My first thought was McIntyre, my second Peter Kay, though serial shagger Manford is a possibility.

My DDs key worker at Nursery bullied my dreadfully at school. It hurts seeing her everyday and discussing my DD with her, but DD loves her so much and she's got 2 children of her own now so I think she's changed. Still my heart sinks when I think about it. I haven't told anyone who she is, but I know she knows and remembers me because she said my maiden name to me instead of my married name just after DD started nursery.

A woman who thinks she's my best friend has been spreading rumours about me around our village. I only know because DHs cousin also lives here and has children in the same class as this womans son. She doesn't know DH cousin, is his cousin IYSWIM because they're not obviously close.

The incredibly judgemental girlfriend of DPs brother who has always been so overtly rude to us when we see her spent 2 months last year in a psychiatric hospital rather than 'travelling the world and finding herself' as she claims. I would never, ever say anything - I feel really sad for her but I do have to bite my tongue when she tells me how cliched and uninspired tenerife is compared to bali.

ChunkyMcBitch · 27/09/2016 23:47

I reported my brother for benefit fraud but nobody knows and we are all supposed to feel sorry for him (the scrote).

Best friend had an affair with her husband's uncle (and boss) for years, very close family and all work for the family firm.

Another friend has been having an affair with her first love for 13 years.

There is a huge swinging scene where I live, involving local policeman, local business owners and copious amounts of drugs

Found out Monday that teacher at school is screwing around with single parent (of school pupil)
Apparently I was one of the last to know except for HT, who may or may not actually know

I'd be crap at writing a gossip column.

PaniWahine · 27/09/2016 23:48

gabsalot DF doesn't know about the farm, initially I thought it was a bit funny, a bit disbelieving but when I got home and told DH, we both got grumpy! I think if DF did know about the 'free cash' in his garden annex, he would've paid us back... He initially mentioned paying us back but we dismissed it feeling bad that she had lost so much money. I can't really say to DF "Actually your missus and son are growing weed, so you're flusher than you think Can I have the money after all?"

Step mum has been part of the family for 20 years and is very well known for being very, very tight. She doesn't know I know about the weed either

ample · 27/09/2016 23:50

Forgot to add that said teacher is just recently married.

alltoomuchrightnow · 27/09/2016 23:51

I live on a private estate owned by someone who was v high profile in the 80s and lives here (think politically famous). Just been burgled and it's all been hushed up. Looks like an insider job… heirlooms and so on gone. Can't believe the way it was done either , how it was got away with. I can't tell the neighbours either. Makes me feel really nervous though as DP is away so much. not that there's anything to steal here

GabsAlot · 27/09/2016 23:51

how could he not know it stinks! is he banned from using the annexe?

spicy thats a bit bad she clearly ha mh issues

alltoomuchrightnow · 27/09/2016 23:52

The fact that it must have been an insider job (either that or they were seriously being spied on) must be absolutely horrific for them. They are elderly and must be in absolute fear. I don't particularly like them but I do pity them

PaniWahine · 27/09/2016 23:55

gabsalot air conditioning plus DF has lousy sense of smell from car accident... No taste, barely any smell (poonami from grandkids not a problem!) Fortunately it's a rural location but the nearest neighbour is a retired DI.

GabsAlot · 27/09/2016 23:56

ah got ya

thats a bit risky isn it with the DI

My exDP and his nephew have the same dad.

AbernathysFringe · 28/09/2016 00:26

A girl I went to school with who used to come to my house sometimes to get away from her terrible home life and play 'makeovers' with me, committed a grisly murder when she grew up!

ginandbearit · 28/09/2016 00:27

Another murdered wife.... married man I know , serial shagger, bitterly complained about married life and his nagging wife, took her on world cruise , she fell overboard, body never found . He publicly distraught , but had money from insurance payouts , now property developer.

The management team in my department were in my town for a meeting. After dinner the male members of the team all went to a bar well known locally for being frequented by the higher class of prostitute. My immediate (married, with children, late 50s) boss went back to his hotel with one. He has since reported (to the only person who obviously noticed him leave) that she was 'amazing'.

NoMudNoLotus · 28/09/2016 00:41

Some very senior professionals know that in the case of those who cannot be named on Mumsnet - they do not need to look for anybody else in connection with the crime.

Man A ended up in a relationship with Man Bs wife, Man B was his brother.
Man B later committed suicide and Man A found him. When A found B he was still alive but A didn't phone for an ambulance so he could inherit all his parents money himself.

Okay this is a very weird one. I know a couple M (male) and L (female). They're always splitting up and getting back together again. On a recent split L moved away to stay with a relative, when there L was meeting up with a K (man who knows the couple) and they were having sex.
M and L got together again. L told M about K. M gets K around the house under the guise of offering him a job. K turns up and M asks 'How long have you been sleeping with my wife'. K denies it, L is yelling at him to tell the truth. M then 'makes' K and L have sex over the kitchen table! Shock They have the most fucked up relationship, it's extremely abusive but L will not leave for good.

TheFormidableMrsC · 28/09/2016 00:50

I've got one or two..

Somebody I know had underage sex with a VERY famous popstar. It could have ruined him if it came out at the time, he was at the height of his fame. To be fair to him, she said she was 18 and looked it. This was very many years ago. I'll bet he's glad we didn't have mobile phones then Hmm

I have been having a secret relationship for over two years, very very few people know and I love that (we're both single just for the record). He is 10 years younger than me. My ex-h taunts me, wrongly thinking I haven't "moved on" and makes jibes about the "empty space in my bed" and how "alone" I am etc. He has no idea how much I have moved on Blush Smile

After he left, I slept with one of ex-h's friends. He doesn't know that either! Grin

TheTyrannyOfMAGENTA · 28/09/2016 00:56

Some of these stories are quite sad.

Flapjackninja · 28/09/2016 00:58

Someone I went to school with has faked and lost 2 pregnancies, all her family believe her and grieve for the loss each year! But all her scans etc are screenshots from Google images..

MadisonAvenue · 28/09/2016 01:03

The reason that a certain family member hasn't asked another to be her bridesmaid is because she says that she's too fat and will spoil the photos. Despite said certain family member being quite large herself, and being the other family member's maid of honour last year.

ChasingCats · 28/09/2016 01:06

NoMud interesting, very interesting. I think I can guess of whom you speak and I am not surprised.

I'm using an old username here as I don't want the following outing me.

A former boss of mine, who is quite high profile, regularly makes appointments to see call girls on business trips. I worked as his assistant and I found out completely by accident when he wasn't as discreet with his emails as he should have been. I was seriously shocked as he likes to present himself as a pillar of the community. He hasn't a clue that I know, and I often wonder if his lovely long suffering wife does. I hope not, for her sake. I don't work for him any more.
