Link to previous thread:

http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4908395-is-this-cf-and-have-i-been-out-of-order

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.

So glad you got them back! And are sending her a letter. Hoping for an update on that!

Grrrpredictivetex · 02/10/2023 18:36

Lovely shoes. Keep them close from now on.

SwishSwishBisch · 02/10/2023 18:36

Glad you’ve been reunited!

FluffyCatBonzo · 02/10/2023 18:37

Is that image from your SM?

Pleased you got your shoes back! Unbelievable, what that’s so called friend did.

SerafinasGoose · 02/10/2023 18:44

What a lovely, thoughtful brother you have, @IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel! No wonder you wanted them back; such a kind gesture to give you these for your wedding.

What CF ex-friend did was unconscionable.

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

Something along the lines of
'It's out now and everyone knows (think about your nickname, Maria) or some bollocks.

My name is definitely not Maria, neither are my nicknames!

No, an image from the group chat with friends in.

I haven't put anything about it on SM, that would cause a bit stir!

I don't think you were the only one who thought it was a troll, I made tattle and they mostly thought I was a troll too Grin

You just stand still and look fantastic 😁

Or better still, sit down and look fantastic!

Whatsinthefridge · 02/10/2023 18:48

Dem b wizzidy oz shoes 😊

honkersbonkers38 · 02/10/2023 18:48

I'm glad you posted - I was wondering if you'd got them back. I'm so pleased you did. They are lovely, and mean a lot to you - and long after you stop being able to wear them, display them!

HoHoHoliday · 02/10/2023 18:51

Oh my, those shoes are absolutely stunning! I felt a little flutter when I saw the photo. I'm so pleased for you that you have them back. Fingers crossed she refunds you, but even if she doesn't, you are well rid of her.

Are they definitely your original ones?

Are you asking because they don’t have red soles? (Unless it’s the lighting?).

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

I’d be chasing the pawnbroker. On production of a crime number they should have handed them over without charge as the OP has provenance of ownership.

Frumpylumpyvixen · 02/10/2023 18:52

I'm guessing one of your future Mumsnet titles will be: I once lent a 'Friend' my nicest shoes, AMA. 🤣🤣

IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel · 02/10/2023 18:56

@willWillSmithsmith they have red bottoms, not red soles.

The inside is a beige yellow colour.
The bottoms are very much red. Scuffed a little (where the ball of your foot goes) but they were that way when I handed them over to CF.

@willWillSmithsmith are you watching this thread on a black & white telly? You can see the red soles perfectly clearly!

IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel · 02/10/2023 18:57

In regards to the pawn broker, I am chasing them. I've already provided them with a crime reference number.

Thing is, I can't really pursue CF for the moment and the pawn broker..
Can I?

Very glam OP, hope everything gets sorted out to your liking x

Hellodarknessmyoldpal · 02/10/2023 19:01

Love the shoes 😍. Your ex friend is awful. So glad you got them back.
