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

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

betweenhills because I am useless and have reverted to embarrassed teenager mode! Same reason I can't follow through with your ideas pumpkin. If I didn't fancy him I'd have no problem with any of those!

Anyway I'm home now and normal service has been resumed - I handed over the tea and biscuits and scarpered.

Tp apparently showed up this morning but failed to tell cg so they missed each other, and he will be returning later in the week. I'm quite looking forward to seeing just how tiny a tp he is.

OMG "he likes you". Nearly dropped me kit kat. Get in there, can't you trip and fall elegantly nearby? Arse over tit isn't a good look but a gentle slide to the floor perhaps. A Gillian Mckeith swoon?

Mammyloveswine · 05/11/2018 15:47

Omg this is HUGE! How exciting!

I hope tomorrows update is "and then shagged me over the kitchen table"..

Or just don't come back the thread for a year... and then simply say "and reader, I married him"!

Although i am so invested I need to know what happens!!

AviatorShades · 05/11/2018 15:54

Me, I'm not believing a word of it!ShockWink
I admit that OP dealt a curve ball with the now-you-see-em-now-you-don't false teeth BUT...2 builders for 3 weeks and nary a sight of a builder's crack??
NAH! Just not possibleGrinGrinGrin
Still invested in the tale, thoWink

Keyra · 05/11/2018 16:27

It's all true Aviator I promise, right down to the no builders bum on show! It's been 3 builders for a week now as well although I think tomorrow may be csb's last day.

They've gone now :(

I've an easier one for you, OP! Accidentally spill the tea all over yourself so he has to help you!

Keyra · 05/11/2018 16:29

Hah Simple just watched your link. He's having a great time! He's not one of mine though!

OMG just catching up (and neglected to notice that DS was making a huge mess in the bathroom, because I was laughing away at the unclasping necklace suggestion)

"you know CB likes you don't you"

Keyra I would say that's much more than a potential glimmer of hope!!! That's brilliant!

So you're still having problems actually talking to each other. Have you considered getting a fan and fluttering it in front of your eyes? (I mean a Victorian style hand fan - not like an electric fan - that would be v. dangerous)

Seriously, I'm totally hopeless at talking to people I fancy, so very much rooting for you!

AviatorShades · 05/11/2018 20:26

Golly Gosh! I've had my post deleted by MNHQ. MNHQ IT WAS A JOKE! Just because I said I didn't believe it cos there's been no mention of builders crack,( with accompanying winky wotsit and a grin),, doesn't mean I was serious! Blush

FFS.

Keyra · 05/11/2018 21:05

Oh Aviator I'm sorry - I didn't report you. I assumed you were joking.

BlueBrush (just got your username!) I hope your bathroom's sorted now. I'm absolutely rubbish at all this with anyone I fancy. Give me someone who does nothing for me and I can talk and laugh with the best of them.

pickle - drastic but potentially workable idea there!

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/11/2018 21:06

I've lodged an appeal with MNHQ on your behalf Aviator

Dontfeellikeaskeleton · 05/11/2018 21:08

Wonder what TP will look like...

way over invested in thread

LilyMumsnet · 05/11/2018 21:08

Hi @AviatorShades

Sorry, we must've got it wrong- it did look troll hunty when reported. We'll reinstate now. Flowers

NameChangeToAvoidBeingFound · 05/11/2018 21:32

Tell him you like him or ask him out for a drink. Worst case scenario he rejects you. Best case you get married.

TheLastNigel · 05/11/2018 21:52

This all sounds so promising!! Excited!

OhBigHairyBollocks · 05/11/2018 23:10

I LOVE THIS THREAD

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 05/11/2018 23:12

How exciting Grin

AviatorShades · 05/11/2018 23:17

Oh,thank you Keyra, thank you BoreofWhabylonGrinand thank you MNHQ Flowers and Wine all round.Whew! Smile
Mind you, I'm having my place redecorated in the next few weeks and my decorator does have a hairy bum (and mahoosive beer belly as well). Quite irresistible, actually.Wink
Keyra you'll know if he really really fancies you if he appears with a full set of choppers. He'll know if he's certain of your affection for him if they disappear back into his back pocket [nods wisely] Grin

ahola · 05/11/2018 23:42

This thread is fab!

But I need to know EnthusiasmIsDisturbed what exactly is a playlist for a crush??? Have you made one for your crush, or do you listen to it when they're around? Confused

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 06/11/2018 00:16

Oh I listen to my crush playlist on the way to and from work

I’m sure he would appreciate it some of the music I know he likes some of the songs other songs are good to ... Blush some are ridiculously soppy BlushBlush which I would never usually listen to

Quantumblue · 06/11/2018 00:49

I think you start talking about 'how we are going to celebrate when it's done', eg out for a drink etc.

Dontfeellikeaskeleton · 06/11/2018 00:51

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed

Would you share your play list?

I'm liking the idea of a crush play list Grin

weaselwomble · 06/11/2018 01:30

I love this thread. OP can I be your new best friend?

ahola · 06/11/2018 07:17

Ah, thank you enthusiasm, that's quite sweet really!

bluetissuepaper · 06/11/2018 07:35

Just rtft, this is so exciting OP!! Have everything crossed for you
