Not heard from my ex for few years- we broke up about 5 years ago after a few years together.
His parents gave my dc (not his dc) one of those meerkats you get free when using the website to get insurance.
Today I get: 'Hi, how are you? Can I collect my mum's meerkat if X has finished playing with it. Are you still at [address]? I can do any day next week. Ta.'
I mean, they are now a teenager so have indeed finished playing with Sergei.
My guess is he's split up with his latest victim and this was the best reason he could think of to get in touch. What a plonker.
He's not having him!!
