Old threads you followed that you would love to know what happened afterwards

[DaimondSpine]

I remember an old thread where a group of friends basically denied themselves treats on holidays and days out for years because one couple in the group were supposedly hard up and they didn’t want the other couple to struggle. It turned out that they actually had saved a substantial amount to put their son through Uni . I wonder what happened next as the OP and friends were absolutely outraged and were going to confront hard up couple, but the thread had reached maximum posts so never knew what happened next . What is the thread that you remember and would love an update on ?

Doryzurich and her young son who got a girl pregnant (probably 10+ years ago). That thread stuck with me; it was removed as I think she was outed and if I recall correctly it was seen by the girl’s parents.

Hi @XxTigerlilyxx the initial ones were deleted. So there’s only 2 threads that I guess you’ve come across

Yes - I loved Gingerloaf - her writing, her humour and strength. It was certainly inspiring.
Jessa as well - with two DDs who’s husband ate weirdly and she originally posted about ideas for food and ended up discovering he was having an affair. She then planned how to leave him and navigated it brilliant and with such strength and poise. It would have been fantastic if he hadn’t said he didn’t want to see his DDs. It made it so very sad at the end but also a relief that she had escaped such a truly awful guy.

Both these threads and the women writing them, and all the responses to them, have massively inspired me.

I also hope Waffletots is doing ok. I seem to remember she had good family support around her? Did her brother go and speak to her husband outside and hand him a bag of stuff? I seem to remember her having the baby but it was such a sad thread.

I haven't read the whole thread but did those clock chains ever turn up?

Hi @TidyDancer remember reading your thread about your cousin and the takeaway. There was a part 2 to your thread but couldn’t find it. What’s the situation with her now?

Ah there’s been a thread recently by a women who found an engagement ring about a year ago and is now getting married but needed an emergency dress - could be her - she posted 6 weeks to go and need to find wedding dress or similar

If I'm remembering correctly, she had a mum and a step dad who lived overseas. The twat of a 'd' h came to pick up his stuff and the stepdad, English not being his first language, said " sit!" And he obeyed! 😂 That's if I'm remembering the right poster. Waffletots was truly an inspiration!

Yes I’ve been searching for this one! Didn’t she have two threads, one was for a painting in a gallery and she was crying so hard that some ladies had to come and help her. If I remember correctly she was on holiday with her partner and he had had enough of her … I wonder if he left her and gets to tell people about his crazy ex. I bet no one would believe him 😂

That's a different post but I'd love to read it 😂

Oh poo! I wasn't totally sure, but it was a similar story. Honestly, it was hilarious when the stepdad said "sit" and he did it! 😂

I think the step dad was foreign and had limited English language skills, ‘sit’ was one of the few words he knew, and he didn’t have the skills to say ‘please sit and wait a moment’ which is what he meant 😆.

Hi @RavenT seen people mention you on thread. Glad you’re doing well. Have you got links to your old threads?

It isn’t an old thread but I’d love to know what happened to the poster whose husband disappeared and turned up after six months as if nothing had happened.

Oh yes me too..,he turned up tanned and well dressed as if nothing had happened.

Yes and then the OP disappeared.

Bird friend

There was one recently where a mum was worried about her son's controlling girlfriend and her mum, he ended up in hospital and they turned up acting weird I always wonder and hope the son is away from them and ok!

Another from a while ago was (something along these lines) a woman wanted to set boundaries with her parents I think and they ended up calling social services on her? I remember her saying that she just told them something and the next thing the police was at her door etc.

@RavenThow wonderful . That’s made my year. I was with you from the start, and lost track during Covid. I remember your love of cats. I think you had two?

always believed in you x

Thank you for the few mentions, it's so lovely to see people still remember our story - and what I forgot to add to my first post in this thread of course, is I couldn't have made it through without all the support, camaraderie and humour I received from mumsnet. Mumsnet gets stick at times, but there is also so much excellent advice and support on here.

Yes @jesihar we had 2 golden oldie cats when Chunt left - Daisy and George. Daisy made it to 18, George to 20, they both sat whilst DS parked hot wheels cars on their backs (gently) when he was a toddler.

Thank you again. :)

Sorry I’m not sure, but IIRC, MN pulled the original thread and the follow up one after the OP disappeared.
The story started out outrageous but plausible, and got more and more preposterous, as if she was seeing how far she could push it.
Ginny locking everyone out was ridiculous, as was the “revelation” that Ginny was actually having an affair with the boss.

Anyone remember lalalipsy?

Mum of twins leaving her husband?

I remember @helloblodyn who was leaving a dreadful narc alcoholic after just giving birth. I hope her and her child are doing well.

Also a Mum who’s young DD was married to someone in the army who had a gambling addiction and who was also very abusive to the DD. Left the DD in the middle of a town etc. Think the SIL as from Wales and they lived in army accommodation Wiltshire way. I hope her DD was able to safely move on.

Another Mum whose adult son was physically attacked by his violent girlfriend (waiting on a UK visa?) police involved. He had been with her 2 years in a very histrionic relationship. I hope he is OK and getting the support he needs to recover from this deeply damaging emotionally and physically violent abuser.

I remember there was a lady about 8/10 years ago maybe who tragically lost her little girl, who I think was called Pippa? I think there was a woodland area set up or something similar in her name. I think she might have had two other children. I’ve often thought of her over the years.
Other than Trickytreelou (who has popped up I see!) who I really admired, I really liked seeing MrsKoala post about her little children, but I don’t think she is around here anymore.

I’m laughing because the name you’ve given your ex is so very very similar to the name I’ve given mine. Shows how far we’ve come ❤️

Remember the one where the woman was billed for a broken wine glass, I think by the inlaws?
