To have just laughed.....

[tessofthedurbervilles]

At my ex p (father of my dd) who has not yet managed to keep to a maintenance payment and only just manages to see her once a month when he thought that me buying her stuff from car boots highly funny.
Apparently its bloody hilarious that someone 'posh like me' has resorted to haggling over other peoples cast offs.
I just laughed in his face - she wants for nothing except a decent father - and you can't buy them from a car boot sale which is a shame!

Well done you!! hes a nob.

i agree well done you!!

Did you say that to him after laughing? I hope so.

YANBU - what a twat. Some people are truly shameless.

so were does that leave you that he cannot pay your maintenance? and cant maintain financial commitment

what will you do now

TBH I am just doing it alone, she will be grounded and want for nothing, even if not all new...she knows him unfortunately so reluctant to stop access and want her to have his love rather than not know him.
I am proud of my eye for a bargain and laughing at his brass neck was a moment of clarity for me! Tosser!!!!

well done you he is a knob

christ i know value of money and love bargain too

Car boot sale items are not just bargains, but its also recycling, and not always junk, i got my ds2 a brand new pair of clark's shoes for £2.50, i usually pay £20-£30 for them in the shops.

He just proved what an arse wipe he is, he should have been embarrassed at his lack of financial input, not laughing, the tosser

never been to car boot sale,do love a rummage in charity shop though

Tess, good for you. He is a nob. My 16 yo dd commented the other day that she's really impressed because although there isn't much money around, they (she and ds) seem to have everything they need. Proud mother moment. We haven't had maintenance for 5 years.

Its do-able, may not be easy, but do-able.

What an absolute wankstain. Good retort.

Sorry, I left out YANBU!
