Seen a very amusing thread on facebook and it got me thinking about things my ex took from my house when i kicked him out
• a highland cow ornament he bought me for my birthday ahich he later sold for £5 on facebook
• the hair dryer he bought me the week before as mine blew up! (Hes bald so 🤣🤷‍♀️)
• my bathroom mirror (glad anyway as it needed cleaning lmao)
• my brand bew bottle of shaving foam (he shaved his head lmao)
• the netflix and disney+ passwords which he promptly changed (not that i used them anyhow it was only ever him lmao)

i mean im still a bit confused by it all 🤣😵‍💫 but oh so worth it to be free of him! Surely other people have some funnier stories! Need a good giggle!

ps - Pic is the thread i read earlier 🤓

He took the strimmer but forgot to take the cutting blade or cord attachment so it would have been of no use. He also took the backpack weed sprayer. This man never even set foot in the garden so it was odd.

He ordered a skip a week for a while. The skips and he would turn up randomly and unannounced. He did it to show that he was still in control and could do what he wanted. He'd left all his clothes behind for the same reason. I threw all his made to measure suits & shirts out of an upstairs window into one of the skips as he drove off from one random visit. It was pleasing to watch him reverse and climb around the skip trying to retrieve them. I had the locks changed the next day.

When we were finalising transferring some of pension to me they wanted a copy of my ( foreign) birth certificate. Instead of believing me that I did not have a copy at hand and would have to get one sent by my mother, he went through my documents and sent the pension people a copy of my (foreign) baptism certificate thinking it was the birth certificate. 😂.
Therefore I had to send an embarrassing email to those people, explaining why they had received my baptism certificate.

@kittykat36 The most entertaining was the Final Hearing. Bastard dragged it all through the Courts only to end up with practically nothing, including having to sign over the pension fund he had accumulated prior to the marriage.

Don't get mad, get a shit hot lawyer and barrister. 😎
