was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth but only if she were
to sign the papers that very day.
She agreed and within the hour his lawyers
delivered the paperwork.
A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling
as they watched the moving company
pack everything to take to their new home...
And to spite the ex-wife,
they even took the curtain rods....
I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING,

Morning All!
Hope you're well.
Should be able to make some unexpected PAD's this week as the folks told me yesterday that they have transferred some money to my bank account towards the costs of this month's flight. I didn't ask for any help, nor expect it. In fact, I don't even remember telling them it was more expensive this month, but I suppose I may have.
Anyway, it will go straight to the Virgin CC when it arrives.
I have wonderful parents and I'm very lucky.
I will have to take a nice (belated) Mother's Day present with me when I visit. I had a webcam chat with my Mum yesterday, which I know she enjoyed.
