And the first text came through on cue (nearly - was expecting it tomorrow morning. I can't believe how I handled it - sorry to let some anger creep into the replies but being Clark Kent wasn't working (doormat mode)
Morning ken, hope you had a good weekend. Thank you for sending my camera with karin. I do appreciate it. I need the cable to. Regarding the money I need atleast R2500 to survive. Please let me know when I can come and fetch the money. Thank you. Have a nice day.
----- Phone call set a boundry and I put phone down (replies cut out but most were polite until the end)
Hi honey! Hows your day going. Saw you yesterday - looking good. Remembered it was Xmas in July lunch. was confused about Anco's birthday. Yadayada. Doing my best. Left short of money but didn't mind. Dogs and I on biscuits. THHEN she said "Oh please Ken everybody knows... and said it was all bullsh1t. Bullsh1t I said was very indignant. I'll call you later and put the phone down.

W I have nothing to say ken. You had your chance and you screw it up. Let me know, if you are going to give me the money or if I should phone the women at the court.
M Do what you feel you need to do. It takes 2 to screw;-)
W Are you going to give me the money tom or not. I am trying to do this in a civil manner. Let me know, if you want to do it the same way or not. I have given you everything I had. And you through it all back in my face.
