You guys need to stop filling the thread when nothing is happening!!

In the meantime I had the most amazing nights sleep last night. Absolutely full of food and had an amazing day and frankly this morning I couldn't care if he's there for 6 months Grin

I think DB might need to be careful here. CF will be trying to get him on side painting OP as the flaky 'unpunctual' one not being there with the key.

When in fact the only unpunctual person I. The whole scenario is, of course, CF.

At 7.30 you absolutely have to text him.

“Will be 5 mins”

Then take your sweet, sweet time.

*ShamelessCurtainTwitcher

I cannot be the only American who has read all three threads and has been left in awe at how much the British can endure without shooting someone.*

Watch and learn, Twitcher. Watch and learn.

If he sits outside for two hours won’t he notice you haven’t actually come home?

viques · 02/08/2021 17:43

Booking my front row seat for 7.30.

(Am betting he brings CelebX as his wingman hoping that his presence makes you all fluttering and gooey eyed so you drop your best MN head- on- one- side- eyebrow -raised -professional- persona .)

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 02/08/2021 17:44

At 7.45 text

“Just having a quick bike ride and picnic with the kids. Sure you understand”

atlastifoundit · 02/08/2021 17:45

"7.30? This evening??? No... not 7.30 this evening... I meant 7.30 tomorrow morning"

Window1 · 02/08/2021 17:45

That must have been a surprise when he knocked after being told no.

So you didn't even get a chance to pre plan this improvisation that your DB is now taking full advantage of!

How long has he been hanging around now?

ifIwerenotanandroid · 02/08/2021 17:45

Cat - yes!!!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/08/2021 17:45

I’m so glad I found the update!!!

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 02/08/2021 17:45

At 8.00
Oh shit, left my hand bag with keys in it at dd’s ballet class, just popping back to get it, shan’t be long.”

Needapoodle · 02/08/2021 17:45

Right who else is settling in for half 7 now?

Window1 · 02/08/2021 17:45

Have you heard any mutterings of an apology? Does he seem sheepish?

SixesAndEights · 02/08/2021 17:45

@DepressedDD

At that point OP tells him there's another way out and she returned home that way. Grin
ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule · 02/08/2021 17:45

Your DB is amazing Grin

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 17:46

@DepressedDD she’s coming from her land, through another entrance, he would to irated to rationalised that

LavenderAskew · 02/08/2021 17:46

@DepressedDD

Makes not difference does it?

Though unlikely he'll sit outside, he's got to go to a semi-famous footballer's house.

doudouchouchou · 02/08/2021 17:47

Your DB is a legend

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/08/2021 17:47

@Needapoodle

Might set an alarm on my phone…
84Win · 02/08/2021 17:47

Shamelessly placemarking for the epic conclusion.

SixesAndEights · 02/08/2021 17:48

Am so glad that he has, at last, been inconvenienced.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 02/08/2021 17:48

Your DB is a legend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

trevthecat · 02/08/2021 17:48

I'm so invested in this thread! Kids will be tucked up in bed by 7:15 to see how it unfolds 😂

MaMelon · 02/08/2021 17:49

Absolutely gutted I’ll be out at 7.30 so if this goes beyond 1000 posts please someone start a 4th thread.

BruceAndNosh · 02/08/2021 17:49

"Arrive home" at 7.35.
Precisely 5 minutes late so that you can show exactly what 5 minutes looks like.
And its not 2 and a half days
