DP cross there's no food - part 2

[droopyears]

I didn't realise I'd have to start a new thread - it's amazing the amount of people that have offered advice / made me laugh, it's appreciated

It was the strangest thing! Yes Yeo Valley yoghurts and milk

I've not been able to change the locks but I've double locked the door this afternoon, as he doesn't have a key for the bottom lock

I do however, have his bike at mine (which won't fit in my car, only his)

Tell him that you'll swap him his bike for your yoghurt tokens

Tell him to get on his bike and not bother coming back

How much will you get for the bike, worked out in grocery spend?

(not really joking at all)

OP!!! Love that you started a new thread!

I was fuming when I read about his last visit. Hogging your living room and being rude to your son (especially as you pointed out you'd have got short shrift if you'd dared to treat his the same way) and helping himself to the tokens YOU were collecting from stuff YOU'D paid for!

What an entitled arse. It's really "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine too" isn't it?

Don't be tempted to let him in. He's freeloaded far too long.

He’s a real leach. Your son is spot on and more mature.

Bloody well done on the the second lock 👍

As for his bike, he can collect it when he returns the milk tokens.

Oh, and if he’s “lost” the tokens, he can replace them with milk. And when he says it will go off, no it won’t because you will freeze it. It defrosts okay, just needs shaking to remix the fat that separates.

I can't believe a grown man in his 30s would bring his console round to his girlfriends house!

Even my 16 year old would understand this is rude!

It's called an EX-Box for a reason!

I really hope you had a lovely dinner out with your actual children and your son to be ex didn't turn up and try and ruin things.

how old is this twat-even your kids are more mature

Leave his bike outside the door with a note that reads FUCK OFF.

Wait until he asks about the bike. Decided a day and tell him you'll leave it outside. Make sure to puncture his tyres.

Text him saying all his shit, including his bike is outside your house and he needs to collect it. You owe this berk nothing.

Then block him.

I really would change the locks though - he could turn nasty and he is a thief. A friend of mine had a "mystery burglary" after dumping a cocklodger in waiting like this

Enjoy your meal out with your dc.

My son just wandered in and asked me why I was shaking my head and repeating "He took her Yeokens? Surely.... No... He stole her fucking Yeokens? No. No?"

He's really done you a favour OP by being so irredeemably, obviously shit. I honestly thought he would come creeping back, marginally improve his behaviour for a couple of weeks, then slowly revert, preferably after you'd agreed he could move in because mumsy was being sooo mean. And then in 6 months you'd be posting "I have a cocklodger, how can I make him pay his way?"

Massive, massive bullet dodged.

With this utter arseclown no longer draining your pockets, you'll have do much more time, money and energy to spend on yourself and your DC.

Hope your youngest is okay - but as PPs said, he's not losing a father figure of any sort, just an over-sized playmate.

Ask him to send the tokens back. Why on earth should he be entitled to take them without asking?

He really is a prize arse. Thief, too.

You'll be well rid when you've made it clear you're done.

Bizarrely, I noticed earlier that all the tokens have been removed from the milk and yoghurts in my fridge. I know he was collecting them, but so was I...
Wow!

Send a text asking him to post them to you, and get his stuff out of your house.
Horrid horrid man.

Wow! When you think you’ve heard it all... some prick drops the mic 🎤

Please book a locksmith.

Tell him straight that he is dumped and that he can collect his belongings from the front of your house at time on day. If they're not gone, you will donate them to charity

The bike has been kept in my conservatory for the past month - I must have bashed my ankle off the pedal every other day

I'll continue to double lock the door for the time being, it'll do the trick as he doesn't have a key for the bottom lock

Dinner was lovely tonight, the DC had the best time! We came back and played a board game and now we're all watching Great British Bake Off

I need to build up the energy to gather all his stuff together tomorrow, I'm finding stuff everywhere. I've not heard a peep from him which is making this a bit easier for me

It's funny my DHs first wife 29 years ago took his tiger tokens - he still mentions from time to time ! We've been married 27 years 😂

Well done @droopyears! He’s probably expecting you to come chasing after him so he can graciously forgive you and let you make it up to him...

Glad to hear you had a great dinner out with the DC.

I would be so tempted to let down a tyre of the bike. Just by letting the air out the valve. OK, after hearing about the tokens perhaps a small nail could be in the area of the tyre.

This has made me so happy! Thank god. Now don't cave if he gets in touch with you again. Tell him where he can shove his yoghurt tokens. Never thought I'd say that sentence.

Imagine the space, the time, the money AND tokens you will save, now he is out of your life. Especially as soon as the sodding bike has been relegated to the doorstep.

Enjoy it all, OP.
