Anyone remember the Flexi-time CF?

Thought I'd heard the last of her but unfortunately not. Colleague who left her job due to cheeky fuckery with her flexi-time for those of you who missed the first instalment.

I'm moving between fuming, embarrassed and incredulous at the moment. I've also laughed but I think that's shock more than anything Smile
DH and I were out for the afternoon at a Christmas market. Had a lovely day and stopped at an coffee shop with tables outside before coming home.
We'd been there about 10 minutes when I noticed a group of ladies in their 60's a few tables away and one of them was staring straight at me. I didn't recognise her and carried on with chatting with DH. I noticed her again when all her friends started turning round to have a look. I didn't know any of them.
I'm starting to think she may be someone I'd been in contact with in a work capacity as she is looking quite angry. As I said in the original thread I work with children/families and I have been approached by people previously who have been angry and upset. Only a couple of times though.
I continue to ignore it and we're getting ready to leave. DH goes inside to pay and use the loo and the minute he does this lady gets up and comes over, with her takeaway coffee cup in her hand. I can tell by her face it's not going to be a pleasant chat.
She asks if I'm pleased with myself and I say "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are". She says she's FTCF's mother and who do I think I am to refuse her daughter a reference! Do I realise I've ruined her career and I should be ashamed of myself. Everyone is looking now and I don't want to get into it so I just say she really doesn't have all the information.
She then takes the lid off her coffee and empties it into my fucking handbag on the table and walks off!!!!
I'm absolutely gobsmacked Shock
I'm home now and want to call FTCF and give her a mouthful but DH is trying to talk me out of it.
Maybe I should just have a large G&T Gin

@abouttoblow - this thread kept me riveted, thank you for sharing and keeping us up to date. I hope that the situation is now fully resolved for your sake.

@schadenfreudePersonified - thank you, missed Vanka and Vlad. Did Wattyy ever come back and update, think I waited a few weeks and heard nothing more, would love to know that outcome.

FairfaxAikman · 14/12/2017 17:20

Castle last we heard she had to move out as the illegal building Work caused her wall to collapse.**

Castieldeansam · 14/12/2017 17:53

@fairfaxaikman 😱 What was the last thread called, need to catch up! Thank you.

LakieLady · 14/12/2017 17:56

I've been wondering about Watty too, and if she's back home yet. Although the thread was hilarious, it was an awful bloody business.

Hope she's reading MN, so she knows we're thinking of her.

ignatiusjreilly · 14/12/2017 18:09

I love LakieLady's idea of a playlist for the thread!

Can I suggest:

Coffee and LV (Blur)

FairfaxAikman · 14/12/2017 18:16

I'm afraid I can't remember Castle

SchadenfreudePersonified · 14/12/2017 19:15

It was a very sad update. I hope that there has been progress, but poor Wattyyy must have gone through hell.

gingergenius · 14/12/2017 21:19

I know. What an absolute shit show to have to live through. But it was our summer of mumsnet love. A thing of rare beauty.

Poor Watty. Bastard builders. Lovely SpanGran and Ken from the shop. Even my kids were invested. I just hope she's somewhere cosy for Christmas

Castieldeansam · 14/12/2017 21:40

Thank you, and ☹️ Poor watty.

flowergrrl77 · 14/12/2017 22:20

Jux · 14/12/2017 23:33

NewLove · 16/12/2017 00:56

LastAnni · 16/12/2017 08:31

I missed the whole Wattyy drama so have tried to look it up, but can only find thread three onwards. Can someone please link to the first thread?

Not that I would spend that on an actual handbag.
