Party bag gate part 2 - enter DH stage left

Original thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5252894-child-didnt-get-a-party-bag?page=40&reply=141398805

To all the baked potato loving legends out there who followed my original thread, I couldn’t resist sharing what I think is a rather funny update.

So I’ve been away for a work conference today and didn’t check my phone til 2pm. Amanda had called me again! And messaged to say “Jandami can you call me please when you get the chance so I can find out what to ask this magician?”

I assume she means she wants to find out if I’ll pay for a party bag. So I messaged DH (who is fully invested in the drama) laughing about it. I didn’t reply to her as had to go back in the conference (and still haven’t replied only just got home).

Anyway at pick up, DH was standing in the playground waiting for DS and Amanda sidled up to him and said “Excuse me Neil? Is your wife’s phone broken?” (emphasis on the ‘is’ apparently). He just looked at her, said “No” and walked off to wait at the other side of the playground 😂 the best bit is - his name is not Neil!

I can only assume she’s either micro dosing with hallucinogenics or is genuinely mad. Nobody normal behaves this way.

PS jacket potato with pancetta, cheese, soured cream and chives tonight 🤤

Op I’ve been reading your two threads and due to your username and straight talking I’ve been imagining this whole saga as a face off between Amanda and Nessa! Now that would be an excellent TV show 🤔

Brilliant.

Wonder if it’s too late to change DS’s name to “Neil The Baby”

Wow she's not letting this go is she!

OP we must insist you call here and use a transcribing app.

Karen is a worldwide term used to misogynisticly shut down and belittle women.

Amanda is just for this thread. Like when people say “I have a friend let’s call her Susie” because they don’t want to share their real name.

@JandamiHash you could just send her the link to the magician and say ‘just give him the name send him £12; sorry been at a work conference all day’

Just wow ! This is so embarrassing for her 😂

@JandamiHash I can’t believe how many people were giving you grief in your previous thread. Absolutely batshit! I love your attitude and think plenty on here can learn from that

@TypingoftheDead

Thank you for explaining. ☺️

@incandescentglow really not bothered. As I said it was a genuine question to understand why one is acceptable and one wasn't.

I sent her his contact card yesterday. I’m not gonna reply to her at all on principle, and if she messages again I’ll be blocking her.

did she grow up in Britain this women? Because I’m shocked.

What a dick she is …

Maybe she does just want to know what to ask the magician to put in the party bag, if the child is going to get one he may aswell get one soon as in a few days none of the kids will be talking about it any longer

At this stage, I would just text her/ send her a link of what was included in the bag

Speaking of jacket potatoes the conference was in a very expensive city today, does anyone want to guess how much the piddly takeaway cafe me and a colleague went to at after was charging for a plain jacket potato with butter, no salad, to take away in a polystyrene box?

This woman is bonkers!!

£9.99, is my guess.

£15?

7 quid

Lolling at Neil, the Husband.

If she chases you I'd send her a one liner pointing out that it's not a difficult ask: order and pay for one personalised party bag for James.

£9

NINE ENGLISH POUNDS

And my colleague actually bought it!

£11.98

Whenever I see long lockers I think of Julia!

(I've followed you over from the other thread)

Was horrified to discover a £10 basic jacket potato in September, it wasn’t in an expensive city, nor the South, so I can’t even imagine

Just butter, no cheese? Daylight robbery. And I bet the cutlery was that awful wood stuff that makes my teeth itch.

Could nearly buy a party bag for that.

We call them “Long lockers, lockers that are long” 🤣
