CoatZilla and the Barbour Boy- The Second Saga

[LanaKaneIsWeirdedOut]

Hey everyone!

Bloody hell, in all my years of MNing I've never had a response like this, I was really helped by loads of your replies, and loads made me giggle (Roast Potatoes!!) and loads made good points.

I'm sorry I can't reply to specific posts but seriously there's so many.

or for everyone who replied and is sticking with me.

So on to the update.....

CoatZilla, henceforth to be known as CZ, text again last night....

Here it is word for word.
mate, your obviously upset and that was never my intention. I'm sorry that we argued, I honestly didn't see the conversation going that way when I brought it up. I think it's better we let the dust settle for tonight in honesty. Probably best to have a calm conversation tomorrow evening?

My reply....
Yeah tomorrow evening much better I think

And she didn't come back last night (good!)

So she's made a mistake anyway......cos Dad was actually out last night ! So we'll all be sitting there when she comes back.

My plan is, to write a list of bullet points for tonight of things she definitely said, so I can't forget and she can't back out of it or claim she didn't say it (I also remembered another bit in the fucking row- where she went "Oh, so a fucking ghost did it?" in that tone of voice- fucking horrible)

Also to sit calmly and let her explain to my lovely Dad and DP that she thinks they might have maliciously cut her coat.

Then see what she says!

TBH unless she fucking grovels on her knees (not likely after that fucking last text- minimization or what??) I'm going to be asking her to pack her stuff.

I'm not being "spurred on by hysterical posters"

I have read all the replies, some have opened my eyes, some have been excusing, some have told me not to rock the friendship boat....overall I have taken a middle(ish) ground.....but tbh it's clear she is
a) weird/horrible enough to think that of her oldest friend and her family
b) fucking vicious in a row
c) now backtracking massively

So....thoughts???

And again for the troll hunters in the back......my username currently is always "LanaKanesomething", and I've had various other names going back years.....so bloody well report me and see what MN has to say, yeah?

@AdobeWanKenobi Apologies once again, guess we just had the smallest bunfight in MN history

@AloneLonelyLoner
That's a ripping good limerick!

Well it's not obvious to me that the OP has gone for good.

Just pretend you're on a bus and heard the person behind you talking on her phone and giving a rundown of all this happening to her.

Then she got off the bus.

@Happityhap Oh you’re just trying to rile people up now aren’t you?

It works for me Happity

I don't think OP is coming back. She knew she had a thread-full of posters waiting for an update since tea time yesterday and she hasn't posted a word? Not even a 'sorry, can't talk now, will be back later'? I think she's forgiven the friend, is letting her stay living with her and doesn't want to face a barrage of 'are you mad!' comments.

@IAmPrettyWisdomous the smallest and politest haha

She is coming back.

@IAmPrettyWisdomous it is a bit like someone ripped the last few pages out of a cracking mystery novel tbh

Maybe they’ve made up and have gone coat shopping together.

You are all mad

The MN baying mob (may as well chant “lock her up!”) is outta control!

I think she'll be back, she's a regular and I've seen her around under other Lana names - I fear the fallout is worse than she was expecting and she is licking her wounds a bit before coming back remember it's her DC's half term, and she has family members who aren't well, so hopefully they are all ok.

There's nothing worse than having someone living in your home who you dread coming home or having "the talk". Feel for you OP.

No update?

Hope there is nothing wrong with her dh or df they were recently ill after all

Well that was anti-climatic.. Bets on op just letting it blow over or said friend reading these threads 😂

It's half term and perhaps OP is busy. I am as curious as the next person but there is no reason to turn on her because she hasn't immediately updated.

@AdobeWanKenobi I think I vaguely recall that!

She is coming back.

Have you spoken to her @3luckystars?

Another vote for the son admitting liability

Do we deserve a regular update?
No.
Life- other life, you know, that other stuff that had a break and caused you to start a thread in the first place- gets in the way. Inconsiderate, maybe. But it happens.

Maybe she is having a new patio put in...
We may be needed as alibis...

Argh! I went to the loo and missed the hot potato comment!

@AdobeWanKenobi you seem to know an awful lot about "interesting" old threads whose OP disappeared. I would love to start a thread asking posters to reminisce about what they remembered fondly but it will be BOTH a TAAT and troll hunting so won't live long

@chocorabbit Over the years you get more cynical. There is very little on here I believe anymore sadly, though always happy to be proven wrong.
There are other places these things can be discussed though
