For those following this existing thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4635864-tradesperson-inviting-people-into-my-home?page=1 aka the tale of the fluffy blanket and the dodgy electrics thread, it continues here.

Nothing new to add at the moment though, but the previous thread is almost at capacity.

Started following from NY yesterday as the story popped up on my home page. If the two of them come across the story daily mail story, they're definitely going to know. I can't wait to hear the conclusion.

Can't wait to hear his excuses

Between this and the Creepy Garden Music thread it has been an absolutely golden week on Mumsnet.

OP loving your approach - can't wait to hear the next instalment

What happened to the Creepy Garden Music thread I was hoping for a second night update!

It has been pulled on the OP's request as apparently the situation has "escalated"!

If this gets pulled before the conclusion I swear to God I'm starting a Go Fund Me and suing the Daily Mail!!!

So frustrating when threads just disappear. I understand that in the end the OPs have to think of the impact on their real lives but it is still frusgtrating when you have been following for hours and/or days

What does that mean ????
Is there more to the creepy music box - was there someone there ????

@IvyPlant i’d check if you’ve posted any identifying details on any other thread if the Fail have picked it up. I think the only way this community stops the journos is if everyone has a user name which includes the words daily mail and cunts unfortunately…

They would just obscure the usernames would be my guess

Adventurine · 23/09/2022 16:49

I need closure, OP. How did it end??

Maytodecember · 23/09/2022 16:49

I can’t see how your house is identifiable. IMO you’ve done everything correctly to minimise risk.

I think I'd want a 50% discount or maybe three days discount. Provable missed day, plus another day that he might have missed but you can't prove it so you will assume he didn't work unless he can prove otherwise, plus a third and maybe fourth day as compensation for the gross invasion of privacy.

IvyPlant · 23/09/2022 17:08

It has concluded. I'm just messaging to let you all know there was no physical violence involved! I will write up what happened later this evening when little one has gone to bed. I'm just doing the nursery pick up.

Oh man. I do hope the daily mail hasn’t put @IvyPlant off updating. Please let us know

interesting how little things in life changes with home security cameras.

Stuberfud · 23/09/2022 17:12

This is better than Corrie!!

BitOutOfPractice · 23/09/2022 17:12

Damn you op <shakes fist at sky> a non-update update you little tease!

You’ve played a blinder @IvyPlant. Can’t wait for the update, you’ve done everything by the book. Fair play to you.

Well done! X
