    Thank you CH27. I'll try the shop where it was bought. I still have the diamond certificate and the jeweller's insurance valuation, so that would be a good place to start.

    Try several jewellers !!!

    There will be a difference

    I will, thank you. No idea how much I'll get for them but I'll find out soon enough...

    can you check everything to make sure he has not put a hidden camera in the house so he can keep an eye on you?.

    Sorry peeps, need to step in here and jump on this one HARD. Unless the gentleman concerned is an expert in either surveillance, counter surveillance or miniaturised electronics, or has the will and the money to pay an expert in these things, there is next to no chance that this is at all a concern. Tayforth has enough stress at the moment without nonsensical "Mission Impossible" type conjecture. And in the 0.00001% chance the he had done it, it would be running from a battery source so would not last long (unless tapped into mains power, unlikely and easy to find), what is she doing that is remotely suspicious? I very much doubt there is anything to see! So please, well intentioned though it may be - really not worth upsetting Tayforth with this sort of stuff!

    Might buy a laptop.Wouldn't it be illegal for him to do that, and what about cameras? I'm not very well up on this kind of thing.

    Don't use the shared PC, buy yourself a used laptop. Best think to do is destroy the PC unless you can have it professionally "cleaned" although there will probably still be data traces. Don't take the chance - nothing sinister, just common sense and also another shared possession to dispose of, along with any memories, electronic or real!.

    I'll stop worrying about this, then. But I do thank those who brought up the possibility too - there are so many things that I haven't thought about and it's good to be aware of risks xx

    Thank you. I will probably do this. Going to buy a new TV this evening, any recommendations?

    married for less than a year.

    In that case you will probably both just be put in the same position you started (but ask your solicitor about this).

    If you have to get a divorce, you cannot start proceedings until you have been married one year (don't know about annulments, and anyway don't let that delay you getting advice).

    Does he know you have a pot of savings? If so, at least be prepared for him to try and get his hands on some of it. I'd take steps that might reduce this risk - buying a car, paying off debts, closing accounts and moving money around (that's not legal advice by the way, just what I would do....)

    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    Thanks. He knows how much I have. He has his own savings, and tbh I've made him more sensible with money.

    If he so much as tries to claim a penny of my money, I'll make sure that everyone knows about it. There's nothing worse than a money-grubber.

    I have no debts, btw.

    How do you move money around?

    Hi Tay - isn't it about time you changed the title of this thread?? How about

    "Ding Dong the Barstewards Gone!"

    or

    "The rest of my life has finally begun"

    or

    "Free at last and I'm brilliant!"

    or

    "Good riddance"

    Just a few ideas! :D
