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: I'll write it up soon.

8:06pm

OP: I was building a marble run. Shall I do Insta?

It probably would have taken 5 minutes to type what happened, OP. The longer it takes you, the more I smell bullshit.

Please tell me this wasn't really made up?! Gutted.

OhMalakas · 23/09/2022 20:41

Unfair to keep us on the hook for days and not post the ending for all to see. Im not getting insta just for the outcome.

Toastiemaker · 23/09/2022 20:41

Never mind, it was good while it lasted...

BeyondApproach · 23/09/2022 20:41

Just tell us what he had to say for himself. Goddammit woman!

IvorCutler · 23/09/2022 20:42

Sláinte! 🥃

PDAmomma · 23/09/2022 20:43

Did I miss anything? Have I missed the season finale (frantically scanning for updates)

GarlicCrackers · 23/09/2022 20:43

Look, I'm pregnant and on bedrest.

If I don't get the conclusion I've been waiting for I'm going to have stern words....with uh, the Internet

PorkPieAndAPickledOnion · 23/09/2022 20:43

The OP’s going to make us sit through a live MLM presentation before she spills, isn’t she?

SueDCreme · 23/09/2022 20:43

Ah well...it was good while it lasted

MarinoRoyale · 23/09/2022 20:43

Please tell me people aren’t still believing this load of tosh 😂

MiseryWIthAStent · 23/09/2022 20:43

I was with it til the insta bit. Now I wish even if OP is trolling they had just written an ending because it feels like ending a book just before the final chapter.

GettingItOutThere · 23/09/2022 20:45

please do not tell me OP is a troll!! Gutting!

I am starting to think she is not actually going to type out a conclusion!

Yep, this.

Ah believed this until the last update. Usually I don't get dragged along for so long!

me too.

Mojitoo · 23/09/2022 20:46

The OP will be watching. There will be another round of: 'You guys!, jeez, I was just pouring some wine/falling over Lego/checking my Insta stats, before possibly trying a 'conclusion' offering for anyone left.

There really is always 'that moment' with these threads. It was a good run.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 23/09/2022 20:47

I’ve had to change my settings, contact MNHQ to sort out my tech issues JUST so I can read this thread. I’m far too invested now.

Tiredandancient50 · 23/09/2022 20:48

Why don’t we just decide the ending to the tale? Any thoughts?

iwantmyownicecreamvan · 23/09/2022 20:48

Yeah - I appear to have had my insta account permanently disabled for not following their guidelines even though I have never posted a single thing on it. When I tried to join via FB it wouldn't let me because my email was already being used - but disabled, so no Instagram for me - ever, it would seem. Looks like I'll miss the end of the story then.

DarkShade · 23/09/2022 20:48

Come on guys lay off the OP, she didn't actually expect the thread to make it this far and now has to come up with an ending... 😀

Vapeyvapevape · 23/09/2022 20:48

Apart from the Insta moment, at what point did people realise this wasn't real?

KTKismet · 23/09/2022 20:48

Now on the season finale of desperate housewives...

Gosh, give the lady time to write it! People do have lives!
