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.

Ask cb how he lost his teeth. I'm desperate to know. And then use that information to find out if he's single. Eg, "Ooh, base jumping? Is your wife into it too?" Or something.

Base jumping

Was keeping an eye on OP's progress casually before, but am now ill and bored, so c'mon, surely it's time for tea and biscuits now!
Askhimaskhimaskhim!

I'm certain you can't ask a chap how he lost his teeth 😂😂😂😂😂

You need to compliment the team to CG "I think you have a great team CG, especially CB, who is very easy on the eye!!"
And then hide behind and open window and listen to him tell the lads!!!

Obviously our hero lost his teeth catching CG in them the last time he hurled himself of a roof mid project.

Our Hero probably lost his teeth playing rugby, that's my guess.

I have a theory about the teeth. I reckon they were knocked out by CG after CB seduced the object of CG's affections on a previous job. CG is concerned the same will happen again this time, hence his observations to you that CB fancies you (even though there is apparently no evidence of this, perhaps CB is giving off testosterone signals only detectable by a fellow builder man, or else he's just speculating). I think this also explains why he was keen to take you out for a drink, does his best to keep CB out of the way. He's staking his claim early, and CB doesn't want to lose any more teeth so is keeping his distance .

Ask cb how he lost his teeth. I'm desperate to know. And then use that information to find out if he's single. Eg, "Ooh, base jumping? Is your wife into it too?" Or something.

Bit awkward if he says 'I had a fight in a pub'. The wife follow-up question wouldn't really work then

@HildaTablet

"Ohhh, whose honour were you defending? Did someone insult your girlfriend?" (This is my Mills & Boon theory for pub fight. A long time ago, obviously, so girlfriend is now out of the picture.)

I'm very sorry to say there's not much to report today re cb. They were all very "heads down" and industrious. Although cg was super helpful in regards to an incident last night involving a bar of soap (the incident was last night, the help was today).

Sparky didn't show. Boiler man was very lovely and turns out he has friends in common with my dd. As he was leaving he told me that cg had told to come a bit later tomorrow morning - I think (could be wrong) that this might be because cg had I have got into a bit of a morning routine. Cg comes early before I'm down and makes me tea, which we drink while waiting for cb to show. It is lovely having tea made for me, doesn't really happen often.,

I am loving the speculation on how the teeth went missing! I promise I'll find out for you all somehow before they disappear out of my life. :)

Quick thinking there, wordsmithereens

Keyra still no TP? Or ETP?

Oh I’m not sure cg will be disappearing from your life! Sounds like he’s quite into you
I think your going to have to make some moves on cb but I wonder if he’s staying back because he knows cg is into you!
I find myself rooting for cg now .. he’s very thoughtful

Enjoying your thread OP, hoping something happens

Cg is making you tea and you are still looking at cb???

Ooh sorry for all the mistakes in my post, was rushing.

Nope, no tp. He's on his last chance tomorrow and then he's getting replaced by etp.

I know Borridge. it really is so lovely having tea made - such a small thing but it's so nice. Cb has made me tea too though - just not first thing, and usually accompanied by only a brief thank you (or, from him, a brief thank you very much!).

Team cg

Are you just going to leave the soap story hanging there? What about us, your readers? Think about us!

And CG fell off the roof??

He didn't actually fall, just nearly! And I was very sympathetic.

The soap story is truly very boring! "Soap", "drain"and "blocked"covers last night's events, with perhaps "wire hanger" thrown in too! Cg sorted it in about ten minutes this morning:)

Gosh I like cg myself! Send him to New Zealand

Keyra I fear you are in grave danger of CB thinking you are into CG because he comes to make you tea each morning and has taken you to the pub! Any way you could ask CB to come early one day and put the kettle on for you?!

Oh god, CG sounds somehow quite lovely, could you somehow overlook his full set of teeth?

Cannot stop singing "Hold me closer tiny plasterer" and then worrying about his welfare.

Wow I've just spent half an hour reading all of this!!!! It's like a soap! My life is so boring 😂😂
