CF Have come to stay - The morning after

638 replies

SeriouslyLosingTheWill · 19/08/2022 22:33

The first thread is full so I'll start a new one, in case there is a dramatic update in the morning.

I actually feel emotionally drained right now. I keep almost crying. Pathetic. Probably the wine thats doing that.

I'll be going to bed shortly and i'll update tomorrow if theres anything to add. I reckon they will be up early and go quietly though.

They don't drive a ford ranger (I remember that thread! haven't looked at a ford ranger driver the same since!) Its a bmw something or other.

Dp cleared up the kitchen and 1 dc (dd19) came down and helped, so thats all good. She then came out, gave me a little hug and said DP had explained about the food. She then lit up and offered me a cigarette (WTF! I don't smoke and although had an inkling wasn't sure she did) and said no ones perfect, everyone has failings. Honestly i'm in a parallel universe tonight.

Dp has put most of the beers away in the garage, just left in the fridge what was there. I do wonder if they will take them home.

Heres the first one if anyone wants to catch up as not sure I can give a proper summery right now www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4614982-cf-have-come-to-stay-how-to-handle-it?page=23&reply=119364945

Will never understand some people good on you OP

HoppingKangaroo · 20/08/2022 07:47

Me too! Was convinced this was real Do you think this thread is made up?

Clawdy · 20/08/2022 07:49

Everyone is saying this thread is made up, there is another thread about it!

BreakHerOffAKitKat · 20/08/2022 07:51

Can some link the other thread please? I can't find it

XelaM · 20/08/2022 07:52

You're a legend OP 😂😂😂

MaggieFS · 20/08/2022 07:54

Have they gone yet?

TenoringBehind · 20/08/2022 07:57

assuming it’s true, I think you and your dh were awesome yesterday but I do think hiding the croissants is juvenile and spiteful.

Youaremysunshine14 · 20/08/2022 07:59

So depressingly predictable that all the naysayers have arrived after the event to roll their eyes. You've clearly never read the Mexican house thief thread, which took CF-ery to an international level – that wasn't made up and nor was this.

1fluffydoodle · 20/08/2022 07:59

Wonder what's going on now.....waiting for news.
is anyone up for a croissant for breakfast yet ?

I hope you got some sleep OP! Well done for standing up for yourselves. Hopefully the CFs will already have quietly left, but if not, we have your back!

ememem84 · 20/08/2022 07:59

Woah. Cheekys.

Beachbabe1 · 20/08/2022 08:01

IvorCutler · 20/08/2022 08:01

That was a great one.
Did you read the scaffolding one? It ran to 4 threads! That maybe a record.

If the troll hunters think this is made up then stick to the rules. Say nowt on the thread and report to HQ and scroll on by.

Your tiresome whining is irritating.

KosherDill · 20/08/2022 08:04

Love "Steakzillas"!

Well done, OP.

Lottapianos · 20/08/2022 08:07

Please STOP with the troll hunting. You're all so boring

OP, I'm so glad that you are feeling proud of yourself, and that you found people's support on here to be helpful. It is not easy standing up to cheeky sods like this, but I promise it gets easier with practice. As I said last night, I wouldnt give them a bloody crumb this morning, just tell them to get packed and get moving. Good luck whatever happens!

Onlyhuman123 · 20/08/2022 08:07

Itsbritneybitch22 · 20/08/2022 00:07

Wow can’t get over them spending so much money when they thought you was paying and then saying they wouldn’t have if they was paying 😩

So rude!

My eyes have been on stalks with each update!

And I agree with you @Itsbritneybitch22, I'm pretty sure I would have told them to pack and leave there and then. Honestly they really are horrible people especially to say that! If they'd had too much alcohol, tough...sleep in the car.

theveg · 20/08/2022 08:09

I have been loving this thread and the last one OP.

Troll hunters can get lost. So what if it was well written?? It is perfectly plausible that OP is a good writer and has also experienced this CF-ery.
