CoatZilla and the Barbour Boy- The Second Saga

792 replies

LanaKaneIsWeirdedOut · 29/10/2019 11:09

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.

Wine Brew Cake or Gin 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?

Crikey after all the drama of yesterday you would think OP would either update or take down thread!!! Maybe a suicide / murder will be on the ten O clock news tonight!! The only clue being a ripped Barbour jacket!! All very weird!! Am gonna get on with my life now 🙄

LionKingLover · 30/10/2019 18:58

Hope all is okay op

Preparingfor · 30/10/2019 19:01

Grandmi I'm sure she will in good time if appropriate, posters don't owe anyone anything, who knows what may have happened - she may need some space.

SandAndSea · 30/10/2019 19:07

.....surely rolling body up in a Barbour jacket........

Too soon?

^ Very nicely done.

Newmumma83 · 30/10/2019 20:11

Hi op I do hope you are ok? Guessing no news is fingers crossed good news Flowers

Orchidflower1 · 30/10/2019 20:19

@LanaKaneIsWeirdedOut

Please come back and let us know how it panned out. Lots of us are invested in this! Hope the pow wow went well.

MathsFiend · 30/10/2019 20:21

Maybe OP and Barbourella have come together as a detective team to discover who slashed the jacket.

It was.......... Rebekah Vardy

Teaandbiscuits88 · 30/10/2019 20:23

@MathsFiend Best. Comment. Ever.

PSILoveWine · 30/10/2019 20:25

Plot twist..
Friend is holding family hostage until one of them admit they cut the coat, meanwhile a ghost has been let roam on the night before Halloween and is now cutting up op's coats in her wardrobe.

RosesAndLilies · 30/10/2019 20:27

Anyone else hate when the OP has a life and is too busy to reply!

#overinvested

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 30/10/2019 20:36

@Singlebutmarried I don't think she ever found it

If she had found it she could have ironed the Barbour Grin

Redshoesandtheblues · 30/10/2019 20:47

I've kept myself occupied, but I admit I keep checking .

OP obviously does have a life, but she still needs to go to loo and take her time dumping one out!! Whilst furiously texting at least a quick up date for her audience.

Just saying.

Purpleneonpinkunicorns · 30/10/2019 21:00

I keep coming back on my to see if theres a update....

Please come and update us op it's been a long 24hours not knowing Blush

Janus · 30/10/2019 21:05

Bleeding hell! I’ve been checking in all day, need to get a life!!!

ChongADong · 30/10/2019 21:07

@mathsfiend aghahahhahahhahahahahahahhaha

Taraswell · 30/10/2019 21:08

See that update we're waiting for ......

Neva gonna get it
Neva gonna, get it
Neva gonna get, it
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Can't actually remember who sang that song??

Taraswell · 30/10/2019 21:09

Think I left a whoa out there Grin

Llioed · 30/10/2019 21:11

En Vogue??

xsarax · 30/10/2019 21:11

Haha Tara I believe it was en vogue Grin

Monkeymilkshake · 30/10/2019 21:16

I may be missing the point but why can't the crazy coat lady just sew up the bit that's been cut? Is it a big cut? Surely it would take 5 mins to sew it up and be done with it! Hmm

Franticterrapin · 30/10/2019 21:20

Do you think one of them confessed to snipping the coat? ConfusedGrin
I jest, of course. Also far too invested and waiting for an update 👀

Taraswell · 30/10/2019 21:21

Envogue! Yes Grin

Taraswell · 30/10/2019 21:23

Monkey milk shake, after so much on both threads you have just made me laugh so much with that!

Starlight456 · 30/10/2019 21:29

Taraswell · 30/10/2019 21:32
