AIBU Or Just A Bit Sad?

24 replies

UKSky · 17/08/2012 14:34

DD is away for a few days and I'm catching up on the gardening. This afternoon I'm doing the front garden.

My neighbour is currently out painting his fence and has removed his shirt. Now I'm not normally one for agreeing with this ........................but, my neighbour is in his early 40s, a professional racing sailor, tanned, muscular, fit as a butcher's dog and has just the right amount of hair on his chest. He is also gorgeous.

AIBU to wear my sunglasses whilst gardening so I can secretly peek every now and again? Or am I just a sad, middle aged woman?

Go on, I can take it and am willing to admit I am both sad and AIBU.

Do you need a hand?

ChitchatAtHome · 17/08/2012 14:36

Oh put those sunglasses on! As long as you're discreet there's no harm. I had a friend who kept coming over for a 'coffee' while our drive was being laid, by some very fit looking guys in their late 20s, who seemed to always feel the need to remove their t-shirts!!!

SirBoobAlot · 17/08/2012 14:38

What's your address? Sure there will be a host MNers willing to lend you a hand Grin

PS: Let's hope his wife / sister / friends aren't on here, ey?

DawnOfTheDee · 17/08/2012 14:38

Where do you live? Tell us....pleeeeeeeease Grin

I won't bother with sunglasses but i will bring my own muslin to mop up the drool from my mouth you dirty minded so-and-so's

Ask him if he needs a cuppa, go on, go on, go on! Wink

UKSky · 17/08/2012 14:49

His lovely DW us not on here. They are actually both good friends and normally we chat for ages over the fence but I keep blushing!!

In a well known sailing town with an unofficial post box Grin

All help welcome. I may be cutting the front lawn with nail scissors in a little while.

OH blimey... I've done a fair bit of sailing in my time, shall I come over and chat him up for you? :o

headfairy · 17/08/2012 14:50

ask him if he's competing in Cowes week this year...

hotheels · 17/08/2012 14:52

Ha I am about 20 mins away, get the wine poured kettle on. Grin

UKSky · 17/08/2012 15:04

We have already had a long chat today but fully clothed. Not sailing this week, he's having a bit of time off.

Right then, for 26p per person, you get 10 minutes on the lawn with the nail scissors and I will provide a glass of wine and a refrigerated wet wipe. Please bring your own chair so you can perv in comfort whilst awaiting your turn GrinGrin

And I shouldn't have compounded that by posting my post, so I've just reported myself. Apologies.

UKSky · 17/08/2012 15:18

But there are many neighbours!

I'm not far away! And I'm free!!!!!!

Don't bother with the sunglasses, just appreciate it.

Would love to have seen how this thread turned out if a man was goggling a fit tanned athletic woman

chuckles a bit more

PurplePidjin · 17/08/2012 16:40

Bugger! Bloody dp took the car to work today! How long would it take me to walk 7 miles at 6 months pg, would i miss it?

If nothing else we should turn this into a meet up while we're all outing ourselves :o

drinkyourmilk · 17/08/2012 16:40

I am thinking that 'accidently' spraying him with freezing water so his nipples go hard so he gets all wet, isn't out of the question!

PurplePidjin · 17/08/2012 16:46

Maybe take some photos "of nature" along with drinkyourmilk's suggestion Wink

PurplePidjin · 17/08/2012 16:47

And watch out cos there's a big black cloud just going over headed your way!

doinmummy · 17/08/2012 16:49

I'd leap over the fence and rub my hands all over him saying that I thought I saw a wasp on his back and was just brushing it off.

UKSky · 17/08/2012 16:52

He's finished now and gone in his shed. But tomorrow he's doing the back fence and I will be weeding the bank at the top of the garden Wink.

Hello. UKSky, we've taken the link out of your OP, as it's not really on to 'out' anyone in real life on MN - however much he increases your need to wear sunglasses Smile
