At my ex p (father of my dd) who has not yet managed to keep to a maintenance payment and only just manages to see her once a month when he thought that me buying her stuff from car boots highly funny.
Apparently its bloody hilarious that someone 'posh like me' has resorted to haggling over other peoples cast offs.
I just laughed in his face - she wants for nothing except a decent father - and you can't buy them from a car boot sale which is a shame!

TBH I am just doing it alone, she will be grounded and want for nothing, even if not all new...she knows him unfortunately so reluctant to stop access and want her to have his love rather than not know him.
I am proud of my eye for a bargain and laughing at his brass neck was a moment of clarity for me! Tosser!!!!

Car boot sale items are not just bargains, but its also recycling, and not always junk, i got my ds2 a brand new pair of clark's shoes for £2.50, i usually pay £20-£30 for them in the shops.

He just proved what an arse wipe he is, he should have been embarrassed at his lack of financial input, not laughing, the tosser

Tess, good for you. He is a nob. My 16 yo dd commented the other day that she's really impressed because although there isn't much money around, they (she and ds) seem to have everything they need. Proud mother moment. We haven't had maintenance for 5 years.

Its do-able, may not be easy, but do-able.
