Is there a follow on thread for how Keyra is getting on with the builders???

OP posts:

Oh poor cb - you've all jumped ship!

Would it sway opinion if I told you I came home just now and he offered to make me tea even though he wasn't having one himself?

Probably shouldn't tell you all that cg took himself round to formerly lovely neighbours earlier to tell them that the planning officer is coming round tomorrow. They're still angry so he spent some time trying to pacify them. I did think that was very kind of him and above and beyond the call of his duty as cg.

Depending on planning officer's opinion tomorrow the extension may have to be rebuilt Shock. All down to architect making a mistake. Fingers crossed it won't come to that. Any casting suggestions for ra (rubbish architect) as the archetypal baddie will be carefully considered.

And also making an appearance tomorrow should be tp. Could be a day of high action!

I'm so glad you've kept us updated @Keyra!

Despite CG's best efforts I think I'm still team CB.

I hope for your sake that the extension doesn't have to be rebuilt, even though that would mean more time spent with the seemingly lovely building team.

TitzillatheHun · 27/11/2018 17:06

What @TitsNnails said! Go ooonnnnn....

picklemepopcorn · 27/11/2018 18:17

Oh goodness!

Could you sound them out about a ménage a trois? I think it's the only answer...

Tisahardlife · 27/11/2018 19:13

Extension might need rebuilding? Shock

I guess extra time with CB and CG would be welcome, but Shock

Aww, I knew the flowers would have been from CG, and now he's cleaned up after inconsiderate shitter I'm even MORE team CG Grin

BlueBrush · 27/11/2018 19:50

Oh my goodness! While I'm trying very hard to respect the fact that you are all real people, with real feelings, and not just some soap opera dreamt up for our amusement....this is just getting better and better!

CG sounds truly awesome. However, I am still in Team CB, if that makes you feel better Keyra because the heart wants what the heart wants, and there's not much to be done about it!

Pennina · 27/11/2018 20:35

Totally agree bluebrush. I'm so addicted to this and, you're right, it's not a soap opera! However, I love Keyra's posts so posts.

Pennina · 27/11/2018 20:41

-- so much!

Largepiecesofcrookedwood · 27/11/2018 22:51

I'm do glad you've returned keyra
And though it pains me to say it, it's Team CG here as well

Keyra · 28/11/2018 08:59

Early morning summary;

Tp is here. The dog doesn't like him. He's using a tower not stilts. The stilts are here though.

Cb and I had a bit of a tussle over the tea making:

Me: Do you want tea?
Cb: Yes, I'll make it.
Me: No it's fine, I'll do it.

Cb won.
Teeth are out.

Will report back after the Planning Officer has been.

Have good days everyone :)

Alienspaceship · 28/11/2018 09:35

I’m sport, I simply don’t believe that TP is there Grin

Alienspaceship · 28/11/2018 09:35

Sorry not sport

Keyra · 28/11/2018 09:36

I'll try and sneak you a pic :)

Keyra · 28/11/2018 12:14

Here's tp in action up on his platform. It's not a great pic - I've been hanging around all morning for covert photo shoot opportunities and getting strange looks into the bargain. I think cb may have seen me take it too - if so, hope he doesn't think it's because I fancy tp :(.

Is there a new CG/CB/TP thread yet???
Juaneeze · 28/11/2018 12:29

Oh my Goodness, he does exist! TP in action Grin

You are my hero Keyra

Bunnyhop1502 · 28/11/2018 12:33

@Keyra my children are crying for their lunch but mummy is busy crying with laughter over your covert photography.

Ariela · 28/11/2018 12:54

Can I just say you ought to write a book Keyra, you know how to get your audience hanging on every post, you write with great humour too.

wannabebetter · 28/11/2018 13:28

.... just for scale, I assume TP is using one of these.....

Keyra · 28/11/2018 13:30

Oh no Bunny I don't want to be responsible for starving children Shock

Juan how are you and how is your crush progressing?

Ariela that's so nice of you to say that! If I find myself bankrupted after all this building work (highly likely) I may have to give it a try!

Keyra · 28/11/2018 13:33

He's on a platform/scaffold thing at the minute wannabe. Or he was. I'm a bit hesitant to go in there at the minute - he's not terrifically friendly (prob suspicious of my loitering this morning). But I have asked cg to let me know when the stilts are strapped on.

Juaneeze · 28/11/2018 13:48

Keyra, it hasn't progressed as they've not been back for a couple of weeks. Something about a glass delivery and it isn't really the best weather for outside work at the moment.

I've managed to get more work done without them across the road so I guess it isn't all bad.

I really hope TP straps those stilts on, mumsnet will go into meltdown if you get another photo!

BurningTheToast · 28/11/2018 14:05

At the risk of sounding as though I'm obsessed with TP's stilts (and his possible weekend off-the-books stiltwalking activities), I expect he'll only use those if he does a horizontal bit of ceiling - the pitch he's doing at the moment might be tricky to do on stilts. So disappointed...

MixedMaritalArts · 28/11/2018 14:13

There is an app called sneaky pix btw

Keyra · 28/11/2018 14:14

I'll let you know Burning as soon as there's any stilt activity.

Cg is currently hoovering my stairs Shock

Keyra · 28/11/2018 14:15

Really Marital? I'll go and investigate.
