So sorry for the delay. I know I promised I'd do another thread after dinner last night.
Then sort of had second thoughts as some posters started commenting on my previous thread that I was enjoying the drama, then tattle started getting involved etc etc.

I have been blocked on social media, as well as family and friends. We've all been turfed out but who cares. I have my lovely shoes back.

Letter was sent signed for today.
Hopefully she receives it tomorrow!

Thanks again for everyone who helped.

A happy ending (and £300 odd short) but that's what I'm aiming to get back now.

You’ll never see that money again so try to write it off as a lesson learnt. Enjoy your beautiful shows.

AutumnFroglets · 02/10/2023 17:51

oh those shoes are beautiful, no wonder you wanted them back.

Be prepared to wave byebye to the money. Sometimes the stress it brings you isn't worth it.

Meadowdog · 02/10/2023 17:53

Money well spent in getting rid of this "friend" once and for all.

CaveMum · 02/10/2023 17:55

Glad you’ve got them back safely. I doubt you’ll hear from CF again.

Meeting · 02/10/2023 17:57

How many friends in total did she owe money to in the end?

LunaLoveFood · 02/10/2023 17:58

They are beautiful. So glad you've got them back.

MrsLeonFarrell · 02/10/2023 17:59

What beautiful shoes, I'm glad you have them back safely and in what looks like great condition.

jollygreenpea · 02/10/2023 18:00

I so happy for you that your shoes are back, they are beautiful, though I couldn't walk in them. :)

Iamclearlyamug · 02/10/2023 18:01

Wow amazing shoes!

I really hope you get the money back from the CF, and if you don't at least the cow has run out of people to take advantage of in future!

PaminaMozart · 02/10/2023 18:03

These are gorgeous!!
But how do you actually walk in them... 😂

MotherofTerriers · 02/10/2023 18:06

Well done!

RichardArmitagesWife · 02/10/2023 18:08

Incredible shoes, I'm glad you have them back!

You just stand still and look fantastic 😁

They are amazing. I can't think she ever wore them because they are so astonishingly pristine. To add insult to injury, I wonder if she faked the whole story of needing them just to get an expensive pair of shoes from you that she could take to the pawnbroker... Or did you see a photograph of her at the event wearing the Louboutins I'm rambling off down Conspiracy Cul de Sac 🤔 !

PinkMoscatoLover · 02/10/2023 18:20

Lovely shoes😍

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 02/10/2023 18:20

Please could I borrow them?

LakeTiticaca · 02/10/2023 18:21

Great news!! With friends like her, who needs enemies? 🤣

GiantPandaAttacks · 02/10/2023 18:21

The shoes are stunning. What did ‘itsmemariaimsosorry’ post on the original thread? It’s deleted now!

Octobermeterreadtime · 02/10/2023 18:22

Good riddance to bad rubbish op... Your shoes are beautiful! I had similar style and sparkle but not the Real Deal!!

DollieBantrysPantry · 02/10/2023 18:24

The shoes are lovely and its great you now have them back

frazzledasarock · 02/10/2023 18:24

Could you take her to small claims using the text messages as back up and the pawn shop invoice ?

Scorchio84 · 02/10/2023 18:32

Beautiful shoes! It's a sting in the tail that you had to "buy" them back but honestly I'd have done the same, especially with so many sentimental memories attached to them, what an absolutely CF! I have a (very boring in comparison) black pair of Louboutins & honestly they are agony to walk & stand in but they are absolutely worth it & I always feel a bit "extra" when I wear them, which for obvious reasons isn't very often! Never be parted from them again...

Something similar has happened round here. Someone set herself up as a cleaner and had two FB pages (had one and then had to make another as people were starting to catch on). She would take money as a deposit and then not turn up - she was ill / her kids were in hospital, etc.
Finally, people started to post on the local FB page about her. At first the posts were deleted by admins as they named her, but then there were so many, they left them up. It's all been reported to the police. It turns out she owes thousands and it goes back around two years. She must have been a good manipulator and actor.

SauvignonBlanche · 02/10/2023 18:32

Are they definitely your original ones?
