DD came home from spending 2 weeks with her father. I was told that a pair of pjs and a pair of trousers had been ruined in the wash and that they would pay for them.

I get home and discover they are totally trashed, So send a text saying ; i see what you mean, yes, £15 should cover it'

exdh then got cross and said i was two faced and nice tohim in person and sticking the boot in when i got home.

The next day i found a dress that had had the same treatment, He denied it and said if it was a bit stained i was being a snob and she could wear it, even though it was a red dress and is now the colour of purple sludge.

Just unpacked the rest of her clothes and found a fewmore items that have recieved the same treatment, including her favourite monsoon dress. I photographed it and sent it to him and he replied ' ffs there is nothing wrong with any of that'

even though the dress that was once coral is now sludge colour and patchy as hell.

Hes getting all aggressive and shouty atme about it, even though he did it and first offered to pay.

But he said he would pay. OP didn't demand anything!

He ruined the clothes, he said he would pay... now he is being a twat about it!

The only thing Vintage has done wrong is believe the pillock might have meant what he said!

(sorry vintage Smile)

I would ask him not to wash them again if he's having problems with his machine, send dirty items back in a plastic bag.

i usually say not to wash stuff as its not the first time hes done this, but, she was at his for 2 weeks i dont have 2 weeks worth of clothes.
I had to send all of her stuff as thats all i had.

If i ruined the clothes, no i wouldnt ask him to pay for them, why would i?

Don't offer what you don't want to deliver. Simple. He's an ass for offering and then retracting.

Also, laundry isn't hard to master. It doesn't take rocket science to understand how to sort colors, whites, and darks.
