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.

@Dave20 it's really weird, isn't it? I was just saying to DH I find it bizarre that people make up stories for Mumsnet in their free time! I see zero appeal in it and wonder what the motivation is? Attention? No hobbies?

I'd bet money they're paid by MN to keep engagement going

Oops sorry gremlins

Just having same conversation with my DP! I don't get it either. I could not be arsed to keep up thread after thread, especially the way OP was arguing with people who dared to criticise her. What a waste of time for everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if MN take this thread down soon.

This is all that's left of the sex teacher nightmare holiday thread.
It carried on for 4 threads but the final 2 got deleted after the outing. She also had a name change fail on the 1st thread

She did another long and dramatic thread not too long after - either her child got covid or her ex did and she was debating whether to collect or not. People linked the two threads, even more deletions followed and a lot of silence.

Mojitoo · 23/09/2022 21:18

Why the drama when it’s only been an hour?

Yes, yes. That's exactly what is relevant.

Nevertouchakoala · 23/09/2022 21:18

do a live…

Dinomum79 · 23/09/2022 21:19

Oh no, I had popcorn and everything!

I like the idea of making up the ending…..

the electrician is an undercover over policeman , the woman is his partner and they are staking out neighbours who are international master criminals. They now need to send the baby in like Tom cruise in mission impossible with a wire whilst playing marble run

im sure you can do better 😂

Yes exactly! Such an effort and huge waste of your free time 😅and I don't understand what they're getting out of it. Ah well. The mind boggles.

Helpinghand77 · 23/09/2022 21:21

Yep. Time to make up our own ending to this....

Wineforbreakfast · 23/09/2022 21:22

Love it! 🤣🤣🤣

Didimum · 23/09/2022 21:01

OP said she wanted to review her footage from today too. Luckily I don’t think she will care that some people here need to seriously get a grip and post when she’s ready. She’s clearly a methodical person.

This @Didimum

MervynPumpkinhead · 23/09/2022 21:26

@ChateauxNeufDePoop yes you are right, it's all flooding back haha
2 days prior she was supposedly laid up with covid so ill she couldn't move or look after the kids so had left them in pj's for 2 days, then 2 days after that all of a sudden she was on holiday as happy as Larry.
That would be why she wanted to name change on the holiday thread, but failed miserably, so she wouldn't be outed too early on.
Thr worrying this was that fantasist poster was supposedly a teacher, if even that was true, who knows?

Just here for the deletion message.

AdInfinitum12 · 23/09/2022 21:28

Since we won't get an actual ending to this story I'll share my own thoughts:

The OP suffers from a rare illness, memory problems combined with the inability to recognise faces. Each day she gets home, instantly forgetting what she's done that day and watches her door cam footage, seeing this mysterious woman enter her house. Plot twist. What we, as both readers and the OP, didn't realise is that the OP is watching footage of herself entering her house and having it away with the electrician.

SueDCreme · 23/09/2022 21:30

I'm still wondering what type of house the OP lives in
Is it Victorian or a bog standard semi? 🤔
