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.

Oh I hope you're right @Sidge

I'm imagining CG as Ray Winstone and CB as Gerard Butler.

I think CG could definitely have potential if CB isn't single!

Dear Lord I love this thread. Mainly because I've a really inappropriate crush on my child's coach, who is 20 years younger than me, whom I had a dream about the other night (where he was smiling at me and tenderly tucking my hair behind my ear on a long and blustery walk), and then I woke up because my husband farted very loudly and I want Keyra to find true love so I can live vicariously through her.

wistfully wanders off to check out said coach's Instagram account

I think we are going to be hearing about something rather special 😁 my guess making tea might be involved

And hopefully CB will be making it!

MrsMiggins the punchline to your lovely dream was so true to life! Absolutely snorted 😂

Oh Mrsmiggins I empathise... sighs

Meanwhile the suspense is killing me!!! Maybe OP has popped to the pub again with cg

Keyra!

Where are you 😩

Waiting patiently on updates....

Just logged in to read today’s instalments... where’s OP? I’m excited for CG and his potential progress!!

I’d love to read this thread from CG’s perspective 😂

Maybe she's down the pub with cg!

Keyra! What's going on today!?

The suspense is killing me...I'm imagining there must be a date going on right now...But with CB or CG? Or maybe I'm wrong and something else is going on, another soap incident?

LOL at both Sidge and MrsMiggins

Dave Hedgehog is perfect for TP. Would he wear overalls that have to be cut off into shorts because he can’t buy ones small enough?
ETP I am picturing as one of the mice from Bagpuss, singing Me will plaster it instead of We Will fix It.

Has anyone thought that CB might be identical twins? One with missing teeth and one with a full set? CG doesn’t know there are two of them, OP has found out and is now enjoying bedroom shenanigans with the twins.

Hello lovely people, been a really busy day. My lovely dc arranged for my lovely cousin to come and stay - haven't seen him for two years.

I'm delighted to announce that tp came briefly. And I can confirm that he is indeed a tiny plasterer. And you know how I said he was a pigeon fancier? And you know how it's said that owners often resemble their pets? Enough said.

This morning got off to a very promising start. I walked into the porch to find cb with his top off. . He'd been trying to take his sweat shirt off and unfortunately his t shirt came off at the same time. I made the cutting edge observation of "you're taking your clothes off" before backing out hurriedly. He does seem to be getting more talkative - our occasional conversations can last for anything up to two minutes now.

Cg seemed a bit distant today. I think this may have been because the soap incident hadn't in fact been sorted after all, and he spent quite some time up a ladder outside the bathroom looking for pipes. Or something.

Boiler man cornered me this afternoon and gave me a run down of all the car crashes he's been involved in, and I walked into my ds's bedroom later this afternoon to find a man with a head torch in there, rooting around in the airing cupboard. Was able to confirm this was the sparky who, without meaning to be rude, looked at least 80.

So full cast today :)

Just caught up on all your messages! Gish, I'd be beside myself if cb was twins. Which one would I prefer?

I'm very envious of Ap's, and Australian doctors, and proposals of marriage in NY. There was definitely something up with cg today (or yesterday now), he didn't make morning tea or anything.

Gish?

Er, what are you doing up so late? Keyra? In bed with cg? Tp?

I'm delighted to announce that tp came briefly.

^^

. Sorry. I've a filthy mind.

What does tp look like?

Sorry, just saw that you said he looks like a pigeon.

I wish! Been out with my cousin - I've discovered I can no longer keep up with him in the drinking gin stakes. Why are you up?
