What thread outcomes that never got posted are you curious about?

Which thread were you invested in where perhaps the OP stopped posting or the thread died and you never got to know the outcome?

For me there are two:

The one where the lady got her heart broken by a Jewish guy who just suddenly dumped her.

A more recent one where a girl was "exclusive" with guy she hadn't heard from in 3 weeks and she went out and bought him birthday presents anyway. He then posted pics on Instagram of his bday celebrations which she wasn't invited to. She messaged him and I would love to know if he replied and what happened.

You go....

There was lady, I think from Derby, who was really struggling with her mental health, and didn't seem to be getting any help from anywhere.

She had a young baby, and I think one of the last posts was that her husband had left her/ was going to leave her.

She called a friend a few times to sit with her as she was afraid of what she would do if she was on her own.

Nobody (the authorities) seemed interested. I've often thought about her.

The missing ironing board.

NailArtAddict · 12/05/2022 19:02

The very recent one about the developers pulling out of the house sale at the last minute.

There was a woman who was pregnant by her abusive partner and she wanted to get away from him and go to her parents in SA. She did get there in the end but I sometimes wonder what she's up to. Lots of posters were telling her how to not let him into appointments etc and it worked. She did say she wouldn't be posting any more but thanked everyone but she was so brave.

The mystery phone in the sofa that didn't belong to anyone in the house. Did they ever find out where it came from?!?

MumThatsNotFair · 12/05/2022 19:40

Neighbour with the giant treehouse overlooking the poster's garden.

Did she speak to the council? Start cooking naked? Dismantle it in the night?

HappyCup · 12/05/2022 19:46

The person who won a giveaway to the RHS but didn’t receive the tickets. The giveaway organiser lied on social media that she had received them. Not sure what happened after that.

There are posters - some from many moons ago that I remember and it would be lovely to know how they are now.

money was a Sycamore trees or something - she was married and a barrister or something and literally buying and moving and was pregnant and found out he was having an affair and then bought it alone and had the baby and other children - I often wonder how she and her boys are - would love just to know how incredible she was

running in the rain - the text dumping and she was the most amazingly strong woman - I hope she has found someone worthy of her love

there was a woman north west I think who I can’t remember the name of that was being evicted and was trying to find somewhere to take her and her family and her dog / s - I hope she managed to do it.

chopinlizt and lobster boy - I have an abusive mum and so wish Chopin was my mum she was and is the most generous mum ever - I hope she is able to enjoy her other daughter and find peace and that the daughter and LB stop pulling stunts on her

wolly newty or somewhere south of sanctity or something? Husband having an affair, she was so so funny and I actually tried to find her blog the other day and couldn’t - would love to know how she and her sons are doing

opprobrium I remember her posting and then she vanished and was it ruby (?) and letty3 ? Often wonder what they are all doing and up to?

Cliftontherocks · 12/05/2022 19:57

she might have been nuttymunmy of 3 or something iInstead of letty3? Can’t remember

The missing ironing board.

Definitely the ironing board! 😂

Winterfellismyhome · 12/05/2022 20:03

The lady who got a new job away from her abusive husband and was terrified to tell hjm. I hope shes okay

BobHadBitchTits · 12/05/2022 20:05

Tattlebee or Tittlebee or something and her forest.

ThatsGoingToHurt · 12/05/2022 20:06

There was a post a while ago where neighbour had attached a sail to the OPs house to block the view.

Ihatethenewlook · 12/05/2022 20:09

The lady who found out she had won a laptop in a raffle a few months before, but her relative had taken it saying they’d give it to her but they kept it. She deleted the thread after someone said this will end up in the daily mail

mackthepony · 12/05/2022 20:11

Was gonna say the missing twins in London but just saw that they are safe and well

mackthepony · 12/05/2022 20:12

What about the fella from Lytham selling the camper van?! So funny

Eddielizzard · 12/05/2022 20:14

The woman who was tricked into moving to NZ and had a horrendous time with alcohol inlaws and couldn't leave. She stopped posting. I worry about her. She was so incredibly down.

mycatallowsmetolivehere · 12/05/2022 20:16

What about the woman who thought her neighbour may have killed her husband as she never saw an obituary in the paper

And the woman who's neighbour was stealing all the parcels from the shed

🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐

queenie2016 · 12/05/2022 20:19

@JessieCaroline yes! I was dying to know about this too!

FoxtrotSkarloey · 12/05/2022 20:20

The one where the NDN knocked a patio door through a wall onto the OP's private garden. It was so gloriously entertaining with marvellous updates from the OP and the contributors. I did see the final update before it was deleted but it pretty much wasn't an update, it just said things were too outing. This is now taken to mean it was a troll thread but mn has never actually said it was a troll.
I'm happy even if it was fiction, it kept me entertained through some pretty shitty times, but we never got to the ending.

WitchesandWizards - I think was her name - I think about her often. Her father in the UK was ill I think and she was so far away, so lonely and isolated. I really hope life is settled for her somehow.

I'm not convinced that one was real. It seemed like one of those threads created just to get everyone invested!

That was deleted...troll

Coldhandscoldheart · 12/05/2022 20:24

There was a woman whose dog kept sniffing her DH. It sparked a whole thread about animals smelling illness but she never came back to say if he’d been to the doctor.

DFOD · 12/05/2022 20:26

The lady who was widowed with young children and then went on a date with a work colleague - married him and had another child - think she was called Somerville? Followed that story from the first date - sounded like a wonderful person a witty writer and I hope her life has abundant joy and comfort.
