To ask what threads you wish you'd had an update for

[Fairy13]

For me it was the woman who's DH used to withdraw food from her as punishment and she had to eat pizza out of the bin.
I often think of her and whether she managed to leave him. Marvinishungry I think her name was. If you are reading this, I hope you are safe and happy now.

What have been the threads that stayed with you that you wish you had updates for?

So many of these I always think about too! The woman with the little hairs in the bathroom, I think she was in touch the police and didn't want to keep updating as it was going on maybe?! (maybe I got that mixed up with someone else) And the click in the bathroom, she took the front off the plug and everything I think and still never found anything! A couple of abusive relationship ones I still think about and wonder of they got out, hope they're happy now.

I find the woman on holiday in Australia who's DH already had the visa the most frustrating though as because she was ignoring everything posters said and left on a bit of a bad note she almost definitely won't come back if she is stuck in australia but it seemed almost inevitable.

weebarra Thank You - I think of Tunnocks and her family often.

sugarman no. That is really sad. The worst news, I wonder how her DCs are - please don't let them be with the abusive ex

On a lighter note though, does anyone ever wonder about some of the AIBUs? You know the one's where the OP says AIBU and the whole of the internet says "yes you are" only for them to flounce with their deluded sense of entitlement intact? I would really, really like to be a fly on some of those walls as they carry on with their unreasonableness.

Wasn't the haunted office actually a set up in the end for someone who was writing a book?

Yes allstopped. That was the conclusion I drew for sure...

Wallaby: sorry that happened to you!

There was a more recent huggy one, a female employee that went around ceremonially hugging everyone in the office, and the new hire was asking howw to put a stop to it, at least regarding herself. I dont think there was an ending.

The "drunk" neighbour, who used the pool in secret. Was that ever resolved?

I often wonder about the Garage/Shed lady. I know she did come back and update a while later to say she still was non the wiser but I NEED to know what is in that garage/shed! Surely by now and opportunity must have arisen where she has had the chance to have a sneeky peek.

LostJennyWren - so sad.I was thinking of her just the other day.

The mad jumper lady (also parking nutter). Has Nannyplum had any more dealings with this nutjob?

There is a thread that I cannot recall whether I just missed the end or if it was just made up rubbish with no conclusion. It was about a poster and her DP/H who travelled somewhere - possible The Lake District or maybe Scotland somewhere. Any remote - stopped overnight and the DP saw something horrific in the night but would never speak of what it was. I think they became friends with the people who owned the B&B/Campsite. Does anyone know the thread I mean?

twirly that was one of the give me your spooky stories threads is it maybe in classics?

Don't think anything more was said about it though not sure we ever did find out what he saw

Aah thanks Misslgl88. I may have to have a look one day. I seem to recall we were all waiting for a conclusion but I certainly didnt ever get to see it.

this one was years ago: the OP whose sister was being pressured into a very late abortion, think about the 20/21 week mark, by a very abusive, much older boyfriend. the op was almost frantic as her sister wanted the baby but was going to agree to terminate to please this ancient old man boyfriend.

i hope the sister changed her mind and left the bollock-chops, arsehole boyfriend, but i bet she didn't

I want to know what happened to that cat thread where the OP had stolen someone's cats and wouldn't give them back! She was still claiming cats had 'chosen' her after 99% posters said she was BU!

I'm still wondering what happened to the OP who had a very long thread (in Relationships I think) earlier this year about her hideously EA 'D'H who was belittling her to such an extent that she started to make plans to leave with her three tiny DC (including twins if that helps anyone to remember the thread).

She was extremely articulate and wrote beautifully about her situation, then AFAIK the thread was pulled because there were too many identifying details. IIRC, her H created the illusion of being Mr Perfect to everyone but his DW, which made her feel guilty about wanting to leave. He sounded absolutely vile.

I remember quite a few posters PM-d her - if you were one of them please tell me how she is - I really felt for her.

I remember that aga. She had a toddler and newborn twins, and in the beginning it read as if her 'D'P was just a bit crap and lazy. Then it just got worse when she revealed about his violent temper and drinking problem. She was so strong and composed towards the end, just holding it together and plotting her escape. I really hope she made it.

The one where the woman's husband taught music and was suspected of giving one of his pupil's mum's some extra lessons (or was she the music teacher?)
I think they all lived on the same street.

Wondering if anybody can remember a thread that was in the mental health topic. Years ago. I came across before I was even signed up to mumsnet. The OP has Daisy in her name and she wrote it as she was about to be sectioned. It was long and followed her over a period of time. Haven't been able to find it in a search, probably because I can't accurately recall her name. I'd like to know how that ended and how she is now.

One fairly recently where the OP's husband had got out of a taxi part way home from a drunken night out and she couldn't contact him. They were in the North West. I always hope he got home.

Also keep wondering how pavlovthecat is, who had surgery in January.

That reminds me floaty, the thread that got me onto MN was a MH one by a poster, I think she was called Mosp which was short for mum of sweet peas. I wonder how she's doing now. I hope things improved for her.

The woman who said she was physic and offered to tell our fortunes based on our Usernames.
Lots of us asked her to do ours and she said she would try and work her way through them and to be patient.

I'm still waiting

That's the one Mrsfrumble. Hope she's in a better place now.

I have fretted over the outcome of many threads. The one with a poster with an abusive Dh who was planning her escape.

I hope she made it but I would not want to bring up the thread again. Leave it there. She had laid her soul bare on that thread and it was her story to tell.

MN at it's best. Just kindness and understanding.

I hope it all worked out for her. She was so articulate but so so sad.

Ermmm. You are a kind person with a tv and likes yellow flowers and white cats.

HTH. I am not the person who started that thread BTW and I am not psychic. Just made that up to end your wait.

Awww thanks Red.

The Music Teacher..... are you still around OP? Lots of us remember you.
