An in-between phase

Haha cheers chums. @KajiKita we much prefer messages to her coming round but I didn't see her msg until the next day as I've previously muted notifications from her. She is now blocked due to...
'Sil' came round hammering on the door being aggressive and unhinged, accused me of having contributed nothing to the build, and of not being in contact with Mr PIP's family and said Mr PIP is running out of excuses for me! Mr PIP also thinks her behaviour was utterly bizarre and doesn't mind when I don't join in with family things due to having a literal medical chronic pain condition.
We're also all baffled as to why she thinks it's any of her business how other adults spend their free time. When I said we're in contact regularly (Mr PIP's mum and I regularly msg back and forth) she called me a liar 😂 I really think she might actually be a narcissist, she cannot imagine that anything could occur that she's not privy to
Other things dun:
Half wussy situps
Steps getting essentials
Bit of cleaning
Entered some competitions
SurveyAs ever, I am declining any bad vibes on a Sunday! 🍻

SIL sounds like a real treat.

And if you put a large gin my way, I could stand on a chair & recite 'The Pobble who has no toes', possibly (depending on size of gin & robustness of chair) followed by a rendition of 'The Wom-pom Song'.
I have experience of SiL issues.

2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!6 -
Thanks gang. I checked with my mum and two besties in case I was being unreasonable or unhinged, and while I appreciate its a biased audience who have only heard my side of events, they're also people who would tell me to calm down and consider other aspects if needed. No other aspects were put forward and no calming down was instructed.
I'm sad and a bit scared about her behaviour but I'm weirdly not that stressed. I think there were so many times throughout build that I thought 'I really think she's an actual delusional narcissist' but tried to be generous and put it down to build stress and we're all obviously not going to be our best selves under so much stress (I know I'm not either!) that it's kind of a relief for her to have been fully unhinged and say all these things that are verifiably untrue so I can just stop pretending that she's not awful

Wow! Get you staying up after 8pm. And with friends! Owning PiP towers has clearly gone to your head. 😂
Has SiL always treated neighbours with such rudeness? Me thinks she needs a detached property far from the madding crowds! There’s a few cheap houses on St Kilda. Only 40 odd miles west of outer Hebrides so she wouldn’t hear your massive parties lasting long into the night. The lashing Atlantic would drown them out.
I’m thinking there may be a tad of the green eyed monster involved. I’d rather be chinwag-guzzling in your garden than indoors with a tired child. Just positing.Appearing at your door and calling you a liar is a step up. Good blocking tactic. 👍

I have a hunting horn. I’ll bring it and teach anyone who wants to have a go to sound ‘gone away’. It’s quite a loud sound and not tuneful.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!5
