Oh for goodness sake. I have a crush on the builder

[Keyra]

I’m such a cliche - middle aged sahm crushing on the builder. I need strategies to look busy and keep out of the way.

Can you nip out and get haircut / styled or start wearing something subtly different or different shade of lippy or similar to send out an alluring feminine signal ? Risky I know because chatty gaffer could take this the wrong way .
I think this calls for a prolonged eye contact moment , next chance you get to speak to crushy builder, you hold that eye contact until he looks away , this calls for nerves of steel but I think you can do it

Has anyone else noted that the responses on this thread have suddenly turned from jokey to much more serious

I have been following this thread from the beginning, I am so invested and loving the daily updates!
I have no advise but I am hoping all goes well for you!

Alien - this is indeed serious business 😬

I'm off to John Lewis [with my dog] for a super spot of hat shopping!

Ta da da dah!

So they both fancy you?

Has TP showed yet?

I'm so not a fox! Maybe there's something in my teabags. Or perhaps they're just sex-starved/bored. Don't forget I only have cg's word for it that cb likes me - maybe he's using some sort of reverse technology.

I still don't know if cb is single but this is week 3 and still no mention of a partner. I can't do the eye contact, I'm so pathetic. Don't be buying your hats yet!

Reverse psychology not technology!

Oooooo even I've got the Dandy gallops now!

Um, fanny.

Reverse technology

Oh my god your fanny must be fluttering away from your body at this point how exciting! Loving the tooth update to 

This is like a Jilly Cooper novel in thread form. I'm ridiculously invested in it

Simple - sod the hat shopping, I’m off to buy a bridesmaid dress

DO NOT DECLARE YOUR HAND RE THE OBJECT OF YOUR AFFECTIONS UNTIL THE WORK IS COMPLETED!

You don't want one/both of them flouncing off due to unrequitedness. Neither do you want one of them taking the piss because you are shagging him and the other all brooding resentment because you are NOT shagging him.

Encouraging but non-comitttal to both "Oh no, I never mix business with pleasure, let's wait the work is finished' with a tinkly laugh an alluring smile will encourage both to redouble their efforts on the job

No sign of tp, will look forward to meeting him. I've been out all morning, I'm nervous to go home.

Pick up some condoms at some point OP

😂😂😂😂

Nervous is good Op.

Bore that is very sound advice! I've got to weigh up what I want more - an extension that will stay upright and meet building regs, or, I'm, well I'm not sure what! The "I'm not sure what" is looking fairly inviting right now! I will be sensible though

Why didn't you just say ' I like him too' 

"I like you both but there'll be no hanky-panky with either of you before this extension is finished, so crack on lads!"

There. Sorted.

Nip outside and ask him to help you...

Unclasp your necklace, you think it must have stuck.

Reach this item off the top shelf, save you getting a ladder out.

Help you get the Christmas tree out of the loft...

'The worst thing about living in your own is not having someone to help with tricky things!'

Slowly work your way through the above list...

Can't believe I've only just found this thread! I'm rooting for you OP look forward to the next instalment!

OoooOooh!

Is CB's name Tony OP?
