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.

Excellent update! Thank you 😊

Trinity65 · 23/09/2022 21:49

You sound quite unsufferable
What an anti climax

ThisMammaCat · 23/09/2022 21:49

I actually found the ending pretty satisfying tbh. Simple, to the point, and repeatedly proved he was bs'ing. Nice. Glad it's over now and the electrics are sorted!

Helpinghand77 · 23/09/2022 21:49

Phew! Closure😀

apalershadeoflight · 23/09/2022 21:49

Yay! So relieved you weren't actually bound and gagged in the out building!

I think you handled it very well.

Thanks for putting half the nation ( and half of Canada and Australia) out of our misery 😁

Jesus you all need to chill the eff out. Ripping apart OP cause she took longer than expected to update .. cause she has a life outside MN unlike some clearly.

nicely handled and the best outcome OP

PDAmomma · 23/09/2022 21:50

Great job OP, I think you handled it great! He must be SO mortified.
(I still think they were shagging in your out-house tho!!)

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 23/09/2022 21:50

Glad you got a day wiped off the invoice.

Like a PP said - make sure you wipe your whole house down!

Vapeyvapevape · 23/09/2022 21:50

I'd like to see the pic of them in your house, you can scribble their faces out.

dutyfirstselfsecond · 23/09/2022 21:50

Excellent conclusion and well
Handled

Silly (randy) bastard

Who was she? Do you recognise her?

For those questioning my posts on other threads...

Yes, technically I live in a three bedroom house but the third bedroom was converted into an upstairs bathroom some years ago by previous owners. I can't be bothered to check but I think it was on a thread about bathroom renovations and it was to give an indication of space/layout of my house. But in reality, but house is a two bedroom house with a upstairs and downstairs bathroom.

Secondly, yes, my son has recently turned three (this week). In my previous post on another thread (again, I can't be bothered to check) I said he was three before he turned three (shock fucking horror) because it's a damn sight quicker than typing he's two and 8/9/10 or however many months he was at the time and felt less pedantic.

Christ alive.

Cool story bro

IvyPlant · 23/09/2022 21:55

No, I didn't ask him about the fluffy blanket in the end. Tbh, I didn't really want to know. His mortification was enough.

Well done OP. What a bloody cheek of him to lie and keep on lying. Did he think you were an idiot ? Such a stupid and unprofessional thing to do, surely he could snog her on his own time ? Book a hotel for a weekend or something.
