Should I get a CCJ against my ex??

So, me and the ex bird split up about a month ago. Not really spoke to her since, started seeing another bird since then.
T'other day, she left some shoes outside my front door, which i'd forgotten i'd left at hers. Reminded me that i'd lent her my slowcooker, a blender, and a load of room painting shit.
So, I text her, thanking her for the trainers, and asking for my shit back (I did this polity) And she told me no, that she was going to consider them a parting gift. I obviously said no to this, give me my shit, and she told me to fuck off.

Now, she also owes me about £350, not a great deal, and something i was going to forget about, however, she's pissed me off.

So, BCF, is it worth going for a CCJ against her to get my money back? Anyone have any experience with this?

No, move on with your life.

She'll probably hate you more for not rising to the bait. Imagine the internal rage when she sees you with him, happily walking down the high street with a smile on your face.

Don't bother with CCJ

But to get back at her, a good letter before action, then paying £25 or so to do a small claims court may be a fun way to stress her.

Absolutely not.

Surely no right-minded person would even consider this?

Karma will get you if you do this. And rightly so.

Forget it. Move on and be glad you had no pets/kids/future together.

It all depends how chilled you are vs how bitter you are etc.

if you want to get your stuff back... letter before action and pay the £25 to get what does belong to you back.

if you just want to draw a line under it, forget about it.

Not unless you want to start a feud and if you start a feud with a woman, you are going to be regarded as a bully. You can't win. Walk away.

Even if you win in The County Court, you're not guaranteed a payout as she may plead povertiness.
Considering the relatively small amount involved, I reckon that you should draw a line under it and move on. Anything else may cause you unnecessary stress.

What Tracey said.

Do men really refer to their women as birds still?

Buy a really nice blender and drive back and forth past her window whilst waving it about. That'll learn her.

Just forget about it and get on with your life. Not worth the hassle.

The fact that you forgot about the stuff says a lot about how much you actually need it back.

I repeat. Leave it. Move on. Ever heard a phrase regarding good money and bad, or quiting while you're ahead?
Or even sleeping dogs?

Mate I think all the lawyers, judges, solicitors etc. are rich enough don't you. Just walk away.

She thinks keeping the blender or whatever it is a victory over you. Reacting in anyway confirms that to her.
