    Who knows?

    One way or another - the vendors reactions are not logical and rational = so they are irrelevant then and should be ignored.

    Involving a shopping bag if I remember.

    I'm glad people still remember that thread.

    I'd forgotten the shopping bag, but wasn't there something about living in a caravan on the drive over Christmas, as well as the dog?

    Yes indeed...

    I remember both those threads.

    Cue for someone to give us a link to them...;)

    I'm sure it was a 'bag for life' wasn't it?

    I'd tell her she can take the stuff, but after she settles the 3k bill for storing them for her... ;)

    Thanks all for the advice. She has been knocking around again at mine and a relatives house. I'm getting pretty fed up and feeling harassed now. I have sent her a firm message to say we have already accommodated greatly, we will not meet any further requests and for her not to contact me anymore.

    She responds saying the she wants 'her belongings ie - the blinds and the carpets' and will call her solicitors.

    I think my original suspicions are correct - she wants money out of this, as she also said 'the carpets and blinds were not included as you refused to pay the full price'. Yes, I did - but she should have kept her obligation to remove before completion! Now it would be a major upheaval for us.

    I have honestly never heard of anything like this before!

    Just ignore the stupid woman. If she didn't remove everything before completion that's just tough.

    I would never ever have allowed her access.

    Her solicitors will tell her to jog on. She is very lucky you have been too nice, 99% of other people would have said jog on.
