Attic.

Housesitting for dp work colleagues next week.
Collegue has said to dp 'definately don't go in the attic it will change your opinion of me' and dp relayed this to me.
[hmmm]

The only Thing I want now is to see in that attic.

AIBU and a nosey bitch or is she asking for snoops by declaring it out of bounds?

But, ThisWay, the OP's DP and colleague are in the military - she'd be a bit of a fool if she was growing herbal jazz in military housing Shock

ThisWayForCrazy · 04/09/2013 09:43

Well possibly... My BIL rented a house to a copper and that's what he found in the roof...

FruOla · 04/09/2013 09:47

Blimey!!! Shock

IceNoSlice · 04/09/2013 09:51

My money is on train set. With all the geeky trimmings.

I am a huge believer in honesty, so am changing my spin and suggest
aiming for raising laughter from the owner today when you go today, and hopefully a reveal by telling him that your DH had passed on the remarks about the attic and you are now simply dying of curiosity!!!

What is there to lose?!?

helenthemadex · 04/09/2013 09:54

you have to look, maybe its a large collection of sylvanian family figures

not really I think she is a dominatrix and its all her kit

MadBusLady · 04/09/2013 11:12

That's proper reconnaissance that is, scoping out your own attic Grin should do that myself sometime really

ManifestoMT · 04/09/2013 15:19

Do tell
you said you were going for the walk through and alarm number chat today

Did you mention the attic?

SarahJayne321 · 04/09/2013 15:25

I've never wanted someone to look in a loft as much in my life.

catinabox · 04/09/2013 15:34

You have too look. Please come back and tell us!

MollyBerry · 04/09/2013 15:36

It's definitely a nosiness test. I bet you're on hidden camera and will end up on a show on TV or something!

QOD · 04/09/2013 15:40

O_o

flippingebay · 04/09/2013 16:20

You HAVE to look in there now!!!

pigsDOfly · 04/09/2013 16:23

Ooh. Not sure I'd go up there.

I live in a victorian terrace that has weird cold spots. When I first moved in the loft hatch kept dropping down. It's dark and cold up there and I've never been up there (I'm not good with ladders and heights) so there's no way I'd be going into anyone else's loft.

Love some of the speculation on here. A collection of freaky 'Chucky' type dolls draped in cobwebs perhaps?

vladthedisorganised · 04/09/2013 16:26

A portrait?

digerd · 04/09/2013 16:35

A portrait Grin .Loved that book, much better than the film.

FruOla · 04/09/2013 16:46

The OP hasn't come back. Do you think she's been sucked into a parallel universe in the attic? Or been eaten by the snakes in the terrarium? Or she's playing with the train set? Or ..... ?? Shock Grin

Jackanory1978 · 04/09/2013 16:49

Oohhh.......I'd be up there straight away

ManifestoMT · 04/09/2013 19:45

OMG she has been trapped in the attic hasn't she.
She is probably wishing she took my advice and packed a attic search bag.

Do you think her husband will know where to search ?
He will go into the attic and see a parade of mannequins.
There will be one which has an uncanny resemblance to his missing wife.

He will stare at it for a few moments and then turn away to leave.
A single tear will roll down the plastic face of the frozen face angst mirrored in her cold dead eyes. .........

Dun dun deeeeeeer

KoalaFace · 04/09/2013 19:51

Shock Manifesto that. is. chilling.

TiggyD · 04/09/2013 20:04
