so here's the story: I have 3 DDs and a 5mth old DS. One of the mums at my DDs school has 2 boys and a baby girl and after chatting we decided to swop outgrown clothes -my girls stuff for her boys stuff.

So first exchange was made and she got items from Next, Debenhams, Gap, Monsoon all in lovely condition - the stained/ play clothes I didnt send. I got stained, ripped, scruffy, faded stuff from Ethel Austin.....was a tad disappointed. Anyway, we just swopped another batch and same story again. I wouldnt mind but her DS is always immaculately dressed and doesnt seem to wear all this scruffy crap she is giving me. Also, my mum bought youngest DD a beautiful duffle coat from monsoon that she has been wearing this winter and this 'friend' has let it be known that she expects this coat for her DD next winter.

ANyway, I have now discovered that alot of the clothing I have given to her for her DD is being sold on ebay along with the decent stuff her DS has outgrown! Shall I confront her or just not give anything else.

I'm really cross about this

keep us posted would you

well, she wasn't dropping her DS off this morning....it was Grandma so missed the opportunity.

lol at bidding on the items - I might email and ask if I can collect to avoid postage and sign with my full name so she knows I know

Maybe she's read this post and knows you are on to her - so she got Granny to do the dropping off this morning!!

Have you seen her yet?

[SHOCK] Cheeky sod! No wonder youre miffed - I'd be fairly put out. I would confront her to some extent personally and stop any swaps etc - sorry youve been taken advantage of!

(But also looking forward to hearing what you said to her!)
