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

This thread is Mumsnet living it's best life! Can't wait for further updates and perhaps famous look alike pictures of the main players?? Wink all to build a picture set the scene if you will.

anotherneter · 09/11/2018 00:13

Best thread I’ve ever read on this site!

Catsandbootsandbootsandcats · 09/11/2018 00:28

I feel like I need to have building work done on my house. Anyone want to donate money to my "get the hunky builders in and some nice biscuits for them" fund? 

I am single, so no poor DH for MNetters to fret about.

I dreamt about chocolate hobnobs last night! Oh @Juaneeze your outfit sounds perfect, good luck!! And YY to @LemonySippet is he single line, perfect & to the point! Hope you get to have a bit of a chat with CB today @Keyra , keep you all of us going through the weekend! 

AnotherEmma · 09/11/2018 08:48

"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!"

As CG said, you're not into each other for the conversation. You can have long shagging sessions instead Grin

FaceLikeAPairOfTits · 09/11/2018 09:19

In the movie version in my head, OP is played by Olivia Colman, CG by Mark Addy and CB by Enzo Cilenti (or Bez if he isn't available).

Catren · 09/11/2018 09:26

This is too much to bear!! I can
picture you both in the "would you like to see mine?" moment, awkwardly fancying each other, all Richard Curtis-y and cute.

keyra you MUST make some sort of move today. CG has given you the validation you need, now it's up to you to get your big girl flirty pants on and do something! And then fill us in on all the no-need-to-talk-when-we-can-shag details.

Keyra · 09/11/2018 09:39

I haven't set eyes on him today - cg had him straight outside to tidying up and filling the skip. I really really don't think he's interested, think cg must have been sussing me out. I won't give up the fight just yet though - can't let you all down.

Face so strange you mentioned Olivia Coleman - cg told me the other day he thinks she's lovely. I resemble her in so far as we both have dark hair and that's about it! Both cg and cb are better looking than your other picks I think!

Tp coming today - < deja vu!

Would a threesome be an option?

I've gone all unnecessary thinking about that now Blush

And lol at Bez ... are we talking Happy Mondays Bez?

Keyra · 09/11/2018 09:45

Yes meant to say Juaneeze I love the sound of your outfit - where's your jumper from?!

Loving the suggestions for sending cb to India to get his teeth fixed! But I like the fact they're sometimes in and sometimes not - adds to the excitement!

OP posts:
Keyra · 09/11/2018 09:47

Csb also dropping by today to collect his money - I so hope I'm here when he sets eyes on the redone arch. Could be sparks ... :)

OP posts:
Keyra · 09/11/2018 09:48

Threesome between cb, cg and csb couid be interesting!

OP posts:
FaceLikeAPairOfTits · 09/11/2018 09:48

Blimey, I can see why you're getting the fanny gallops if CB is better looking than Enzo Cilenti, did you SEE him in Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell??!

Yes, I stand by my Bez suggestion, dentally he is the 'after' version. Grin

Right, I withdraw my Mark Addy and raise you a Liam Cunningham.

NancyDonahue · 09/11/2018 10:10

I'm now imagining CB as Bez BNT (before new teeth) shaking his maracas while he trots back and forth to the skip

Hotpinkangel19 · 09/11/2018 10:10

This is brilliant!

Newspeak · 09/11/2018 10:20

Yes .......from here on out OP you are Olivia Coleman in my head!!

Keyra · 09/11/2018 10:39

Olivia Coleman - I wish! Bez is moving in the right direction but cb still better (imo). And cg definitely better than Liam!

Cg went out somewhere so I thought it would be a good chance to take tea out. Didn't quite go to plan - cb was down a big hole at the front of the extension (not quite sure what it's for - must ask). So not only did I just about only see the top of his head, cg pulled up as I was delivering the tea and biscuits. No opportunities for chat, and much pisstaking from cg about how the minute his back was turned I was out distracting his work mates

LeticiaDejeuner · 09/11/2018 10:46

Has it occured to anyone else that CG reads this thread?

FaceLikeAPairOfTits · 09/11/2018 11:00

I'm feeling a bit pouty about how you're rejecting my suggestions, OP. If CG is ssooooooooo good looking then maybe you should just go out with him instead, so there.

HeyJupiter · 09/11/2018 11:14

Absolutely love this thread. Was up at 2am reading the whole thing whilst breastfeeding a cross, teething 11 month old and it totally cheered me up.

Am rooting for you! It’s so going to happen...

Yoyooyo · 09/11/2018 11:34

Was worried this was my partner. He's a very handsome builder who will come home to go toilet. Been enjoying this thread as he's currently at a persons house with this older lady that fancys him. Bacon sarnie would go down well I reckon.

NancyDonahue · 09/11/2018 11:41

is he dentally challenged Yoyooyo?

wannabebetter · 09/11/2018 11:51

Out of interest op which teeth are in / out? top or bottom, glaringly obvious middle or a cheeky gap at one side? It does make a difference IMO - cheeky side gap exposed when grinning is preferable to black hole in the centre.....

anotherneter · 09/11/2018 11:56

“Dentally challenged” Grin

Yoyooyo · 09/11/2018 11:58

Interestingly one of his front teeth stick out a bit. He's mixed raced and has dark black hair in his late 20s so don't think the same guy he looks like a rugged Lewis Hamilton apparently Grin haha
