The follow up thread to my one from last year 🤭

AnneShirleyBlythe · 10/04/2026 19:25

Many years ago my brother very stupidly slept with his then girlfriend’s sister. They had had a falling out & the sister took advantage of the situation as she fancied my brother. Brother admitted to his gf . They didn’t split over this but did split eventually. They were young, 20ish, the sister was about 16.

The girlfriend met someone else who was introduced to her by her sister’s boyfriend. He also slept with the sister. Brother’s ex married him & they’re still together & sister is still with the same guy.

Not necessarily gossip but just shows no matter the fame or money we can all be relatable…

My dad done the mot and car repairs for a well known famous couple who have kids and the car (Brand new just a couple of months old) was completely trashed inside. McDonald’s wrappers shoved down the sides of seats, carpets completely covered with trodden in food and crumbs. Mouldy food squished into the seats. The dash and drink holders were full of sticky spilled drinks and again food crumbs…Toys all over the floors which again had been left there to be trodden on for time as they were covered in food grime and dirt lol No I’m not hating either, like I said just shows we are relatable

I have a feeling (and I may be wrong) that this is something tested in pregnancy as there can be some issue about a baby being a particular different blood group, something to do with being minus or positive.

Thank you. Yeah my dad had o neg but DK about my mum. He used to give blood a lot. That's the only reason I know because he said his blood can donate to all others so it's good to donate it.

I DK my own blood type. I don't think it's common to know it in the UK unless you donate or seek out that info? I know I can't donate due to my weight sadly.

Did your mum’s circle of friends and work colleagues not ask her how the baby was, what’s its name, etc? I presume she was still married to your dad at the time? What story did they give you—you can’t exactly hide a pregnancy from your children.

Show quote history

The baby wasn’t my mum’s, she is the father’s third wife. The father had the baby with his second wife while married to his first wife… I asked how they hid it, the baby’s mother went away for an extended stay while pregnant and came back post birth.

My sister in law’s (DH’s sister) husband is in prison, and not actually working abroad as she has told us all.

Her son told my eldest daughter a few weeks ago - apparently he stole several thousand pounds from the company he worked for to fund a gambling addiction. DD told me and DH but we haven’t (and won’t say anything to anyone else)

A colleague at my company stole £30k and the police didn’t want to know. He was fired, and somehow managed to find another similar role without a reference.

I mean, that's not really juicy gossip is it. Just you being judgemental and presumptuous. Why on earth would she tell her neighbour that she drinks?! And how do you know it's her who drank it all?!

NDN is using OPS trash to hide her bottles. OP can judge freely. And she saw her at it again. Doubtful NDN is throwing secret vodka parties. Methinks thou dost protest too much.

A work college is on a year sabbatical.

They are in jail for fraud but their boss is willing to take them back once out.

It’s strange as people ask about sally and it’s like yeah apparently she’s having a great holiday, is she posting any good photos on social media? No not that I’ve seen 😬😬

Can’t wait to hear her holiday stories once back 😂

New Big Boss was bitching about Middle Boss on a call to Minion. Little did Big Boss know that Middle Boss and Minion are besties. Minion put the call on loudspeaker and Middle Boss heard the whole thing 😳

My blood type was listed on some of my NHS paperwork. I think it’s from when the midwife took vials of blood when I first got pregnant.

Thank you. Yeah I wouldn't have that and I don't think I've ever needed blood products. Probably why idk.

The nan sounds a bit iconic tbh

Get her and Sheridan smith in a room, there's an itv show waiting to tell her story!

Show quote history

I think there was a 13th baby that died at birth. Nan would have been late 40s/early 50s at the time.
We'll never know who our grandad was.
Growing up we were told he was a Welsh miner that Nan was married to (that's another unanswered story ..?!) but they lived apart for most of the marriage when she turned 'Pro'.

No easy access to contraception back then, and I guess the men wouldn't use condoms.

DNA tests revealed nearly all 12 of my Mum's brothers and sisters had different fathers.
Mum finally told us why when she was in her 70s.
Turns out Nan was a sex worker in the 1940s/50s.
No idea who our grandad was.
