    I think you should tell her in a letter, that you are ending the friendship and she is not to contact you anymore.

    She is very rude and selfish, not to be grateful for all your help (and money)
    Friendship goes both ways and I bet she didn't do much for you!

    Good for you for trying to help, but ignore the ungrateful woman and get on with your life!

    Hiya just thought I'd drop in with an update.
    Her Ex has to go to the police as turns out I was getting off lightly with her temper tantrums.
    She has stopped harrasing me in the meantime and most people who were friendly with her before have wrote her off as a lost cause since they heard that she tried to "kidnap" her ex's cat and was waiting for him one night outside his work

    She sounds like a real trouble maker. You are best well rid of her. Don't give her any attention, in time she will get bored of harrassing you.

    Send all junk mail back to sender and be firm will any mystery callers that you want to be removed from their call list and will report them to ofcom if they keep on phoning. The mail and phone calls will stop eventually.

    Ignore her.

    TPS takes a few weeks to stop the calls etc.. when the phone rings answer and just say ou are registered with TPS and they will remove you from their call list.. or the most of them do.

    bin the mail.. problem solved.. or post it back.. 'return to sender'.. they soon get you off the mailing lists when you are costing them money!

    Block spam emails.. with most programmes you right click email and click 'block sender' ... sorted!!

    And as for rumours the answer to those is.. 'do I strike you as the kind of person to do that?' or a simple 'believe what you like' will suffice.. anyone who knows a loon knows what they are like because they have heard their fantasist blarb before.

    If she rings the response 'get lost psycho' (or words to that effect) might come in useful!

    I'd ignore her. If you meet and speak to her it'll encourage her to keep annoying you.

    Sorry guys this was back in May sometime. I signed up for TPS and MPS and it withered off recently and hopefully is gone altogether. Bad thing is she has started on her ex now with a more devilish plan than she had in mind for me.
