MIL and daughter's hat.

1003 replies

My MIL looks after my DD one day a week (Tuesday) and her other grand daughter one day a week (Wednesday).

I bought my daughter a lovely hat last year to go with a coat she had. The hat went missing at the end of last winter and I'd searched high and low for it it to no avail. Is asked MIL if she'd seen it and she swore blind she hadn't (I was pretty sure the last time she'd worn it was to her house). A few weeks ago I lamented to MIL that it was a shame id never found the hat as it would still have fit my DD this winter and she agreed.

Yesterday afternoon I'd taken a day off work and had gone into town with my DD only to run into my MIL and her other grand daughter...wearing the bloody hat!!!

AIBU to think that you just don't do that?!

Taggart thumbed through the evidence in front of him. There was cctv image of the shady older figure known only as 'MIL'. A young bare headed girl was spotted. He unwrapped another Tunnock tea cake. Time was running out. Less than 25 posts before the thread was locked. Time to talk to forensics

Going back to Scandinavia noir version...

Could The Hat have a solitary female detective who Has a hat like Saga's jumper?

OurBlanche · 10/12/2016 18:14

Rev with the greatest of respect READ THE FUCKING THREAD!

Apart from the obvious, OP was never going to ask for the HATE back, that was a gratuitous freebie her MIL threw in when asked for the hat, your other issues are all based on your not having READTHEFUCKINGTHREAD!

HoridHenryrules · 10/12/2016 18:15

You know what Op I gave you a personal experience of my own and that's your response. Meat or hat it doesn't matter it was taken and I was pregnant at the time it happened. I like to joke around that's who I am. I wanted to tell you I understand where you are coming from but unfortunately that was not reciprocated. You have the audacity to call others rude. I was left with PTSD with how my family treated me. I will end it with I understand how challenging family can be so stick to your guns.

The forensics on the face of it look straightforward. But was a young good looking lady, possibly the girls mother. The lip reading expert was called in. what was she saying....

"Read the fucking thread"

What did it all mean. Taggart was worried where this was heading. He had never got the the bottom of the penis beaker case, and it still bothered him

Your use of "wean" makes me think you're Glaswegian. Smile

Taggart awoke with a start, feeling somewhat discombobulated. He suddenly felt like he had two masters. He was familiar with Commissioner Pewtey, but who was this shadowy 'Crawford' who seemed also to have control of his thoughts

ElfontheShelfIsWATCHINGYOUTOO · 10/12/2016 18:20

can this go into classis

eyelevelgrill · 10/12/2016 18:20

There are so many Hat-related name-change possibilities I don't know where to start.

SYBYS no sorry, not directed at you! I was just on a roll with the haikus, I forgot how much I enjoyed them at school.

Abbey Road as it should have ended

Is equal to the hat you make"

happychristmasbum · 10/12/2016 18:24

Aah Aah!

DierdrePewtey · 10/12/2016 18:25

Taggart looked at his watch. The sands of time were running away. Would the case be solved before the dreaded 'thread lock'

And what direction would 'Crawford' send him next.

The Hat, The Hat. What did it all mean

eyelevelgrill · 10/12/2016 18:27

"The Hat"

As Gogol would have called The Nose" if he had been on mumsnet

derxa · 10/12/2016 18:27

There's been a muuurrrdur!!! Let's hope not
Buy the wean a new hat, OP and tell MIL she's aff her heid.

PixieMiss · 10/12/2016 18:29

I got my DS an "expensive" hat the day before I read this thread. It also has pom poms.

Was yours from the White Company OP?!

Time is up. The tiles roll. But it is still left hanging. All will be revealed in Taggart2: Revenge of the Deep Fried Mars Bar
