Please does anyone have contact details for LoNatalie?

Have my fingers tightly crossed for you K. Can't believe what I'm reading if I'm honest. Manners cost nothing after all! So sorry your generosity has been abused! :(
 
sorry everyone, been flat out all day and only just got on here.
yes, they came back, yay!!!
unfortunately they're really dirty (even though i asked her to have them dry cleaned), really crumpled (hadn't been put in the cover, which did come back with them, but they were just scrumpled up in the box beside it, wtf, it takes about 20 seconds to slide into, it's only a long dress cover, doesn't even zip up!), and they have two buttons missing, nice brass buttons, the ones that go under the placket thing to hold the front in place perfectly... inner buttons, but still annoying that they're missing.
they were obv much too small but at least the fabric hasn't ripped, which is what i thought might have happened, and which might have explained the delay etc. it would have been nice if there had been a note in with them, or something, explaining about the buttons, or enclosing them... :( :( :(
she can't blame it on the previous borrower, WorMy, as i know for a fact that they absolutely swamped poor W, who is more like a size 8 but was badly let down about borrowing someone else's tails, so mine were an emergency measure!
oh well, at least they came back, and with a bit of tlc they'll look good again. :) :)
so, me, my tails, and a nice voddie lime and soda are going to have a little party while watching Doctor Who.
Thankyou SO SO SO SO much everyone, I may not have seen them again without your help and suggestions. Mwah to all of you. ;) ;)
she's just texted to say she'll send something to pay for dry cleaning and replacing buttons, in which case, hooray, she redeems herself, and all's well. :) :) :) :) :)
 
Really glad to see you've had your tails returned, but how awful to think that they were returned to you in that condition! I would be mortified to return something like that in anything other than perfect condition. Pikeur will be able to replace your buttons anyway - I got some that I had lost off my dressage jacket.
 
haha don't, now i feel awful for making such a fuss!
actually i'm such a numpty that i forgot what make they are, they're not Pikeur, they're Caldene, durr me. the Pikeurs didn't fit me as well as these - how sad is that, i can still remember first trying them on, in 1993! i'm going to sit here stroking them. ;) ;)
 
Really pleased you have them, do not feel bad you did not make a fuss, you did asolutely nothing wrong, and she still has some reparation to do! Still think her DC should be told!
 
I think there should be a picture of the happy reunion! :D

Nice people do tend to get taken advantage of K :(

Hope she does send you some money towards the dry cleaning and replacing buttons at least.
 
I'm so glad they were returned - I've been shown some amazing generosity on here, particularly when I lost my mare and had an orphan foal on my hands. I'd hate to think of people abusing the trust and generosity that this place can give. :(
 
So glad you have them back K and am in total shock they were returned in the condiiton they were :eek:

Must admit I am very precious about my stuff and more so other peoples.... recently was very kindly lent a jumping saddle from someone else at the yard and cleaned it afterwards as wanted to return it in pristine condition... still feel 'responsibile' for it now and will pop it's cover back on if the owner has forgotten... hmm maybe a bit OTT :p
