To be very upset by friend demanding something back given to me 15 years ago??

[rockinhippy]

I'll try not to ramble, but already feeling ill & now very upset, so excuse me if I do....I would apreciate opinions as to whether or not I am being unreasonable in, a being upset, & b, refusing.

Some 16 odd years ago, probably much more, ........my friend ...(who is one of my DDs 2 GodMums) gave me a vintage astrakan coat, passed to her by her uncle, but not her style at all, but very much mine..........she said at the time something along the lines of "if you change your mind & don't wear it, or want it in future, don't get rid of it, but let me have it back, maybe I'll keep it or pass it on"

Now I love this coat, repaired the lining & keep it for winter going out for special occasions & have looked after it well, so its still in as new condition

the other day I recieved an e-mail, telling me her DD now 17 had been looking through old family photos, & has fell in love with this coat...& wondered if I still had it & was it used..& could she have it back....at first I was confused & thought she meant a 1 she had passed over to my DD....

e-mail yesterday clarified what she meant....so I replied saying, yes, I still love it & wear it with pride & even included a recent photo (we don't live close to each other anymore)

Just now recieved a reply along the lines of....

Sadly DD feels just as strongly about the coat & DD takes precedence over friend, will be popping down to your town next Monday I will collect it then

oh, and the ... are extremely tiresome..... to read....so nul points there.....too

You didn't really borrow a coat at all did you OP?

You borrowed 50 quid or something.

ALL of this is made up.

OOOH it's Daft Punk trying on a new persona - she also does tiresome ....

oh em gee GOML

notsureatall, because when she gave it to me, she said she wanted it to go to someone who would love & treasure it always, & thats why she chose me t have it.............

with hindsight, that should of been a clue...lol

lol?

oh lol off.

pedantic Tw**t, I should imagine you spit on everyone....its all that crayon munching....must cause havoc with ones teeth

So nutty ex has the fake murdered baby lamb fetus kidney loaned gift 50s/70s coat, then?

Well get him on here, and keep this freakshow running.

lolol

Fuckinell BALD, step away from the hippy, think she has had some funny fags

[jealous]

on 2nd page only............is that DEFINITELY what the friend said all those years ago?? I mean - I can hardly remember what someone said to me last week I wouldn't have a cat in hells chances of remembering what someone said to me be 15yrs ago

ok - forget that last post - I see from this last page that things have taken a twisty tale of of a route...........would someone care to fill me in please

'faints' at the teeny weeny bit where op says actually i don't even have it anymore.

OMG, so what was the POINT of any of this!!

crayon-munching sounds really rude

fnaaaaaaaar

I've just read every post and have finished in a parallel universe!

Sheep, emmerdale, sex, lies and astrakan - and lol-ing to boot!

She has a pure cheek. give her it back. Hang it on your front door and be out when she calls. I agree she's pandering to a spoilt child. Would be different if you didnt use it but the fact she knows you do is outragous

So all this about how much you love the coat and considered it a gift and your friend is BU for wanting to pass it on to her DD, that was all because actually you don't have it any more, and are therefore not in a position to give it back. You would rather be all aghast at her unreasonableness for asking for it back than have to explain that you haven't got it and can't in fact give it back, making you at fault rather than her.

I have wasted far too much of my life on this thread.

Think I've caught up now - can I come out
of remedial now please.

Can I just go back to my dead sheep on Emmerdale - this is a long shot - but wasnt that 15 years ago also - your ex didnt work in a special effects department perchance OP ? By george I think I've cracked it !!... the coat was made into dead sheep.

If you originally thought she was asking about a coat you don´t like, why not just offer it back?

When it was about a stolen coat-why not just tell her?

OP-sorry, but I don´t get your reaction at all & am perhaps beginning to understand why she responded how she did-to get the bloody point across & cut through your rambling!

My head hurts..

OP I bet you DO still have it, you've just backtracked and decided to make out it was stolen, to give MNers an explanation of why you are keeping it regardless of your friend's claim on it. You sent her a recent photo of you in a different coat?? I hope this piece of worn to shreds old tut fabulous fashion-forward vintage item is worth all this lying and subterfuge.

Good luck with that. See you on Judge Judy!

Suda - you fuckin loon .
