Secrets we want to tell but can't

There was a thread on here a few months ago which was full of confessions and secrets that we can't tell in real life...My secret is that I know the neighbour on one side of me is having a naughty affair with the neighbour on the other side of me. As soon and the husband goes to work and the kids go to school she's off with the single dad on the other side of me...

Has anyone else got a secret??

My secret is I am smoking again daily but my partner doesn't know. He thinks it's just when I drink.

Also I still have bad thoughts after my breakdown but I don't tell anyone in real life because I don't want to worry them and I manage to deal with them.

newsreader ? give us a clue ....

CarbeDiem · 13/08/2014 21:37

I'd like a clue too Laska. I'm trying to think who it could be. I think it will be a pretty old guy.

Laska42 · 13/08/2014 22:10

Laska42 · 13/08/2014 22:22

well think ive worked it out .. could be wrong..

CuckooInTheNest · 13/08/2014 23:02

I haven't set eyes on my ex, who treated me appallingly and broke my heart, for years but I still think about him every single day and secretly believe he is the love of my life.

Last week he got in touch and asked if we could meet up.

I know it's a bad idea and I know it would break my BF's heart but I am seriously considering meeting him. I can't tell anyone in RL as they all hate him for what he did to me

CarbeDiem · 14/08/2014 12:30

Laska pm me please - the grey matter's not working well today :)

upduffedsecret · 14/08/2014 13:07

It was quick, but we've known each other forever so not too quick. DP's parents were shocked though his sister said " about time"!

The BBC are reporting the Cliff Richards' house has been searched this morning following accusations of historic sex abuse

Smilesandpiles · 14/08/2014 13:20

Bloody hell, well, that was only a matter of time I suppose.

I'm waiting for bigger names to be dragged out into the open.

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 14/08/2014 13:29

More well known than Cliff Richard, Smilesandpiles? I can really only think of 2 "higher" tiers - politicians and royalty...

Smilesandpiles · 14/08/2014 13:32

Give it time.

Laska42 · 14/08/2014 14:06

CR = Kitty .. You heard it here first ..

TalisaMaegyr · 14/08/2014 14:48

Cliff Richard's house is currently being searched by police....

FrankSpencer · 14/08/2014 15:08

Good!!

OiMissus · 14/08/2014 15:19

The power of a mumsnet thread!

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 14/08/2014 15:21

aujordoui your secret made me blink. If you are on poor terms with your child I hope you're not being bullied?

Itsfab · 14/08/2014 15:51

Cookie - don't do it. You will love it while it is happening then come away guilt ridden and it won't have been worth it, especially if he is still fit and gorgeous and you feel as you did when you were loved up with him.

TalisaMaegyr · 14/08/2014 15:57

From the BBC News report

"For many months I have been aware of allegations against me of historic impropriety which have been circulating online.

"The allegations are completely false. Up until now I have chosen not to dignify the false allegations with a response, as it would just give them more oxygen.

"However, the police attended my apartment in Berkshire today without notice, except it would appear to the press.

"I am not presently in the UK but it goes without saying that I will cooperate fully should the police wish to speak to me. Beyond stating that today's allegation is completely false it would not be appropriate to say anything further until the police investigation has concluded."

He's in Portugal, apparently. Now, if you were innocent, and the police were rummaging through your stuff, and you were innocent - you would come straight back to the UK, wouldn't you? I know I would.

GarlicAugustus · 14/08/2014 16:02

Perhaps he can't get a visa Wink He gave up his citizenship, remember!
Hmm x 100

TalisaMaegyr · 14/08/2014 16:03

That is a very big pile waiting to come tumbling down, I suspect...

Smilesandpiles · 14/08/2014 16:04

it would not be appropriate to say anything further until the police investigation has concluded.

ie: I'm keeping my mouth shut unless they find anything.

TalisaMaegyr · 14/08/2014 16:08

Do you think they will? Surely he's not stupid enough to have anything incriminating in his house??

Fermentedgrapes · 14/08/2014 18:09

  1. I felt miserable driving home today. I was imagining holding a gun and blowing my brains out.

  2. I lied about my grades on my CV and have done quiet well out of it.

    • The other night i was drunk and looked in my new(ish) bf's bedside drawer. There was a packet of condoms so i have counted how many were left in the pack and i will check again the next time i am there. Whilst doing that i noticed a picture of his ex wife in a sexy lingerie outfit and so i stole it and put it in the bin.

URGH

CarbeDiem · 14/08/2014 19:01

Fermented - Hope you're ok.
I've exaggerated my results before but now don't need to as I retook the qualifications as an adult.
Do you have reason not to trust bf? What will you do if he asks you about the photo? :)
