To not want to drive someone else’s car all week?

BlueberryMummy · 08/06/2026 20:30

A friend borrowed my car on Friday because she needed to go and pick up something that wouldn’t fit in her car (it would fit in her car, the only reason it wouldn’t is because her car is full of stuff) and then I had to go out before she got back and her car keys were at mine so she told me to take her keys and her car and then since then our paths haven’t crossed to swap the cars back and I’ve messaged her and called her a few times to ask if we can swap the cars back and she just keeps saying she is busy at that moment but will find time soon to swap the cars back. She’s now asking if she can keep my car until Friday as she needs to go somewhere on Friday and what she is taking won’t fit in her car again because her car is full of stuff and in return I keep her car until Friday. But I just want my car back now. My car is a 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan and her car is a 2024 Range Rover. My husband says I’m overreacting and making a mountain out of a molehill. I feel she is being funny about just giving me my car back, she could have found time already to give me my car back and she certainly could find time before Friday to give me my car back. We both have fully comp insurance on our own cars and are insured to drive other cars but we are only covered for 3rd party damage on other cars. AIBU to not want to drive someone else’s car all week and AIBU to just want my car back now?

Excellent that got me through lunch break :)

Oh yes the Dyson wrap. I’m still in awe that people spend £500 on a hair dryer thingy

I can't believe this thread is still going have you not got your car back yet op. What on earth have you been doing

Hopefully she has been in a metamorphosis state and has emerged with a backbone.
@BlueberryMummy I do hope you have got this sorted, I really rate your ability to keep cool.

Horsemadlady1234 · 15/06/2026 15:32

Sounds like she’s damaged it!

Did you get your car back @BlueberryMummy? This is one of the most bizarre situations we’ve seen, and definitely beats the Dyson Airwrap!

Ah the Dyson Airwrap thread. Best one ever!!

CaesarAugusta · 17/06/2026 13:02

Please put us out of our misery, OP, and confirm that you have the car back?

itsmeits · 18/06/2026 07:57

@BlueberryMummy
How have you got on?
Starting to think your friend has ran you over so she can keep both cars permanently!

Girlwithavibe · 18/06/2026 08:19

I'm wondering if she actually had an accident in the RR not noticeable but worried enough to not want to be the owner of it ?
I hope @BlueberryMummy comes back to the thread

FavouritePrettyEmbroideredBlouse · 18/06/2026 14:50

I’m not sure why so many people are trying to still get an update from OP. It’s clearly flogging a dead donkey unicorn

SylvanMoon · 18/06/2026 15:10

I think @BlueberryMummy is unable to tell us the ending to her "wild tale" because when she finally went round to the RR owner's house to demand her own junkyard worthy vehicle back on the evening of the 12th, her "friend" ambushed her, knocking her unconscious with some chemical, then kidnapping all her children and leaving the country on a ferry with them in the RR, leaving the OP gagged and locked in the boot of the Volkswagon, which was then locked inside the friend's garage. No one has reported either her or the children missing as her DH is still conveniently "working away".

But little did the OP realise that her DH and her friend were actually acting in cohoots, with the car swap as an elaborate ploy to get the OP to relinquish the children to her DH and his lover (her so-called "friend"). This is a matrimonial dispute that the OP failed to mention in her original thread (although tbf she only knew her DH had asked for a divorce; she was in the dark about the OW's involvement).

It's unclear at this point if @BlueberryMummy has been rescued yet, although things aren't looking too good on that front.

P.S. Don't ask me how I know all these details as I'm sworn to secrecy.

🤣🤣

ClarasSisters · 18/06/2026 18:35

Almost as tall a tale as the original @SylvanMoon Grin

outerspacepotato · 18/06/2026 19:07

The Tiguan has been parted out. 👋

But OP has been distracted by the handsome repo man who tracked the Range Rover and showed up to take it. She threw caution to the wind and dumped her absent husband who gave bad advice and Blueberry and Repo Man are now holidaying in Rome.

Hackedoffinoldage · 26/06/2026 17:30

Come on then @BlueberryMummy! I’ve not slept in over a week and need to know the outcome of this!

LucyMD · 27/06/2026 12:27

Same! I'm invested in the story!

Thursday5pmisginoclock · 28/06/2026 07:36

And the conclusion to this story was @BlueberryMummy ?

if this was real, I suspect it became a damp squib - I’m amazed people are still chasing an answer. The OP ain’t coming back.

DustyEmerald · 29/06/2026 19:39

Please tell us what happened @BlueberryMummy
i live my life through mumsnet (desperately dull otherwise) and would really like to know that you’ve come out the other side beating the CF!

Be careful you don't get banned for troll hunting.

Apparently MN saw nothing wrong with the thread. Many people reported it but apparently it's not a troll.
Same as the Dyson air wrap.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/06/2026 19:21

if post are made up what is the point?

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/06/2026 19:22

There are so many threats that have one OP and then nothing else again. What is the point?

But yes, do come back and tell us what happens with the The car
