Storage

Brian,

You have left me no option. Last Saturday I had all your things removed from the house and put into a storage unit in Kingsford. I have asked you repeatedly to get these items out of the house yet you continue to ignore me. I can only think you are doing this on purpose.

Anyway these items include your sporting equipment (the kayak, wetsuit and paddle which you have ever once used, and your racing bike), all your clothing and shoes, some of the artwork (I divided up the artwork as fairly as I could. If there is a particular painting which you feel especially entitled to please email my lawyer. I will not discuss the artwork with you again.), your books, all the furniture from the office (the desk, chair and the cabinet. You mentioned you have no interest in the other household furniture as I selected most of them and, in your own words, 'my design aesthetic is crap'. All your wine (I made sure each and every bottle from the wine room was carefully wrapped and boxed for storage. Thank god I never again have to listen to you blather on, demonstrating your encyclopaedic wine knowledge. I can't tell you how dull that is.... All your personal effects from your office (including your family photographs, legal documents, the box of letters from your war criminal great grandfather (There! I said it! War criminal!), watches, coins, jewellery, cufflinks...basically all the things in your draws).

You will find a full inventory has been taped to the inside of the storage unit. And rest assured...the movers were very careful. I have witnesses and I videoed the way they stacked your things inside the unit. Nothing was damaged.

The manager will give you a passcode and key when you show him your driver's license.

As I said, please do not come by the house again and make a scene. The last time you turned up was completely dismal for all concerned. I will call the police next time. And for god sake, think about your children. Haven't they already been through enough? Your daughter thinks you are completely insane.

Please, Brian, try to remember this is what you initially wanted. It is not my fault that Chloe left you after such a short period time.

The storage unit is paid up until the end of the month then you will need to begin covering the rental cost or have the items removed. If you ignore what I'm saying, the items will be sold off. It's up to you.

I am truly sorry that things have turned out this way. I just need you to be absolutely clear on one point: there is nothing of yours left in the house. I hope you will finally take on board what I am saying. It is time for you to move on.

Jackie.
