REVENGE
They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold.I don't mind if it is hot or cold, but I want it. The person bringing my car from Scotland with me paying ferry, tolls and flight back, has done a dirty on me, picked a quarrel, taken the huff and taken my car to Malaga, 80 km away, so I have to get it from there.
It will be a massive pain in the butt but that's not what the blog is about. I'm ANGRY. It has cost me hundreds of pounds, he's had the use of the car for a holiday with his best girl, and he's cheated at the last on the deal.
I fought myself for quite a while not to report it stolen. I'm not, after all, that nasty - but I do want satisfaction. It was a cheap trick to play, a completely selfish thing to do, and I don't care if my retaliation is silly, or childish, or a little bit evil so long as this anger stops eating me up. Hell, make me laugh, cheer me up, but spike my imagination.
Suggestions?

Didn't read the comments. Just wanna say love your new pic
It would seem you knew this bloke well and his temprement BUT YOU wanted your car so used him in a way, as he did you for a cheap touring holiday, You pished him off-----(he is not your sister)-----so he dumped your car and at great inconveince you had to go all the way to airport to pick it up.
Well now, you have your car, you've managed to pish your untrustworthy friend off, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT independant lady. The queen has spoken kinda of thing, do what i want, now you stamp your feet on here and F/B
slurring him
I offered to take them to the coach station and pay for the coach to Malaga, just under 2 hours, simples. Lots of other tourists were on it. I on the other hand had to walk to it, wait for it, find where my key had been left at a large international airport, and then search the fairly large parking lot for my car. And actually 6 hours was fairly inconvenient considering the deal. But then it's all me me me.
And I didn't say his name on FB. I just said the person bringing the car had defaulted on delivering it to me. I've known him for 6 years, he's an angry man but look around here on CS, lots of angry people. Life isn't easy and sometimes the only way we can cope is shouting back rather than cringing in a corner. This is an angry blog, after all. I felt sorry for him that his ex-wife fights him every step of the way re his access to kids, and takes every request he makes to court (he whinges about that a LOT, trashing her on FB). Well, now I understand why she does. People who re-write everything to their own convenience and don't see any problem in that whatsoever need to be controlled by law when it comes to kids.
This was the deal. I asked on Facebook if anyone was thinking of a holiday in Spain, and have copied and pasted what I wrote - I'd want my Toyota IQ driven over in September or thereabout, and will pay your ferry (or chunnel), the tolls, and your flight back to Edinburgh or Glasgow. If you take a tent, practically a free holiday and a fab time of year to visit Spain :D
You decide when the flight back needs to be booked, you can take a few days extra holiday once you've arrived and handed the car over.
He was the first to shout out. Not the only, but the first.
So yup you've now explained how he could read that as his right to take the car to the airport for me to fetch at the end of his holiday. Although transport to the airport wasn't originally offered, how dare I ask them to consider an airconditioned coach to the airport rather than me driving the round trip in the van, he OBVIOUSLY had no alternative but to steal the car. Thanks for explaining, I have seen the light.
I could of course just put advert up and ask for anyone to do my removals at a said fee i think not.
Dont get me wrong here, yes Biff brave girl making the move, which i have followed every step of the way, but if you make a bum choice is all i say (we all make them) then do not cry over spilt milk as they say.
If guy answered Biff for this journey on F/B, then all this moaning, he is going to know is he not, all over face book with only one side to story.
However all over and done with now, find that house Biff and if my invitation still stands, i will be making the journey and hotel arrangements myself
Red, I've learned my lesson, no taking help from friends in any kind of quid pro quo arrangement ever again anyone who paints or plasters or in any way helps out with the new place will do so via a professional contract. I no longer trust
Sorry Biff neither of you saw or heard tone of my voice
A LITTLE STORY FROM YEARS AGO
I wanted to move again, so i asked a couple of fellows (fly by nighters ) if they wanted to earn a bit dosh.
They would hire van and move me to whatever address, i paid up front (stupid girl) i got bus 3hours journey to new apartment and waited and waited, you get the picture. Well because they had a van, they did loads of ther jobs before mine i sat in a house miles from nowhere, no kettle tea etc, no chair to sit on until 5 in the evening. All excuses etc but they said they thought that was the time i wanted them there (liars) i did find out later the money they had made in MY hired van So dear people still with smile on my face i DO no how you feel
Happy weekend now find that new place and pictures please
