Sorry, I know I should have tagged it/ put it in TIW etc. Can't have been a troll, totally banal thing to lie about, surely?

It's been suspended until Mumsnet Towers can verify the OP.

Oh yeah Brock, I was following that too, I think I might have even posted on it. There were pages and pages of it. I think everyone was waiting for an update on a phone call that was going to be made by the OP's dh when I went to bed. TBH there was so much of it I didn't read it all in the end.

Maybe it was a troll, but as you say a bit of a weird thing to lie about.

Thanks. Well, makes me feel better that someone out there has a duller life than I do to want to make this stuff up!

The op said the call was made.

There was a shit storm.

The op needed me.

Then....nothing. nada. Zilch.

Left us all hanging like a,load of grey pants on the washing line.

coffeeisnectar · 01/09/2015 22:50

Wtf? The op needed wine!! Wine!! Not me.

Jeez!

pigsDOfly · 01/09/2015 22:51

Ah I see. Thanks for the link Dixie.

How odd. Why would anyone bother making that up.

SavoyCabbage · 01/09/2015 22:53

She said she was a slow typer.....

coffee you are presumably invaluable in this sort of situation.

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 01/09/2015 22:54

If she was a troll she was a damn good one. Look at the frenzy of excitement on that thread.

pigsDOfly · 01/09/2015 22:55

Grey pants on the washing line indeed. Grin

Blueandwhitelover · 02/09/2015 08:03

I'm still hopeful of an update clutches straws

YouTheCat · 02/09/2015 08:20

Troll or not, I'd still have liked to read the end of the saga.

It's like getting to the last chapter in a book and finding someone has ripped the pages out.

AlisonWunderland · 02/09/2015 08:23

I think one of the parents of 3 year old found the thread.
= shitstorm

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 02/09/2015 08:25

It's weird
No update from hq
No outraged thread from op wanting to update
Thread is still there so presumably not been seen by parties or definitively troll

fastdaytears · 02/09/2015 08:26

So weird. I agree with Alison. The whole thing would be very easily identifiable.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 02/09/2015 08:26

It's odd
No more word from hq
No outraged thread from op wanting to update
Thread is still there so presumably not seen by parties or definitively troll

StealthPolarBear · 02/09/2015 08:27

Lurking as I want to know the outcome too and like a pp I don't much care if it's true

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 02/09/2015 08:27

Oops double posted

Twolefttoes · 02/09/2015 08:29

I would like an ending, even if it was just a story.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 02/09/2015 08:34

Yup, even if she was a troll, she could at least continue to exercise her creative writing skills to come up with a satisfactory ending

Cloppysow · 02/09/2015 08:35

But...but...it's just such an untrolly story.

lunar1 · 02/09/2015 08:39

I really wanted an update on that one! I always get taken in.
