Busy day at work today contrasting with yesterday - I had no patients at all so spent all day sat in my office, very unusual and very unpleasant! Came home and planted up some seed potatoes I got for free from a lady in the village and admired my new greenhouse which is finally up One little cucumber plant looked a bit overwhelmed by the heat inside (we thought the automatic air vent window inside worked, apparently it doesn't) so OH is under strict instructions to open it around 11am unless told otherwise.
Update especially for Dove, some one dropped a reply from neighbour re shopping and money situation.says my letter raised valid points but he wanted to remind me that on numerous occasions he offered money and I refused,that was actually 30p for a jar of Tesco marmalade, which yes, I did say not to worry about. He never mentioned the papers, Finnish by saying,I could now consentrate on my disabled son and not have to worry about him, unsure if this is sarcasm
That is a bit of a sad way to end the relationship @Nanny Beach, but I think you are better off out of the increasingly difficult situation. Such a shame that people can't just play fair and be considerate of others. I suppose it comes down at the enmd of the day to miscommunication and misunderstandings, however, you are the one out of pocket, not him, very convenient for him. Nevermind, you did your best and can't/shouldn't do any more.

Honestly @Nanny Beach ... talk about trying to shift the blame when he knows he’s in the wrong. What a two-faced pillock! Sorry I know he used to be your friend, but he’s used you ... you don’t need friends like that.
Let him organise his life without exploiting your good nature ... and you spend the time you would’ve spent running around after him, doing something you really enjoy ... something just for you .., even if it’s simply ten minutes a day with your feet up and a mug of hot chocolate. You deserve it 😊 you might find yourself a little better off too 💰 🌈

I feel rather crappy over it my old man says it's our fault we should have sorted it soon ,(huh the royal we that would be) he paid last summer,l told him in October that I must have the money he said Ok,then of course we lockdown,so I didn't see him at all,we have been putting the recipients through the letter box, bit upset by reference to my disabled son,I said he wasn't confused at all,letter proves that, said he was in the toilet Friday,so it's taken 5 days. Oh,and he added"I do hope you will accept the money this time"
It’s him that should be feeling bad ... not you. If he knew he owed you money he should’ve paid you. There’s no excuse.
But some people have a knack of making us feel guilty even when they’re the ones in the wrong.
Even now he could’ve said ‘I’m sorry, I should’ve paid you long before this, im sorry you’ve had to ask again. I apologise. I do appreciate all your kind help.’
If he’d done that it would all have been ok, but he’s managed to make you feel bad when you’ve done nothing wrong. That’s unkind.

Course yes I did refuse the 30p,it was ridiculous, in the scheme of things,I have dropped receipts for the other shopping,his carer was just coming out the other week and hubby quickly handed him the tea bags and receipt, surely you wouldn't give some one a receipt if you didn't expect payment.presume his son delivered the letter
