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

Hello, been busy this morning so apologies for late update. Apologies also for keeping everyone awake late - it's wonderful having a team of virtual supporters but I must say, considering that nothing much is happening at all really, I'm amazed you're not all bored stiff! Juaneeze you must tell us what you're wearing and what happens on Saturday. Nancy way back in the dark ages I did have a thing for bad boys so maybe you're right about the strange attraction for the teeth (or rather for the missing teeth)!

Anyway I'm very confused. I was telling cg this morning a very boring non-story about a supposedly lost towel (don't ask) when cb came in. I abandoned story mid-sentence but cg insisted I finish it. I only started the story as I felt the conversation was going down a dangerous path (he was asking what I was up to at the weekend). It was the only thing that sprang to mind to divert cg, and I'm pretty sure cb glazed over. I very nearly did myself :(.

However when cb left the room I tried to make a clever remark about my pointless story and watching paint dry (since he was off painting the bathroom ceiling again), and cg said "don't worry, he's not after you for your conversation". Shock. I said "he's not after me at all is he?" and cg said "Haven't you seen him looking at you?"

Conversation pretty much ended there. I really haven't noticed any undue interest on cb's part, in fact if anything he's getting more monosyllabic - after yesterday's en suite episode barely a word was exchanged:(

Building news: cg and csb have had a fall out Shock. Yesterday, cg redid an arch over a gap for a window in the extension. He said he'd woken at 4am stressing about it as he felt it wasn't right, and it was more gothicky than archy. Csb has allegedly taken offence that his work was seen to not be up to scratch. I thought it was fine then and is also fine now but what do I know?!

I don’t know about anyone else but I am GLUED to this.

Mookatron · 08/11/2018 14:11

I've been lurking. But this development has brought me out from under my stone. Get the biscuits out!! Shock

WeeSausage · 08/11/2018 14:12

You're in there Keyra!

Athena51 · 08/11/2018 14:16

@Keyra

He's monosyllabic BECAUSE he like you, 'Tis the way of some men, nods sagely>

NancyDonahue · 08/11/2018 14:25

You are so in!

I'm liking CG more and more. What a sweetheart!

What part of the country are you, op? I need to read this in an accent.

I've been wondering about the cast for the TV series.

Sarah Lancashire as Keyra
Sally Lindsay as semen bun friend
Martin Freeman as CG
James McAvoy as CB

BlueTongueSkink · 08/11/2018 14:26

This is the Best. Thread. Ever. Totally overinvested.

I love the way you write @Keyra !

Keyra · 08/11/2018 14:43

Gosh you're all so kind! If cb is monosyllabic because he likes me, and I'm monosyllabic because I like him I don't much fancy our chances of long interesting conversations!

I'm in SE Nancy, and I'd kill to look like Sarah Lancaster! I'm older, heavier and darker! I'm off to google James McAvoy.

Keyra · 08/11/2018 14:50

James McAvoy isn't doing it for me - cb is much better! I googled "handsome men with missing teeth" but the search, judging by the results, must have discounted the word "handsome" ...

Tom Hardy? His teeth are crooked. I'm sure he's had missing teeth in some of his bad boy roles

Damnpeskykids · 08/11/2018 14:57

Eeeeee! This is just putting the biggest smile on my face, reminding me of what it's like to have a crush.. whilst staring wistfully into the distance! BUT is CG wing manning or cock blocking?? I can't work out which!

Ooogetyooo · 08/11/2018 15:09

Agree that Tom Hardy would fit this role perfectly .

Ooogetyooo · 08/11/2018 15:13

Ooo I loves Tom Hardy

Oh for goodness sake. I have a crush on the builder
Ooogetyooo · 08/11/2018 15:17

I still think chatty gaffer isn't to be trusted , yes he might be cockblocking I think you might need to push this forward yourself op, have you found out anymore about him like where he lives etc

BagelGoesWalking · 08/11/2018 15:43

Just ask him out for a drink!!! Friday night tomorrow after all.... 😬

Do CG and CB always leave together (same car?) of CB stays later, ask him to stay for pizza and sex?

CG is trying to find out if Kyra fancies him or CB. Because CG fancies Kyra

CG is by far the best prospect. Many a woman has rued the day she let her head be turned by a silent, gap-toothed man.

MeMeMeow85 · 08/11/2018 16:01

I really want to know what CB looks like? Any chance you can do a sneaky photo for us, @Keyra?

Atchiclees · 08/11/2018 16:15

Waheyyyy! Loving the update. What radio station do they listen to? Maybe we can phone in requests to subliminally get him to make a move? Love is All Around? Any other suggestions? We could fill up most of the day en masse with requests. Do Ya Think I’m Sexy by Rod Stewart. What else?

halfwitpicker · 08/11/2018 16:18

Love it!

diamondsandrose · 08/11/2018 17:12

I got a fright there, I thought this thread had been picked up by the evil DM

Thank god

Keyra's innocence and anonymity must be protected at all costs!

SilentIsla · 08/11/2018 17:14

I think the DM might be interested. A lot of information is being divulged.

Has TP entered this thread yet? I'm singing 'he's a tiny plasterer, he plasters for money, he'll skim what you want him to skim'.
