    ive already told him he can have the furniture for £300 as it will cost him a heck of a lot more than that to replace. No,i dont really want the mattress back, but i know of a charity shop that sells furniture who will no doubt be glad of a mattress worth £150! I still have the look on his face when i turned up with a policeman last time,priceless :D my dughter has just told me that my ex still has all my furniture still.

    I don't think places purchase previously owned mattress's.
    So your daughter is HIS daughter too?
    the plot thickens :o
  • yes,the plot thickens!

    Ok, we were together for over six years,hes 29,im 25,DD is 6 (do the maths)ALWAYS bought the furniture (changed mind/style alot) I left him after six years of abuse/torment/whatever you want to call it and the fact he screwed anything with a pulse.

    Ok, its not fair or right, but I now think maybe you should just let it go.

    For the sake of £600 (and is that what it cost you? Because if it is its worth a lot less now) don't risk starting a major conflict with your 6 year old's father over a mattress you would just throw away anyway.

    Hmm sounds like my kinda guy, tell him if he needs any backup , I can help ;)
    Anyways that aside, what attracted you to him in the 1st place and then to go on and have a child with him? It's a shame young girls cannot detect who's cool and who's a fool when they meet guys.
    I think you should not stress yourself by worrying over the furniture, besides your daughter has use of it when she visits :o
  • no,it all cost about £2k new,£600 is just what im guessing its worth now. we dont talk anyway, i just want back whats mine. he can keep the mattress if he really wants it.
    ;)
  • shes hardly ever there! shes either with me or her nan (his mum) and obviously i would leave DD's things for her there. as for the attraction, i have no idea,it was all a blur thanks to my friend jack daniels,ha!

    I would forget the stuff and get on with my life, instead of looking for confrontations with an ex who still seems to be on your thoughts. They're only things; one ex owed me a few hundred pounds, but it's not worth the hassle of still having her in my life.

    Time to move on (oh, and return the keys).
    Been away for a while.
