Indeed a truly sad story.  I admire your control, Brimstone, as I would not have known what I would have done.  I proabably would have been sent off to jail for the things I would have done, if I was in your shoes.

Did you ever get back at her in any way for what she did?

Did you ever replace the programmes ?

nevergot revenge.......could never replace all home progs so just got the first one of each season i attended....replaced all away progs

Feel for you on that one. Lesson learned I hope.

When I left home my mum got rid of my Chelsea stuff. We didn't really get on before or after that.
