So i had run my bath, and the doorbell went, it was my friend eanting me to play tennis, but i said i couldnt cause i was having a bath, so i went up and got in the bath and then the doorbell went again, so I had to get out and answer the door in a towel, it was the same friend again, she then just went upstairs stripped off and got in my bath.

AIBU as written by Maisy

A miserable woman who lives near me is always moaning about how little space she has, but then proceeded to take in a cow, pig, goat, chicken and I can't remember what else, all on the advice of some random man in the street. WIBU to have called environmental services? The smell was Envy

Could you get back at Tallulah by shoving her coat on Dotty's peg next week?
You could also chuck stuff at her whilst Mrs Peacock reads the story. She'd be well in the shit.

Just imagine if you had encountered an 'Oh Eddie' scenario!
Bet you had a right laugh about it at nursery. Star

You are doing this all on purpose because I am not allowed to have a bath ATM. perhaps Maisy should have done that

We could have a whole set of these.

AIBU to think that if I'm adminstered a drug against my will that puts me and the whole house to sleep for a 100 years, that I shouldn't be sexually assaulted by the man who finds me?

I was not familiar with this oeuvre but have now watched the YouTube video.

I think once you'd got in the bath, YABU to get out and go and answer the door. You should have just had your bath.

I'm guessing the message is about alternative solutions "can't play as having bath". "Oh yes! We can play IN the bath."

Not a good way of conveying that message to children I think.

And that chicken has quite an aggressive look about her.

Oh! So you don't have a duck problem, you have a chick problem.

The plum sauce thing isn't going to work.

What a bloody nerve! Wonder if this Tallulah person is related to a girl called Goldilocks? You wouldn't believe what she did to my neighbours. They took their dc out for a pre breakfast walk one time and when they got back they found that the cheeky little madam had walked into their house, helped herself to porridge, broke a chair, rolled about on all their beds - they actually found her fast asleep in the dc's bed!

According to wiki she is indeed a yellow chick! Shock

I agree with you. But I have to say YABU and bloody cheeky when your friend Charlie came to tea just after you'd made cakes and you made him help you clean the entire house (including windows) before letting the poor sod have any cake...

Glad you found Eddie. Heartbreaking stuff when it's all 'but where is Eddie?' I thought he would be lost forever.

(We had a CD of the story, my eldest loved it)

I think tallulah is actually a baby chicken.

BreezyThursday my OH just goes with it and makes it worse by doing Leslie Phillips style Ding Dong for the doorbell.

I think it is probably the oddest plot of a children's book I have ever read

I've read so many Maisy books today.

Maisy sometimes doesn't get social cues.
Charlie crocodile came round today and maisy made him help clean her house.
But then they did share cake, so maybe that's ok?

I had a visitor once, lovely old lady, but she swallowed a fly. I was really worried about her but told me to stop fussing. But then she swallowed a spider, a cat, a dog, a cow and a horse. I couldn't believe it.

MrGrumpy01 We did indeed have to rescue Eddie but it was Christmas so what else could we do! And he did sing really loudly when we had carols to make up for the inconvenience.

Maybe bathing solely in plum sauce would be a deterrent.

Tricky problem, OP. I have a not dissimilar difficulty. DD and I were having tea the other day when there was a ring at the door and a complete stranger was standing there and invited himself in and ate all the sandwiches on the plate in one big mouthful! Cheeky bugger then ate all the buns on the dish and all the biscuits and all the cake until there was nothing left to eat on the table. Then he moved on to all the milk in the jug and all the tea in the teapot, all the supper cooking in the saucepans, all the food in the fridge, all the packets and tins in the cupboard - you get the gist - but the piece de resistance is he drank all the water in the tap!

What is it with these unwanted visitors? My cousin Bilbo has a similar tale involving dwarves.
