Please does anyone have contact details for LoNatalie?

Also hope you and your tails get to have a party tomorrow - how about going all out and wear them on a hack out :cool: i'm sure the locals wouldn't think anything of it :p

I'm another who's offered a member to borrow my tails (think it was culliohill last year who i'm sure if they were suitable for her would have returned them) sadly when some people do these things it makes you re-think although i'm sure i'll still offer things I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that my judgement is good

Maybe we should start a sticky 'HHO Swap Shop'
Click to expand...

On an entirely different note- could this work?

This incident has made me think a bit: could the idea of an HHO Swap Shop work?

We all have stuff that we don't use, or could lend for a while- whether it's bits, jackets or whatever else. If you could set up a system where the borrower would give the lender a full set of contact details (address, mobile number, home number) and for a more expensive item a deposit it could work quite well. Along with the proviso that anyone who failed to return would be named and shamed, and reported to the necessary people (DCs, court, etc!).

A thread could be stickied where people ask if anyone has whatever it is they need, and then... Ok, someone with more brainpower needs to take over from here!
 
Fingers firmly X you get them in the post, you are such a kind person sounds like you have been taken advantage of. I wont ever ever lend anything out again, because I hate the embarassment of having to ask for it/them back when they have had it 6 months and "forgot" to give it you.
My theory is I had to save up and buy it so should they. The phrase some one posted earlier about "never a borrower or lender be" is so true.
So K tommorow night its Pinot and choccies round at yours for the "Return of prodigal top hat and tails ceremony"

Yes, it's a good idea in theory, but tbh this isn't the first item i've loaned and lost sleep over, i lent a few bits to someone and had the devil's own job getting them back, it took months of repeated calls and messages. It leaves a really bad taste in the mouth, trusting someone to return something... months later they just tend to manage to 'forget'... or they think i have, maybe. :( :(

so, from now on i'm afraid that i will loan things to friends only (people i know in real life), and if anyone else wants to borrow, they can pay a full deposit, which i will refund in full when the item is returned... :( :( :(

God that wasn't me was it? I remember being a bit hopeless about sending that nice bit back :(

Gosh no, it wasn't you, i didn't even remember that you'd borrowed one till you posted that!
oh, btw, STILL don't have a definitive answer from FEI on that, utterly ridiculous! Apparently any single-joint bit is fine, they don't ever specify makes... but we don't seem to be able to get it in writing! better get it sorted out before i start competing Ellie because she absolutely loves hers...
 
I really hope you get them back, and I wonder if she saw this thread and was shamed into action. How disgraceful that she said she posted them last week, I wonder if she really intended to keep them and hope that you would forget or give up!
Does she not post on here anymore?
 
Fingers firmly Xd here K. Silly girl - one bit of sloppy attention to detail and her reputation is wrecked with many more of us than have posted on this thread, given that it's been read by far more people than have replied. It's no more than she deserves though.

PS Enjoy your T & T reunion celebrations (I can't believe she is stupid enough to still be lying)
 
I've managed to acquire bits before when people have sworn they are mine, very confusing.

I know I have never bought a happy mouth cartwheel bit, yet I have one and no-one I have asked has claimed it!

Fingers crossed you get yours back. I'm very cautious over lending things, some people have no respect for other people's possessions, even if something I lend is old and might be worthless, I still expect to have it back in a similar condition :)

Yes, well, I didn't name her, but I was getting really desperate tbh, she borrowed them in October and has been ignoring all my messages, so I thought she might have decided to keep them. she said her mum had posted them on 5th Jan when i rang her, and i believed her. when they didn't arrive i was really upset at being lied to.
I didn't want to get the Police involved obviously, but you don't just give something that valuable to a total stranger... if I wanted rid of them (which I most certainly DON'T, i hope to wear them again myself!) i'd put them on ebay! i just think it's despicable bad manners to keep them for so long and not even attempt to explain why. no way was i going to forget that she'd got them, fgs! i hope this didn't all seem vindictive, it was desperation!

She could always come on to apologise to Kerilli for her silly behaviour.......that would go some way to making up for things I guess?

Fingers crossed they arrive safe and sound.

the most disgusting thing about this is the fact that she lied to you last week and said they had been posted when they clearly hadn't :eek: why would you do that??
i really hate lending things out for this very reason, it makes you feel like you are being unreasonable in wanting your stuff back...but its your stuff and of course you should have it back! really really hope they arrive soon- if they don't send her parents a letter detailing the cost and advising you'll be taking them to the small claims court :)

Do you use it? Would you sell it?
 
From her HHO profile:

"Last Activity: Yesterday 03:27 PM"

Lets hope she has seen the thread, realised she has made a BIG mistake in holding on to them for so long and apologises to kerilli!
 
ok they should be back by now, royal mail special delivery is guarented by 1pm the following day... do you have them????

i wonder if Lonatalie will actually post on here again???
 
She was on here again today just after 12, so hopefully she knows what everyone thinks.
Undoubtedly as she is obviously a genuine person who made a simple mistake she will make a public appology and send K a really nice thank you gift. ( Or not?)
