Hi Guys I know I am a pain but I am really upset.

[Karenthetoadslayer]

Toad must have broken into the house when we were away and took a large and valuable cutlery set that my parents gave me. Previously I had the set in storage, but I took everything out of storage at the beginning of the year and when we went on holiday, I put valuables in a "secret place" in the house.

I just wanted to put everything back and realised the set is missing. He was after that and tried to take it, when he got evicted (I had covered the empty boxes and saw that these had been messed with).

I have no evidence that he took it, of course.

I wondered why he had taken the silver polish - now I know!

He's such a charmer. I can't imagine why you would want to be without him, Karen

Any movement on the court date yet?

No court date so far.

I have to do something.

Karen, don't accept any e-mails. You have no obligation to him any longer.
ALL contact should be through your solicitor.

Thank you Frances I cannot afford to pay for all communication through my solicitor - too much stuff to sort out. Of course he takes advantage, but I just have to get on with it. I seem to grow a thicker skin, as I go along.

Keep strong --
