Link to previous thread:

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.

Oh my they are pretty! I’d break my ankles trying to walk in them but would take the chance! Glad you got them back!

Inkpotlover · 02/10/2023 19:04

They are gorgeous! Well done your brother for buying them in the first place. So pleased you got them back.

VariantHela · 02/10/2023 19:09

Glad you got them back!

As for tattle, it's a cesspool for those with too much time on their hands!

Cowhen · 02/10/2023 19:09

Thanks for the new thread, OP. Ignore the haters. There's a big difference between loving the drama and venting about an annoying situation. AND there are lots of people (including me) following with interest, so it's community-minded of you to keep giving updates. 🙂

Glad you got your shoes back! They're lovely.

Whatsinthefridge · 02/10/2023 19:12

Wheres the letter? Have I missed the letter?

Purplebunnie · 02/10/2023 19:13

Back in the day I would have killed to own those shoes, they are gorgeous

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

I was asking as I don’t imagine that it would be unheard of for a pawnbroker to deal with counterfeit goods.

The soles look red to me!

SerafinasGoose · 02/10/2023 19:14

I know I'm out of touch, but who in the hell are 'tattle?' The fun police?

TakeMe2Insanity · 02/10/2023 19:14

So pleased for you. Lesson learned for you never to lend out sentimental things.

Daleksatemyshed · 02/10/2023 19:26

Amazing shoes Op, I can see why you wanted them back so much. The saddest part of this whole affair is that because you trusted her, so did all your friends, and she's used it to take money off them. I've been burnt this way and now there are very few people I'd lend money, it's not worth the hassle

Jacopo · 02/10/2023 18:56

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

Ha no 😄 I honestly can’t see the red. 😳 maybe I’m losing some colour in my vision, I am very shortsighted. 🤓

Apologies OP.

AndromacheAstyanax · 02/10/2023 19:29

I’m glad you have them back. And if you haven’t yet read it, I recommend Jo-Jo Moyes’ Someone Else’s Shoes, which is an engaging and often amusing story, involving a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. (Having never heard of them when I read it, still less owned a pair, I had to Google them!) After your ordeal you may find the book light relief!

BarryTaylor · 02/10/2023 19:41

Even I think they look fantastic!

Coffeepot72 · 02/10/2023 19:44

PaminaMozart · 02/10/2023 18:03

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

I think I could just about manage to stand in them. But walk, no! But they are gorgeous

NBF · 02/10/2023 19:44

Glad to see the shoes back in your care.

I've been sat with my popcorn watching it all unfold 😂
I would pursue her at small claims court for certain and I would report the situation to the National Pawnbrokers Association - you might not get any resolution from the pawnbrokers but having it noted that they were handling what was essentially stolen goods will be useful for others.

I hope your group of friends are doing ok after the revelations

Soubriquet · 02/10/2023 19:47

Lovely shoes. I wouldn’t pay 3/4 figures for them but they are really nice shoes

VivaLaVolvo · 02/10/2023 19:48

SauvignonBlanche · 02/10/2023 18:32

Are they definitely your original ones?

I thought that
Op said they were a limited edition but they look like the standard ones still sold

FluffyCatBonzo · 02/10/2023 19:53

Have you had them reheeled @IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel ?

Blueink · 02/10/2023 19:55

friskybivalves · 02/10/2023 18:15

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 🤔 !

I get where you are coming from here. They do look pristine!

HermioneWeasley · 02/10/2023 20:02

Another one who missed the letter - can you repost @IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel

Allthingsbrightandbeautifulx · 02/10/2023 20:09

Fabulous shoes 👠 So happy you got them back.

IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel · 02/10/2023 20:09

They are definitely my shoes. I haven't had them rehealed, they've only been worn a couple of times.

They still sell that particular style but not in that colour.. I don't think anyway. My brother was under the impression they were limited edition. It's one of their classic shaped shoes though so the actual shoe is still on sale and always will be.

It's sad that people need to google / reverse search my images to make sure I'm not trolling everyone but I guess this place is filled with trolls so I don't blame anyone.

Wonder if any of the tattle readers are on here yet!

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

3 of us in our group..

No idea who else she owes money to but I doubt it's just us by any means!

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 02/10/2023 18:20

Please could I borrow them?

Of course! I've never been burnt before so go ahead!

Anyone else? Feel free to form a queue Grin

Gorgeous shoes - my SIL has a similar pair - I’m very jealous!
