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.

Love this, please keep us updated.

I can’t believe how much flirting is going on.
I must have had 20 tradesmen in over the last couple of months. Zero flirting

Love this so much!

Could you buy yourself a massive bunch of flowers and leave them somewhere obvious, thus prompting conversation about them. Perhaps the thought of some competition will force the dentally challenged builder to declare his interest?
If I am anywhere near you, I would be delighted to be your wingwoman. I am married and overweight and it must be ten years since anyone has shown any interest in me

Sorry Keyra, I lost the thread round about page 14 and had to do a search! Placemarked now.

My ex builder is so swoonsome he ended up on Telly on a design show. Being the strong silent but romantically creative type. I met him in the toy shop as he was choosing a toy for his newborn, and that was the end of my crush #sad

OP you definitely need to learn to bake! I have found the perfect recipe for you :

Can't wait for tomorrow's installment - this thread is wonderful and you do sound lovely OP.

Why don't you prepare the boys a nice tray bake for tomorrow op? Jam and coconut or something nice

This is BY FAR the best thread I’ve seen on here in years, my face is hurting from just simply smiling reading it.

Really, really rooting for you Keyra and placemarking

But in all seriousness, everything crossed for you.

Cannot wait for the next update.

Gosh I'm very disappointed - i make proper coffee, offer plates of good biscuits, ask about children, hide greying knickers ditto massive old bras. Not a snifter.

Promised myself an early night... it's now 3:20am and have just read this entire thread...!

Totally overinvested now!

Late to the party but my crystal ball predicts a September wedding with bridesmaids dressed in green, doing fanny gallops. The first dance is Tiny Dancer played by Iron Maiden, with a chocolate hob nob cake. It's the complete tooth, honest!

Found this in the middle of the night! What an addictive thread!

I think you need to orchestrate some opportunity for CB to ‘help’ you. Like ‘please can you reach something from a high cupboard for me’ so you can -admire his biceps- spend some one on one time with him!

Hoping for some more updates today

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving

I have been wondering about the tooth thing, op. Either you love bad boys and get off on the thought of him getting into a punch up, or it's bringing out a maternal urge to care for him.

I wonder if it was indeed a punch up, or if he tripped over his pussy

Please tell me this is going in Classics!

Keyra you are amazing , I don't often laugh out loud at things I read but this thread has had me wheezing like Muttley

I had a terrible crush on my own builder who was short, bald, beardy and had a big belly.

He also was the funniest most emotionally intelligent man I think I ever met! And had lovely twinkly blue eyes. I miss him 

Hmmm, totally not over invested, who me?

Just discovered this, it’s just like the gardener thread. Good luck op!

Love this thread. Keyra, if it helps, I have been imagining you both as Jane Horrocks and Ewan McGregor in Little Voice, all smitten and awkward and cute

As if inspired by this thread i have just developed mt first ceush in aeons... on Bradley Cooper as Jackson Maine. Probably a good thing its a sleb and thus totally out of possibiliry as DH is working away and i could do withput the temptation ;-)

Saw Star Is Born at the cinema and there were fanny gallops all over the place. I would try and persuade DH to grow his hair and beard back ala Bradley but he's thinning on top and very self conscious about it so it's probably not a goer. Too bad. Still, its something to keep me warm at night til he comes home!

Last time I checked into this thread, I wasn't aware you were single - oh em geeeeee, before he leaves (I think I read Christmas), I really, really hope you build up the courage to give him your number.

This thread is brill.

I can't work out about the false teeth mind, does he have them??

I'm picturing....

He's just got 2 apparently. He takes them out.

Blatant placemark
This has cheered up my rainy Thursday morning! Rooting for you OP

This thread is getting to me.

Dreamt last night that I asked my ex boyfriend builder to give me a good seeing to and he did, oh yes, dear reader, he did

YY to the idea of a special biscuit for CB. Consider wagon wheels 'This thing is bigger than both of us' with a wink as you hand it over.
