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

Bore thank you so much, how do you know this stuff?!

likeridingwhat does your cb look like?!

So developments of a sort :)

Cb told me this morning I was very nice! He meant it in a "nice and kind" way, rather than a "I want to marry you" sort of way but, you know, small steps. He's just so cool and capable and fit. He had his teeth out too which does strange things to me ...

But cg is definitely flirting. I think. What do you reckon? He said this morning "I caught a glimpse of your lovely rear end leaving yesterday". Before I could think of a suitable response he followed up with "I'm talking about your car".

Urgh, CG isn't exactly Oscar Wilde is he?

What were the circumstances of CB saying you were very nice? Bacon sarnie? Helping him carry breeze blocks up the drive? Quick hand job?

SeeTwoTo · 01/11/2018 10:18

Omg SoundofSilence I’ve heard that story too. My ( not actual) uncle owned the company and it was the girls school where I grew up. I’d always assumed it was true, but maybe it’s just an urban myth. Unless the girls wore green and we know the same people!

likeridingabike · 01/11/2018 10:23

Keyra That's definitely flirting, it's not subtle either. My builder is tall with stunning blue eyes 

ScarlettDarling · 01/11/2018 10:31

I love this thread. The desirable missing teeth nearly finished me off Grin Grin Grin

My second husband is lovely and I love him to bits but I’ve decided my third husband is going to be a gardener.....with an allotment

Hmmm...be careful what you wish for Dowser...you might not be able to go away in the growing season ☹️

Love this thread.

Just joining in to say I don't think Oscar Wilde would have been very handy around the house.

hellojim · 01/11/2018 10:49

If mentioning "your lovely rear end" isn't flirting, I don't know what is! Why else would anyone bother to say that?

FaceLikeAPairOfTits · 01/11/2018 11:20

Wrong one, jim. CG is Chatty Gaffer, we're interested in flirtage from CB Crushy Builder.

9unctured6icycle · 01/11/2018 11:20

Ohhhh, op you know what's happening? Cg can smell the pheromones but doesn't realise they're nothing to do with him.

Dontfeellikeaskeleton · 01/11/2018 11:24

He said this morning "I caught a glimpse of your lovely rear end leaving yesterday". Before I could think of a suitable response he followed up with "I'm talking about your car".

Who the hell have you hired? Step toe and son?

Dontfeellikeaskeleton · 01/11/2018 11:25

Yeah Jim, get it together Hmm

hellojim · 01/11/2018 11:58

Sorry, I'm getting confused with all the excitement Grin

Keyra · 01/11/2018 12:06

Steptoe and Son Grin.

Face if I had in fact given cb a handjob I'd be underwheldmed by "nice" and aiming for at least a thank you "very nice".

I thought cg was probably flirting but I do actually have a car with a lovely rear! Also, I'm so long out of this game I've forgotten how to play it! 9unctured I need to aim my pheromones in the right direction somehow!

Can you enlist CB to protect you from CG? Or even tell CG thanks but I'm more interested in your mate...

picklemepumpkin · 01/11/2018 12:08

Look who else has got a lovely rear end, nudge nudge, pointing at CB.

Dontfeellikeaskeleton · 01/11/2018 13:46

God just read that as you HAD given the gaffer a hand job!

LanguidLobster · 01/11/2018 13:53

CB had his teeth out? As in smiling like a wolf or...literally had his teeth out? I've heard some strange fetishes in my time...

Keyra · 01/11/2018 13:56

Literally had his teeth out Lobster. I'm learning all sorts of new things about myself since having the builders in Blush

I have builders in this week, had NO idea about Builder Biscuit Top Trumps. What does it say about me offering some malted milks and a couple of garibaldis?

TeeBee · 01/11/2018 14:08

Oooh, my OH is a builder. There is something so sexy about a strong capable man. He's fucking useless at a lot of everyday things but watching him lift things and figure out how something can work practically makes me come over all funny (especially when most of the men I work with are academics and wouldn't dream of getting their hands slightly dirty). We've been working on a building project together and I often look up and just lust after him for a few minutes. Yes, he is also seduced with chocolate hobnobs and, thank God, leaves the toilet absolutely spotless and odour-free when he goes. So I fully endorse your lusting OP.

LanguidLobster · 01/11/2018 14:31

Keyra actually that makes one feel better about old age.

I could be the sexiest old lady in the nursing home, fending off all the carers
