Long time lurker here (but found my confidence through sneakiness of my cat/dark Lord/ ovelord)... stately homes observer, mexican house theif etc etc) don't like people that take advantage. I meant £150+ to one of my best friend d's before Xmas. He paid it back within the week and now comes in for a tea or7 this is my AIBU. He is a lovely guy. Has young and stupid, but still he honours how word

I've almost wet myself too at some of the replies - DH is trying to ignore me! Funniest thread I've ever read on here! I'm tempted to screenshot it to read whenever I feel down.

Thanks, OP, and all you fabulous Mumsnetters!

On the day of your holiday park your car across his driveway and get a taxi to the airport.

I am not an expert but if it was me I would dress like madonnas ‘material world’ video and when he arrived, just recreate the whole thing. Get your boyfriend to wear the tuxedo and lift you up, while you sing it as loud as you can in a blonde wig and a red shiny dress.

I think this would get your point across without any awkward conversations.

3luckystars · 12/01/2018 22:47

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

[Chorus:]
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play
Only boys that save their pennies
Make my rainy day, 'cause they are

[Chorus x2]

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
[repeat]

Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's

[Chorus x2]

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
[repeat and fade]

UterusUterusGhali · 12/01/2018 22:50

Oh crikey. That's terribly awkward.

Sudden change of venue? Does he have a gf?

MoistCantaloupe · 12/01/2018 22:56

Fue is due

BulletFox · 12/01/2018 22:59

Thank you Cantaloupe, I had interpretation issues due to the surrealness of the thread and didn't spot that :)

ChasedByBees · 12/01/2018 23:05

YANBU! Does he know specifically where you are staying (I.e. hotel) or just town? If town only, he’ll be easy to avoid. You don’t invite yourself on someone else’s holiday.

GrooovyLass · 12/01/2018 23:11

Now you've interpreted what the drunk cat wrote YANBU. Why on earth would someone do that? Is he booked to stay at the same hotel as you?

Tinkofhousepan · 12/01/2018 23:11

chased he knows which hotel as we were in the middle of booking when he popped by. I will be telling him to back off tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions guys! And sorry again for the nonsensical original OP

Tinkofhousepan · 12/01/2018 23:13

groovy I know! I can't get my head around it. I'd never invite myself on someone else's holiday. I don't think he fancies Me, there's never been anything between us and I am happy with my OH so I'm at a bit of a loss!

OMG I laughed so loudly at some of these replies that my 5 month old baby sleeping on my chest kept lifting his head up with a not very impressed look on his face. He's given up trying to sleep now and headed to the boob instead Grin

Good luck with the chat tomorrow OP.

toocool4cats · 12/01/2018 23:50

He fancies you in a slightly creepy way op. Nip this in the bud asap

toocool4cats · 12/01/2018 23:50

Fab thread though

gingergenius · 12/01/2018 23:53

Hic Confused

BulletFox · 13/01/2018 00:24

She'll recover by tomorrow :) omg I meant the cat will

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 13/01/2018 02:38

Hahah - oh well done for coming back, OP!

Yeah, that sounds a bit weird altogether, but I don't know whether or not he fancies you, he might just have no friends of his own, and because you were kind to him he's latched onto you as being his "friend".

Might be an idea to have a word with his mum if you don't want to talk to him directly, to say you're finding it a bit overwhelming but you don't want to hurt his feelings - but you'd probably do better to talk to him yourself if you can.

Mummyoflittledragon · 13/01/2018 03:13

It could be a modern day Jules and Jim. So don’t go drinking too much young lady! Wink

Back in the real world, where cats are not in charge, yes, telling him to back off would be a very good idea.

WickedGoodDoge · 13/01/2018 07:00

Am I the only one now worried about Positively’s fuing client?

OP, you win the internet. Best first post ever!

Yes, you’ll need to have a word. It’s all a bit weird!

ferntwist · 13/01/2018 07:48

Is he hot?

Tinkofhousepan · 13/01/2018 12:01

Hot or not, that is not a situation I want to tangle in! About to meet my friend! I will let you know the response

OP posts:
okeydokeygirl · 13/01/2018 15:34

OP YADNBU. Bit weird of him to do this! What on earth made him think this is OK. Def be really clear you and your boyfriend will not hanging out with him or looking after him. Looking forward to your update after you speak to your friend. And thanks for brill thread everyone. Makes a lovely change from a lot of the nastiness that has apeared on MN recently. Grin
