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.

OP you’ve handled this so much better than I, or possibly anyone could’ve done! Hats off to you, can’t wait for the update

I hope that the OP comes back. It's like waiting for the Eastenders "doof doof" drum roll at the end of an episode.

That’s exactly it!😂😂

Glad all has been sorted @IvyPlant

Goodness it sounds like it may hit gotten heated! You deserve a stiff drink to settle your nerves this evening.

Here's to hoping @IvyPlant jnr goes down easily this evening!

I've been so invested in this for so long 🤣 my partner has forgotten what I look like since my head has been in my phone for days 🤣

TedLassosMoustache · 23/09/2022 18:45

I’ve been thinking about you all week!!

runsforsanity · 23/09/2022 18:49

I have to confess I’m literally SO invested in this 🤣 fair play to you @IvyPlant for keeping us updated and fluffy blankets aside, this must have been horrible for you knowing your trust had been abused and more so in your own home. I think you’ve handled this amazingly 👏🏻

BryanAdamsLeftAnkle · 23/09/2022 18:51

I have had a crap day at clinics today and I'm just going to get comfy. Bra off, jammies on... At least my knees will be warm. Glass of something nice in hand....

XelaM · 23/09/2022 18:51

this thread is awesome 🍿

IvorCutler · 23/09/2022 18:52

My messages look rude. I hit the whiskey early this evening. I am also completely invested and impressed.

MiceInTgeHouse · 23/09/2022 18:55

I can only see her walk past my front door to the back garden gate, she knocks and then the feed ends. She's seen leaving 4 hours later. The next day, same thing, except 3 hours.

Did you forget you wrote this OP? 😉

Here in the states, waiting on the final episode. Hope it's satisfying like "Who Shot JR?" rather than "Who Sits on the Iron Throne." Can't wait. Think I need popcorn.

No, but it's a lot quicker to explain than:

As she walks past the camera, the camera angle cuts off just before I see her reach the gate. But I suspect she enters my gate because I hear it scraping across the floor and it makes a distinctive sound. Although I don't see her cross over into my garden, I suspect she does based on the sound I hear. She then knocks on the back door or window, I can't tell which because I can't see it, but I can hear it.

Not very compelling to read is it 🙃

Little one is just going to bed now. I do have an audio recording of our final conversation but obviously I can't post it on here without his permission (not that he ever sought mine to invite her into my house...) But anyway. I'll switch to my laptop and write up shortly.

I think that was what she could initially see on the outside cctv. She since bought indoor cameras

'But anyway. I'll switch to my laptop and write up shortly.'

Have a glass of wine and give yourself a pat on the back too!

MamaSharkDooDooDooDooDooDooo · 23/09/2022 19:12

Looking forward to the full debrief!

Read the whole of the other post but nearly didn't open this one as I didn't realise it was related 😱 luckily I am nosy and it had the most views in the email so I clicked on it. Phew!

OP, I feel awful for saying this because this week has obviously been stressful for you. But Thankyou. Thank you for this amazing entertainment. The suspense is killing me.

Did he beg you not to tell his wife?

SueDCreme · 23/09/2022 19:19

Did you drop kick the pillow into the back of his van secretly wishing it was his head?

Thisgroupneverceasestoamazeme · 23/09/2022 19:21
