The sales page being private is an interesting move, I guess so she can limit what her ex or people close to him can see. I would hazard a further guess that potentially some of what she’s selling she didn’t pay for.

Also she's going to do a sale in may. Everything unsold after 5pm will be free. She said she would also post her address closer to the time, so she really is leaving. If I'm being honest I feel sorry for her and how she got trapped longer then what was agreed and she not really feel settled.

It's random stuff so far like her bike trailer, some shoes, waffle maker, outside chair, two wardrobes (ikea and cox and cox), bookcase, bureau, indoor baskets, small freezer. I think the cox and cox wardrobe was the most expensive (£825, someone bought it already for £200).

The kids pottery barn wardrobe was £1000+ down to £400. Obviously a gifted item.

I did like the basket .

Who in their right mind would pay £400 let alone £1400 for that??

The basket was my favourite too, lol.

It looks just like the bookcase I got from Argos for £70

Thought the doll house was for sale at first.

I am amazed that her ex has agreed for her to take the kids.

Has he?

 

[Macaron3105]

Has he?

I would assume he has transferred with his work?

Do we know that all this prep is any more than the wishful thinking? Who knows? Let’s see where they all are in 6 months

 

[Macaron3105]

Surely she wouldn’t sell all of her stuff if it wasn’t going to happen? Hope it does happen for her sake as she clearly isn’t happy here.

Who knows. I’m sorry she is unhappy but the main focus needs to be on what is in the children’s best interests which often appears to be singularly missing from any of the planning

Nothing is set in stone. Hope they find something that works for the kids.

Her husband's profile says partner at his current law firm.

I've just spotted her house up for rent (from June) on rightmove, so looks like she's definitely going! I'm pretty sure it's hers, but I think the agents have used old photos from before she tarted it up after she moved in.

Makes sense the yard sale is in may. Giving things away for free just because she needs it gone.

 

[carriebooboo]

She's lowered the price to £350 (originally £1400). I seriously wouldn't pay more than a £100 for that second hand and it would need to be in pristine condition.

The only way I can see a move working is if she’s persuaded her ex to move back too. Which is feasible although doesn’t really align with these bitter comments.

Knowing her ex a bit, I obviously have no idea what he would be like as a partner, and it’s always difficult to get your head around when it turns out that someone who seems nice is not nice in a relationship. I also know her a bit too though and I know that she does struggle when the world does not revolve around her enough, and she does therefore tend to try to convince others to do things they don’t want to do to fit her needs. She has also portrayed me to others in a negative way (nothing major) to fit her narrative despite me being very nice to her.

None of that surprises me tbh. I think she’s quite manipulative. I can imagine that she’s one those people who’s lovely to you when she thinks you can be useful but then you’re dropped like a hot stone when you’re not.

 

[Macaron3105]

I know her ex a bit too. He dated someone in my circle for circa 6 months. He didn’t treat her nicely, judging by her account of things. HM was also a factor in why they split up too. Don’t want to say too much here.

 

[Affiliatemebaby]

Interesting. I knew him in a totally impersonal context so only saw his surface self. Same context for both but Bethie approaches life differently!

 

[rainbowlemon]

She posted about selling on Vinted too.

£900 Tiffany and Co jewellery necklace included.

 

[carriebooboo]

Guess she didn't square things with the ex before initiating the move. What a mess.
