The tale of the fluffy blanket and the dodgy electrics

[IvyPlant]

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.

I don’t think I could have stayed so calm and collected.

It would have been the disrespect for my home that would have annoyed me.

Well played op.

£425. Wow. He’s costly.

👏🏻Bravo!
Love it, 💐🍷thank you OP.

Glad you got some dollar off!

Gah! Have just caught up and missed the photo. Congratulations OP on such a gripping thread! Reckon you could have a future in writing novels if you wanted to. Thanks for days of entertainment! So glad you didn’t let him get away with it and will hopefully think twice before doing it again in someone else’s home. Loving the Columbo endings 😂

I love your sense of humour women. You definitely should write!

Also are you he didn't pee his pants when you questioned him 😂

Have you ever read a novel?

She has.

Well done you. You can prove that he had a visitor for 8 hours and he deducted a days rate from the bill 👏👏👏

the least he could have done but a good outcome I think

Well played @IvyPlant👍 I always let anyone working in my house, including coming in to take care of pets that “we have cameras in all the downstairs rooms, just to be able to see the animals, not you” 😀 The implication is there though that we will see them too. It saves anyone even considering behaving inappropriately.

Oh I love it, it's got all the best stars
Keeley and Jason. I'll add gerard and Tom cruise and scarlett cos why not.

For those wondering about the internal camera set up... This was the camera in the kitchen. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Thank you, your verboseness, ethics and attention to detail have been a joy to read. Best of of luck with the rest of the renovation, its a trying time.

I know I’m missing the point somewhat but £425 day rate? Fuck!

Next time someone fails to update their story or to tell people the conclusion we shall point to these threads as the blueprint for “how it should be done” 😁

I've been patiently awaiting the ending of this story! I personally wouldn't have been able to keep it together like it sounds like you did, so I think you handled it very well and got the outcome you were hoping for.
I can tell you were an officer! 😆
I hope he learns from his mistake, if only for financial reasons at the very least ...

Where is the camera on that clock? Baffled.

Does anyone remember those 'Famous Five and You' books? I feel this saga could be made into one. Turn to page 5 if you want to install a camera in the kitchen......turn to page 22 if you want to confront the electrician.....turn to page 50 if you want to wash the blanket 😂

It's really discreet. There was a few times the guy looked directly at the camera and I got all 👀 but then I realised he was just looking at the clock for the time and I unclenched my butt cheeks.

Maybe the blanket and cushions were just for their picnic...

Well played OP indeed

Where is the clock /camera from? How does the feed work? Is it battery operated. Soooo many questions. This post better be here tomorrow! 🍷🍾I need to re-read!
