CoatZilla and the Barbour Boy- The Second Saga

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?

Oops Pineapple/BarbourAnn is triggered

atlanticblueandgreen · 31/10/2019 07:23

You lot were very keen to point out troll hunting was against the rules earlier.

Sunnysidegold · 31/10/2019 07:36

Awww I read the first thread then skimmed this one for updates. Gutted there isnt one. Delighted by the poetry styles that were posted!

BlueChangeling · 31/10/2019 07:39

I haven't been on mumsnet long but I've already gotten a list of unsolved mysterys.

  1. Lunch club
  2. Very catelougue payments.
  3. The house guest who wouldn't move out.
  4. The barbour coat.

Are post and runs a regular occurance?

MyFartWillGoOn · 31/10/2019 07:43

@BlueChangeling The Very thread has been updated recently and OP has made a stand.

Hopefully we'll get closure on this!

Taraswell · 31/10/2019 08:03

Omg was lunch club not updated either???? I'd read it and forgotten about it! Can't believe she didn't update... well actually I can GrinGrin

herbie01 · 31/10/2019 08:05

@BlueChangeling
The Pregzilla Drink Thief story was left hanging too

fazakerleyjackie · 31/10/2019 08:06

Reporting that I am now " watching" a Barbour on ebay.
It will be a few days before there is anything to report. Just sayin'
So keep calm and carry on.

fazakerleyjackie · 31/10/2019 08:08

Over " reporting" usage in my earlier post.
Pedants welcome.

Day Four in the Big Barbour hoose......

@MyFartWillGoOn

Shameless begging - do you have a link to the very thread by any chance? I thought about it the other day but I couldn't remember the title!

Josephinebettany · 31/10/2019 08:39

Can't believe she hasn't updated

MyFartWillGoOn · 31/10/2019 08:44

@AFairlyHardAvocado No problem-it recently resurfaced!

To be wary of making any further payments? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/3703414-To-be-wary-of-making-any-further-payments

BloggersBlog · 31/10/2019 08:49

There's been a few threads in the same pattern lately. Huge CF rant, everyone on side, a couple of dissenters ("ooh I think CF has joined the thread!") Build up to the big showdown....then pfft... Nothing. So ruddy annoying.
Yes I know it is someone's real life, we aren't entitled to an update, etc etc but people take time to give advice so to hear nothing grates sometimes.
Saying that..I hope OP is ok and coping if there is backlash IRL

SchadenfiendeUnmortified · 31/10/2019 08:57

If she's not coming back can we not just derail with poetry and random speculation?

It's always the best bit on these threads anyway.

Facecadet · 31/10/2019 09:00

Followed from the beginning, need an update!

AmIThough · 31/10/2019 09:04

@SchadenfiendeUnmortified did you miss the Haikus yesterday morning?

AFairlyHardAvocado · 31/10/2019 09:07

@MyFartWillGoOn ah you legend thank you!
