Just askin'

And place marking for updates Grin

This thread can't end there, it's not an episode of Eastenders!

I hate to admit this but the op's posts are in pink... And so are mine Blush

I just don't like the other colours. Too brutal somehow (are you listening MNHQ)

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 08/05/2016 12:36

Is "cancel the cheque" now going to be a new stock answer on MN?

Or rather CTC Grin

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 08/05/2016 12:36

I can't believed that after 1000 posts OP still hasn't cancelled the cheque. That would be the obvious solution. That, or getting a cleaner.

springydaffs · 08/05/2016 12:36

Still hovering over the AIBU board awaiting your new thread op.

So that everything is In It's Proper Order

UnGoogleable · 08/05/2016 12:36

I agree OP should start her own update thread, so that her posts are highlighted.

For the record, I highlight mine in Forest Green, with my own posts in a lovely pinky purple.

What was 'Maui'? I missed that one.

SideOrderofChip · 08/05/2016 12:39

Where is the original thread?!

SideOrderofChip · 08/05/2016 12:44

Found the thread. only a few pages in the OP said she CANT cancel the cheque as its been cashed....

ElspethFlashman · 08/05/2016 12:45

A poster had a ton of threads complaining about how everyone was being completely unreasonable about her hugely expensive wedding in Maui and her dreadful sounding fiance. It was a great week on MN.

UnGoogleable · 08/05/2016 12:46

Thanks Elspeth I must have missed that one - I love a good wedding thread!

Anniegetyourgun · 08/05/2016 12:47

Springy, how can pale green possibly be brutal? Confused Surely it's the mildest colour going, with the possible exception of forget-me-not blue.

GrinAndTonic · 08/05/2016 12:47

Nanny I totally agree and have the same colour scheme. Any other colour is just declasse .

SideOrderofChip · 08/05/2016 12:48

Ahhh Maui. Loved that thread

Because she was getting married in Maui dont you know?

obviouslymarvellous · 08/05/2016 12:49

It's a shame you can't cancel the cheque - what a f@@king ungrateful attitude they have! Seriously I would tell them straight to F off and then never have anything to do with them again! Wink

Oysterbabe · 08/05/2016 12:52

If it were me, I'd cancel the cheque.

Grammar · 08/05/2016 12:54

This thread has made me happier than any anti depressants.
I love the exuberance and joy of Retribution. (HAVE YOU CANCELLED THE CHEQUE YET?)
I love THE acerbity of Retribution.
I love the cleverness of Retribution (see poems, esp Orchid's)
I love the humour of Retribution.
And most of all I love the (restrained) Britishness of the poster and the wittiness of all who have responded.
Hurrah, Britishness at it's best!
Indeed a Mumsnet Classic

boobyooby · 08/05/2016 12:56

I though let the op had said the cheque had already been cashed ...... ?!!

FeralBeryl · 08/05/2016 12:58

boob she did Grin but loads of posters didn't RTFT where she updated and kept suggesting she should CTC!

Bragadocia · 08/05/2016 12:58

This reminds me of the time someone from Prague booked my spare room through Air B&B, but subsequently told me his flight would arrive at 2am! Bugger that.

Do as I did OP - cancel the Czech.

Janecc · 08/05/2016 12:58

Sorry what was that? Did you say she can't cancel the cheque? Unbelievable having been offered at least 3 time machine options.

..... People these days.

Bragadocia · 08/05/2016 13:00

I was going to read the entirety of the old thread, to check whether the cheque had been already cashed. But then I couldn't be bothered … so I cancelled the check.

SideOrderofChip · 08/05/2016 13:01

I still have very fond memories of TinyDancers Bridezilla

Janecc · 08/05/2016 13:02

Bragadocia did you check that the Czeck had checked that you'd cancelled the check in in time for the Czeck to check about checking into another room?

UnGoogleable · 08/05/2016 13:04

I still have very fond memories of TinyDancers Bridezilla

Me too, perhaps we should celebrate her anniversary

Janecc · 08/05/2016 13:04

Has anyone pm'd puzzled to tell her about the thread?
