Surely I'm not the only one!

The Oxfam Goat from FIL - did he turn up with other gifts?

The Kindle found in the boot of DH's car - who was it for?

The online company who sent OP the wrong perfume - did it get resolved? (don't say too much about that as it kept getting deleted on previous threads)

I'm sure there's more... I am rubbish at searching sorry Blush

OP posts:

I've looked but cannot find the handbag/phone lost by friend thread.

LadyBeagleEyes · 02/01/2012 12:52

I also really want to know the outcome of the Bum slap dance and the throwing of acorns.

lurkinginthebackground · 02/01/2012 12:55

Does anyone know what happened with the fil and the goat?

PercyFilth · 02/01/2012 12:57

I haven't read any of those, so can't help there!

Groovee · 02/01/2012 12:59

cheers PercyFilth

What about the postabout the woman working with a really little shit who was constantly trying to make out to others she couldnt do her job. I think he cancelled the office xmas party on the sly.

changingnicknameforxmas · 02/01/2012 13:20

jetset I think that one had a happy outcome for her - she stood up to him and started pulling him up on everything, he then left her alone but picked on someone else that she knew, but he didn't know she knew, she put the new picked on person wise, and they showed him up in a big meeting in front of the big boss (something to do with storing instant messages iirc)

Is it bad form to ask posters directly for an update? On unrelated threads that you might see them on, for example?

PercyFilth · 02/01/2012 18:50

I would say it is bad form to take someone else's thread off-topic, but perfectly acceptable to ask on the original thread.

Katisha · 02/01/2012 18:52

Trouble is the original thread will have dropped off the OP's "threads I'm on" and they won't see the begging for updates.

notveryinventive · 02/01/2012 18:53

I would say you could either PM the person or like percy said ask on the original thread. Unless its a chatty thread (the unrelated one you saw them on) and you feel like you can, but I wouldn't if its a serious thread where someone has asked for advice or whatever and the subject is changed.

notveryinventive · 02/01/2012 18:54

Katisha would it not get bumped back in? It would at least get bumped into active for a short time. It would also be in threads I started.

PercyFilth · 02/01/2012 18:55

If you post on the old thread it will bring it back up to the top though.

ednurse · 02/01/2012 19:10

I want to know what happened about the poster who suspected a workman/sky man/someone of stealing her SD card out of camera that contained pictures of her DC?????

AbbyAbsinthe · 02/01/2012 19:24

Yes, I'd love to see the outcome of that one too. Do you think the OP would come back if she'd found the SD card? Or would she feel a fool?

PercyFilth · 02/01/2012 19:35

Found it and bumped it :)

Catsmamma · 02/01/2012 19:35

will someone please PLEASE pm me if we ever hear about the bumslap/acorn throwing/mother wrestling christmas

i nearly died laughing about that sorry

and wasn't the kindle in the dh's boot for his father, and hidden because the dh did not really want to admit he had spent the money on the ungrateful fil (to the op)

EveryDayImShuffling · 02/01/2012 19:39

I've also been wondering about the 14yo girl who post that she was pregnant but hadn't told anyone. The whole thread was deleted, but i'm still worried that the girls in trouble!

SusanneLinder · 02/01/2012 19:41

I need to know about the bumslapping one
The mad SIL who didnt want the dog at FIL's
Oh and the woman that was going on the train to her PIL's on Xmas Eve but they were going out............

ViviPru · 02/01/2012 19:47

Oh yes, Susanne good shout, I got far too emotionally invested with the PiLs going out on Xmas Eve thread.....

PercyFilth · 02/01/2012 19:50

That one was a bit of a pointless moan, because they weren't in fact going out until later, and were going to pick up the OP et al at the station.

ViviPru · 02/01/2012 19:58

Pfft. What a wash out. I ought to learn to pick my MN battles a bit better.

clam · 02/01/2012 19:58

Well, if we're talking old threads, did we ever find out what happened to starsnstripes who asked if she WBU to ask her H to pick up some milk on the way home and gradually revealed an awful life with him. She did leave him, I believe, but I sometimes wonder how she is getting on. Anyone know?
