What's some juicy gossip that you can't share irl but can share with nosy strangers on mumsnet?

To improve an otherwise boring friday night in front of the TV, with my slightly poorly DD x

👀👀

My next door neighbour - annoying and loud is pregnant, been trying for 12 + yrs with her hen pecked husband.

However, I know she has not been faithful for the past 12 months and in my small terraced house one does hear things. She stopped taking the pill years ago due to trying to conceive and had a very loud interesting conversation with other man ,that maybe she should restart just in case and 6 weeks later was up the duff!

My friend told me in confidence that exdh had shagged an old flame at his wedding party. I made sure that the new wife (who wouldn’t leave him alone and was a big cause of our divorce when I was pregnant) found out. But my friend thinks it was someone else that told the new wife.

A horrible workmate's husband is gay. As a couple they moved 400 miles away to the county of their origin but as soon as the house was bought, and workmate moved in, planning a happy retirement with her DH, he told workmate that he was going to continue in his role at his original job and just commute home to her at weekends.

Horrible work mate thinks he is doing it for the money but everyone at work knows he is gay and has a lover that he wasn't prepared to give up and succumb to a life with horrible work mate and a life of pipe and slippers.

If horrible work mate had not been so horrible over the years, one or all of us might have had a word with her but....she's horrible so we were all just glad to see the back of her. 400 miles isn't enough to be honest.

That’s fabulous, I bet he will be delighted. I have a soft spot for MCR. Takes me back to happy times when my DD was a teenager. She played them non stop, and the videos were constantly on Kerrang. I know most of their stuff off by heart.

It was the first concert her and her mates went too unaccompanied. I think they were 13. Her friend’s dad dropped them off, but unbeknown to them he had got a ticket and was stood at that back. Ended up fishing one of them out of the mosh pit when it got messy!

a very useful member of my team has handed their notice in, shit will go down when that is announced.

someone I know left his wife and shacked up with someone from work. His wife is now seeing the husband of the woman he has left her for!
Id love to be a fly on the wall when that comes out 🤣

This happened to a couple i know! The short story is that she bulldozed him into it, enjoyed herself a lot while he was miserable on the side lines/shagging people off the internet just to prove he could too - but then he met someone he really liked and left the original partner. At which point she told everyone who would listen that they split up because he was a cheat (of course leaving out the context!). She's still pushing that narrative now and weirdly i think she actually believes it.

My daughter and her husband have been selected to participate in a TV show. Filming is happening at the moment, but she’s not allowed to discuss it before the show is broadcast, so sadly I cannot disclose which show it is, or who the presenter is. DD says the presenter is one of the loveliest, kindest people she has ever met, and they’re both loving the experience.

Wow 😄 - youll get your answer in 9 months as to who the baby looks like 👀👀

Scout leader A is past his sell by date. His version of events is that none of the other leaders are willing to step into any kind of leadership role. He said that he would "retire" at the end of the summer term just gone, but would be on call for occasional meetings if they needed an extra pair of hands.

Scout leaders BCDE tell a different tale: that he just does everything himself and doesn't inform them of much at all if anything. Also that they're willing to get a bit more involved with the planning rather than being scout minions.

The final straw happened this week where leader A sent out a program to the parents, but BCDE had no input and didn't even know what activities had been planned. They arrived at Tuesdays meeting, no clue what to do and leader A didn't show up. So they are pissed off, and one of them is coming to the committee meeting next week and I genuinely don't know what's going to happen.

Good for him!

I know a couple who did exactly the same. Right down to her branding him a cheat.

I also know another couple where the man badgered her into swinging. He didn't get half as much fun as he expected whereas she was very popular. He wanted them to stop and was absolutely stunned when she said that she really enjoyed the lifestyle and had made her realise that their marriage wasn't what she wanted anymore and dumped him.

That’s excellent!

Dear Great Uncle…

When you scattered my Grandmother’s ‘ashes’, it was actually cat litter and fag ash.

The -yes, male - “HouseMaster” at the school my DD was bullied out of did sweet fuck all to help her. But that was probably because he was too busy. It’s hard to give a shit about the kids who are supposedly in your care when you have a wife, two kids under 10 at the same school and an under 25 year old mistress who works in the same department.

Who certainly all of the sixth form new about.

Its difficult to take any of the morality that the school were spouting seriously when you realise they must have all known.

.I thought his wife seemed churlish and he seemed distracted. No wonder. The useless cock.

We need to hear the back story here! 👀

Wow 😳

So glad that you got your baby ❤️ - what did your mum say when you told her? He sounds awful but good on you for sustaining your other relationships and living regardless

Feel sorry for his wife, but agree that she probably knows

Fingers crossed for her plotting her escape from him!

Do you think that your cousin knows about his dad? I find that, in my case, I dont care about my bio dad, but its the lies and everyone else knowing and the 'oo don't tell mumofone' aspect, which was more about being unkind than protecting me

Omg, tell me he was evil and you set her free from him to rest peacefully! x

Its gonna be a showdown 😄👀👀

I'm predicting a dramatic storm off

Out of the blue, a close relative appeared on Ancestry. Turns out he was my grandfather's love child from 1935

A friend of mine who's in the public eye had an affair. Her husband doesn't know and she doesn't know I know.

Do you realise everyone can still read what you wrote before you edited this? Not sure if you want to report your comment to MNHQ so they can delete it.

Ooo congratulations aunty 🥳🥳🥳🥳

that’s so lovely

Next year my lovely sister is retiring early and emigrating from our native country, and will live closer to me!!! So exciting. We won't be in the same country, but will be able to see each other more.

I'm not allowed to spread it around because she has observed that once your friends discover you'll be moving away, many of them start drawing back from you because they feel it isn't worth investing in the friendship. They prioritise relationships with people who (as far as they know) will stick around longer. I can understand that, because I treat people that way myself! Human nature I think.

I’m pregnant. I have told some people IRL, but none of mine or DH family know yet… told them all years ago we’d never be having kids to stop the questions. Pregnancy v much planned. 🤭

Oo I feel like its Michael McIntyre's big show 😄

That sounds lovely x
