Morning all.

Talking of Toast Toppers, he took 2 tins of that as well. Yes, really.

My pantry is now full of Heinz cheese ravioli and Tesco sausage and beans.

X-posted with you. My god, what a very strange man.

Just think, OW probably hasn't realised what a crazy mess she's landed herself with.

At least you can see the real him, chutney, cat food, sponges and all. You are the lucky one darling, you're free of him!

aftereight · 22/08/2012 18:51

Haha, that will make an amusing entry in your log of what's been happening when Grin
He really is on another planet, isn't he?

Quicksie · 22/08/2012 18:51

The thought of him spending ages gift wrapping cat food is rather amusing though.... He sounds like he is on the edge! I am sure the cats appreciated the effort.

Maybe he is hoping to smuggle everything back in to the house, one item at a time, under the gate! At least he didnt pick the locks this time!

stifnstav · 22/08/2012 18:52

I will henceforth call him Chutnob.

LouP19 · 22/08/2012 18:52

Oooh thanks for that suggestion sugarice. I rarely watch QVC, but sometimes when the world all seems a bit much I sneak a peak and can be transfixed for quite a while watching all manner of bollocks,........

There is a track on the CeLo Green album called 'fuck you' i do believe.

Well LouP

Fuck Him and his twattyness.

You are so much more without him.

Veggie Girls rock, I wouldnt date carnivores.

Stay Strong.

He will get exactly what he deserves in life. My ExDW did after she left me.... it took 10 years but it was so damn satisfiying when it did.

GeekLove · 22/08/2012 18:55

Gift wrapped cat food!?! Oh the nobgoblin!
I haven't much to say other than one day you can laugh at it and when he is grandstanding remember THe Box.

Is he a relation of Alan Partridge? The arrogance and fantasism really reminds me of him.

ComradeJing · 22/08/2012 18:55

Lou I'm SO glad the Dr was a wise one. Fingers crossed for therapy next week and sol tomorrow.

Also fingers crossed this thread is a more supportive one for you

Quicksie · 22/08/2012 18:56

Dont feel too bad about calling him Lou. I would have done. And yes that is obviously what he wants, but you are human, you are bound to want to know what the fuck he is playing at!

AgathaFusty · 22/08/2012 18:57

Yes, my thought too that he was trying to get in and couldn't get through the new gate lock. Which is good as it means he still doesn't know about the changed locks. He must have been hugely pissed off about the new heavy duty gate padlock Grin. Unfortunately, he can't really complain about that, because as the other one was picked by him, he left you with no choice but to replace it Grin Grin

CockyPants · 22/08/2012 18:58

Just read about the cat food. Sounds like he is trying to keep you sweet, just in case
A. OW dumps him. He will want to get back with you with a sob story....
B. he wants you to terminate as baby will get in the way of his chutney filled life
C. If you had the baby he does not want you to go to CSA.
D. If you divorce him he does not want to have to pay up, or at least, more than he has to. He is pretending to be reasonable so his lawyer can say this in court and make you look bad.
I've read some of your other posts on other topics, Lou, and I know you are not supposed to refer to other threads THIS MAN HAS ANGER ISSUES! HE IS ABUSIVE ! so his manipulation, his visits while you are out, to steal stuff, his texts, everything should tell you that CHUTNEY TWUNT should not be involved in mini Lous life and not your life either!
And FWIW I think GP is spot on with her comments that you may not meet mr right and thus give up a chance of motherhood if you end pregnancy. I was 35 and luckily met someone who wanted a child with me.
Sorry if this is upsetting, if so please say the word and I shall report my post and stay out of it! All the best, Lou.

AgathaFusty · 22/08/2012 18:59

Actually, I think I might be tempted to leave the gift wrapped stuff outside by the gate, so that he will see it looking all sodden, wet and rejected next time he comes calling when you are out.

MadBusLady · 22/08/2012 19:00

Don't worry, just back in the no contact saddle Smile

I go back and forth on the master manipulator thing. Sometimes he does seem to time things/actions/revelations to uncanny perfection, and other times he just seems cluelessly weird to no real purpose, and I wonder what on earth he thinks is going to happen as a result, if anything. Either way, best to not expose yourself to it.

GeekLove · 22/08/2012 19:02

I'd be tempted to post it back and not bother with paying so he has to pay charges. May be swap the cat food with bricks.

Take care Lou,

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 22/08/2012 19:03

The food is his Cat Maintenance payment.

Houseofplain · 22/08/2012 19:03

I reckon he was trying to get back in to take more stuff. In his little head. If he stole wiped out the house. He could at least say he's taken care of the cats and given you, your cd back.

LouP19 · 22/08/2012 19:14

Thank you everyone. Got a friend coming over in a bit, I'm so so tired. But at least I can have a laugh with her about the bloody gift box. I threw that away of course, but have kept the cat food.

On another note I've been invited to a BBQ on Sunday with a couple. I don't know the bloke and there will be 70+ people there. (It's a village bbq)

Part of me thinks 'Yay, do it, it'll be ok' and another part of me thinks it could be a very very lonely experience,......

DREADING the bank holiday, on top of everything else. Sad

Normal people do not gift wrap cat food .Ever !

That man is something short of a picnic .

I suspect all that chutney has seeped into and rotted his brain .

Make sure you get this bizarreness logged on record with your lawyer .

It's a bit like stalking IMO. Hmm

MushroomSoup · 22/08/2012 19:21

Hello Lou, just checking in.

I love Loumum, LouGP and LouBoss.
What fab backing singers to your solo career!

droves · 22/08/2012 19:23

BBQ sounds good , it's better to keep social life going .

Nothing will help you recover from this faster , than friends and being out having fun . Even if you have to force yourself out for the first few times , it's so worth it .

Smile
CockyPants · 22/08/2012 19:23

Goto the BBQ Lou. You will meet new people, find your own space in life, so to speak. And someone else will cook and wash up! What's not to like?

AgathaFusty · 22/08/2012 19:31

Is there a friend, or someone from work who might like to go to the BBQ with you?

ladyWordy · 22/08/2012 19:33

Garlic has him sussed once again. It really was about the CDs!! Shock And I still haven't got over her vision of him pootling about saying 'MY bucket, MY spoons'?.!

I don't blame you for phoning him Lou, you'd have to be superhuman to resist the urge. Really you would.

I'm a tad too young for it but am now hearing an old sci-fi theme tune that went
'you are now entering?. The Twilight Zone ?.!'

MadBusLady · 22/08/2012 19:39

Go along, get pissed try and see if you can have a nice time, and if it doesn't work, make your excuses Smile. If it's a village BBQ with lots of people that shouldn't be difficult at all, I expect a lot of people will be popping in and out.

biggestregret · 22/08/2012 19:42

Hi Lou,
I think he was definitely trying to get back in to get more of his stuff your stuff. Well done LouDad for sorting that padlock. I imagine the gift wrapped cat food is some underhand attempt at trying to placate you "oh look how much I love the cats, what a doting father I can be (to all my offspring, that is if I can't talk you into termination).

He is such a knob cheese it is unreal.

I think the BBQ might be better than you think and you can always make your excuses if you want to leave. A glass of wine when you get there before you go will help and I bet you will look gorgeous. You have a great sense of humour and I would have a giggle with you if I were there. Be brave!

Don't worry about ringing him. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
