I'm so cross and upset I can't think too much about this. But know you're wise women and may have some sage words for me
In tough times I put some heirloom diamond jewellery up for sale through a jeweller I have known loosely for a couple of years. The agreement was he'd take a commission on the sale price. Left it with him and checked in every couple of weeks; each time was told it hadn't sold, but that Christmas was coming up, or valentines day, leave it for a bit and see. So eventually I thought he hadn't had any luck so I'd get it back from him and try selling through another channel. And the bastard buggering bastard bastard went into administration in early December. About a week after I last spike to him. Taking my bastard diamonds with him.
I've found out who the administrator is and spoke to them this week. They've put me on the creditors list, but she's advised I'm unlikely to get anything back at all, and if so it'll just be pennies in the pound. The jewellery was worth over £7,000. I'm speechless. And gutted. I was relying on that money.
That's it really. I know this is a state of mind, and I just need to accept its gone and reassess. But it bloody stings, feels just so unfair - I trusted that bloody bastard and he knew my situation. And I'm just impotently sitting here swearing and imagining repeatedly stuffing utility bills down his throat until he stops squealing. Bastard buggering bloody bastard.
