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

Wow that's mad! They are sooo cheeky! Even if they did want to relax that does not stop them offering to pay for meals, or shopping!! I think I would assumed when they said they were coming to stay, but aren't even close to either of you, that they would of been out a lot - not using your house as an all inclusive resort - breakfast, lunch and tea!!

katepilar · 20/08/2022 14:32

Glad they are gone, enjoy your weeken! Thank you for the update.

SapphosRock · 20/08/2022 14:33

I wonder if they offered to have you stay at theirs in return? Or if they regularly host people and pay for everything? (Clutching at straws)

Mix56 · 20/08/2022 14:36

I'm certain CFW will have deliberately put hand fulls of wet wipes down the loo.

They have stolen the beers,

Relieved they have gone under the rock they crawled out from

ClottedCreamAndStrawberries · 20/08/2022 14:42

Well done to you OP, a huge high five ✋ I’m very impressed with how you handled it last night. I must admit that I’m secretly disappointed that there wasn’t a huge showdown this morning an actual real life MN bunfight with the croissants!!!

That being said, I think it was better that they left quietly and at least tried to acknowledge their error.

I asked another poster on another thread if they would send their enemy a glitter bomb but they didn’t seem keen. Maybe you’d consider it?

uncomfortablydumb53 · 20/08/2022 14:48

I'm so glad they've gone but it's incredible how much self awareness they lack
Treating you like staff because they're on holiday!!!
They have to pay a bill in a hotel, shows how they think!
Hats off to you for standing your ground and your DP for backing you up.
Enjoy the peace and quiet now they've finally gone

Thinkingblonde · 20/08/2022 14:48

I’ve read both threads and applaud you and DH for your tenacity. I’d have cracked days ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if they use their daughters illness as a way to tug the heart strings to blag free holidays.

LookItsMeAgain · 20/08/2022 14:59

If the empties aren't there @SeriouslyLosingTheWill , they took those 5 bottled beers.

Once again, I think you handled the whole situation, once you were 100% sure that they actually were CFers of the highest order, with aplomb! Give yourself and your DH a pat on the back and crack open something tonight while you curl up on the sofa and watch whatever you want to watch.

whynotwhatknot · 20/08/2022 15:10

cheeky bastards i would have said oh where is it you stay and get free food and drink from then

Another shameless placeholder for septic tank update

SeriouslyLosingTheWill · 20/08/2022 15:20

Good point about the empty beer bottles. There are none in or around their room. Unless they put them in the recycling but I very much doubt that! Which means they probably took them with them. Jeez, how petty!

A glitter bomb sounds tempting but I don’t actually know their address! They are not on our Christmas card list 😂

As for the septic tank, a blockage usually transpires when it gets emptied as a truck comes along with a hose thingy and it’s usually that which blocks and then we get charged extra for the unblocking of their hose thingy. It’s not due for a while yet I don’t think, that’s DPs domain, I keep well out of septic tank maintenance.

All of you saying cheeky fucker!! I’ve been convinced for years - YEARS, I tell you that it was cunty fucker. That’s what I’ve read for years!!

woodhill · 20/08/2022 15:26

How long would they have stayed for if you hadn't said anything OP?

IamnotaStepfordHousewife · 20/08/2022 15:27

Blimey! Glad it's all over for you. Only saw the original thread this morning and have finally caught up.

Wishihadanalgorithm · 20/08/2022 15:38

OP, are you not tempted to send them a link to the two threads?

Scottishskifun · 20/08/2022 15:42

I hope you both have a lovely relaxing weekend now OP.

Your guests did remind me of my MIl who came to visit stayed a week complained about every meal I cooked, didn't make herself or anyone else a single cup of tea, expected us to take her out for days out and lunches (and pay for it) and we had a 8 week old baby then said thanks for the holiday I needed that...... safe to say she hasnt stayed with us since over 3 years now.

Cranarc · 20/08/2022 15:42

I haven't commented until now but I have read all of your updates on both threads, OP. And I just want to say "well done, you". Glad to hear the CFs have now gone and that they did at least apologise after a fashion.

Quackpot · 20/08/2022 15:44

Same thing though really 🤣 cheeky cunty fuckers

bringbackveronicamars · 20/08/2022 15:52

So they even stole the rest of the beers in the fridge. Wow. They are beyond shocking and clearly was a fake 'thank you' to your husband this morning.I noticed they pointedly ignored OP, again!, and bought something she can't eat.

Really shitty human beings there.

Glad you and your DH put the rest of the alcohol in your room last night else they'd have stolen that, too.
