MIL Surprise, surprise

DP is away from home on a course and have been enjoying this week on my own, slobbing out in the evening after work, eating supper in front of the TV and generally having a nice time.

Just got home from work and opened the front door, walked into the sitting room to find my MIL sitting on the sofa. Cries 'surprise surprise, got the key from your NDN, let myself in and have come to stay for a few days to keep you company whilst DP is away.'

Just rung DP and he is equally annoyed as is expected back Saturday and we were looking forward to the weekend catching up on each other's news and bit of frottage. All out of the window as MIL expects to be waited on hand and foot, in fact just said if I was putting the kettle on she would love a cup of tea, 'And a biscuit dear if there are any going.'

Who do I kill first, NDN for giving out the key without checking with me first (She has never met MIL before as we moved here recently) or MIL for presuming she can do this.

Famalam is an inspired name for a kitten. I'm glad I kept reading this thread now Grin

I now want a litter of kittens and I will call them Lit, Squad, Basic, Burn, Bro (possible nickname Brudda).

Mummyoflittledragon · 16/06/2017 14:49

Kitten called Fam-a-lam. Grin

dustarr73 · 16/06/2017 14:49

MissHavishamsleftdaffodil · 16/06/2017 14:52

Apropos of nothing, we are getting a kitten soon. WIBU to call her Fam-a-lam?

Grin Grin Grin

That's it. I'm clutching my pearls in one hand and speed dialling my PCSO with the other.....

"Well first officer she had rumpy pumpy with frottaging !!!!!!"

MissHavishamsleftdaffodil · 16/06/2017 14:53

Floofy you need one called Blud, I'm sure of it.

Laters may also be necessary.

AmberStClare · 16/06/2017 14:54

That film sounds good, hope you enjoy it. Your DP should come home if it's just drinkies with his colleagues, he's got no excuse.

AmberStClare · 16/06/2017 14:58

My DSis had a ginger cat called GreaseWheel for many years. Her kids liked pizzas!

Picky-tea the kitten.

Karen9780 · 16/06/2017 15:05

Been there. Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't...

FurryLittleTwerp · 16/06/2017 15:05

I expect she'll pop round to yours to retrieve her "accidentally forgotten" mobile on her way back from shopping - what a shame you've already dropped it at the B&B Grin

If anyone ever let themselves in here they'd get a shock. This place is only ever tidy when I'm expecting guests. If I'm not, it's a midden of crap.

I'd be mightily pissed off if I arrived home to find anyone who doesn't live here sitting in my lounge.

Mummyoflittledragon · 16/06/2017 17:34

Has she turned up yet??

namechangeforholiday · 16/06/2017 17:39

OP your MIL is sounding more and more odd. The hotel thing on holiday is ShockHmmConfused

exaltedwombat · 16/06/2017 17:48

It's a bleeding liberty. But you probably need to be friends with your MIL, and it's very useful to have a spare key with a neighbour (which is why you DID have one, remember?) Standing on your rights may not lead anywhere good in this case.

SteppingOnToes · 16/06/2017 17:55

*ShesNoNormanPace

So your DP is spending tonight in a hotel room?

And your MIL is also looking for somewhere to stay that isn't your house.

And she likes sharing hotel rooms with your DP... and she has a rail pass...

I think it's only fair you tell her where your DP is staying. She can be in his hotel room when he gets back from work SURPRISE grin*

You're a genius!! OP please tell me you have done this...

TwoDrifters · 16/06/2017 18:00

Hang on a minute! You found her mobile left behind on your bedside table?! What was she doing in your bedroom?!?!

Argh! Good point TwoDrifters

Looking for dildos I reckon.

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 16/06/2017 18:05

I think the phone was in the spare room, as she'd been presumptuous enough to unpack in there.

eddielizzard · 16/06/2017 18:05

your mil is bonkers. and Shock to your dp saying she should stay with you tonight, while he enjoys drinks. fuck that.

pollymere · 16/06/2017 18:06

My MIL did this once. You have my sympathy. You'll know not to mention it or be very busy in future!

Reow · 16/06/2017 18:07

I'm going to show my MIL this thread. Just as a warning.
