MIL has stolen my shoes!

This is not a joke...!

Historically I've had a very difficult relationship with Satan my MIL. DH pops his head in once a week on his way home from work but we otherwise have little to do with the witch. We get on OK when we do see her.

Last week I had to work away and she did massively help us out by popping in and checking on the puppy.... and since then I cannot find my very, very naice pair of wellies that my lovely DM treated me to.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, DH went in to say hi yesterday eve and my wellies were there, neat by my backdoor. He immediately said "are they showjumpers wellies?", she laughed and said "no, of course they're not." DH then said "oh showjumper has lost hers, exactly the same."
She then laughed and commented how absentminded I am!!

(I am but that's not the point!)

With risk of sounding awful, I do not think she would be familiar with the brand and even if she was, she would have the money to spend £300+ on a pair of wellies.

WWYD? All suggestions appreciated Grin

I love that it’s on a talk show!

This is amazing!!

"You be opening up my eyes Jeannie, that's a great point."

Hmm

This makes Loose Women feel like high brow TV.

Maybe send the link to Satan Grin

Lol!! Grin Hosts called her a thief on the show!! But the talk show missed the best bit about how DH took them back!!

You have a great DH there @ratherbeshowjumping

He has the measure of his DM and she's just digging a bigger hole for herself. She's making it very obvious she can't be trusted. Has you DH taken back her keys? I missed that bit, if he has.

I'm just LOLing that people still think Hunter wellies are expensive, when nowadays they are just imported shite.

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 08/10/2018 18:13

Maybe send the link to Satan

Stirrups on the leathers best, as you can get a good swing, and the peacock safety ones fab, as they have the little knobbly bit . Many's the time I've hit myself in the face when children haven't run their stirrups up properly, and I've taken the saddle off for them, so swung on a leather it would be lethal! :-D

Biddie191 · 09/10/2018 10:27

PS I now have serious boot envy.....

saffyBoo · 09/10/2018 14:51

Tamara from sister sister 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

ColinsVeryJolly · 09/10/2018 14:58

I ❤️ Tamera!

That programme though Grin

saffyBoo · 09/10/2018 15:36

I need a picture of the boots please

ShotsFired · 09/10/2018 17:10

My ex mil met up with my partners ex. Which is weird enough as there is considerable time passed and distance involved

But she scheduled a big family do around that, so we all met up after her happy reunion and acted like nothing was weird.

That awful woman is one reason to be happy I am no longer with that partner I suppose.

ratherbeshowjumping · 09/10/2018 17:19

I thought I recognised her from somewhere!! I loved Sister Sister!!

I will take a pic of my chams when they are clean, they are disgusting at the moment Blush🙈

@ShotsFired that's very odd...! Would love to know what runs through their heads. Luckily Satan isn't a fan of DHs ex (she too wasn't good enough for her darling boy).

Note to self: never return her phone calls.

saffyBoo · 09/10/2018 17:46

Actually looking forward to seeing a pic of said boots

RandomMess · 09/10/2018 20:12

Only just watched the clip Shock
