CFN patio doors onto my private garden thread #3

Okay I thought I'd start this for when they inevitably show their faces!!

Sorry all the threads have different titles Confused

I have a slight update - I managed to catch the nice neighbour at the other side (I think he'd heard the commotion and was loitering about waiting for me Grin )

He was gobsmacked! Apparently he's lived here for thirty years and has never heard anything like it. I told him I'd keep him updated and he asked if i wanted to come in for a cup of tea, I politely declined hahahah. Glad I now have a nice normal neighbour on my side!

I'd be on a deck chair in MY garden facing the new ugly doors with my big bucket of popcorn and a bottle of wine Grin

TripleB32 · 28/07/2017 14:58

EvelynWardrobe - me too! I have caught up on this whole thing this afternoon, and now almost not wanting to leave my desk in case I miss anything!

festivefucker · 28/07/2017 14:58

Please op let us know your ok and safe ( all joking aside)

SchadenfreudePersonified · 28/07/2017 14:58

There's a massive black bird pissing about my garden

That will be their Familiar Wattyyyy. Keep away from it at all costs.

wotabastard · 28/07/2017 14:58

Wasn't her friend coming over today? Hope things are ok!

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 28/07/2017 14:59

The man on the other side would hopefully hear if anything happened

EvelynWardrobe · 28/07/2017 14:59

How big is your garden, OP? Are there rules about people planting shribs etc in front of people's windows? I'd worry about that if I owned one of the non-garden flats.

EvelynWardrobe · 28/07/2017 15:00

Shribs? Sorry, I appear to have found myself in an episode of 'Allo 'Allo there. Grin

festivefucker · 28/07/2017 15:00

Maybe friend is there and they are having 🍷
This is why no posts 🤞

WhatwouldOliviaPopedo · 28/07/2017 15:00

Meant to be packing to go on holiday first thing tomorrow but this is far more exciting! The suspense is killing me. Hope you're okay OP.

MaximaDeWit · 28/07/2017 15:00

shribs

🤣

festivefucker · 28/07/2017 15:01

John has a long moustache!!

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 28/07/2017 15:01

Black bird is even worse, Shadenfreude, it was the Boy himself, wasn't it?

WineAndTiramisu · 28/07/2017 15:01

I'm supposed to be going to sleep prior to a night shift, but this is keeping me awake!

WotsitWig · 28/07/2017 15:01

Hope you're ok, OP. I'd consider getting a friend round to sit in with you in case the CFNs kick off. They have no right to, of course, but they might.

MiniCooperLover · 28/07/2017 15:02

Good luck OP, it's very easy for us to say get around there but it depends on how you feel about it. I would go out though if they went into the garden, there would never be a better time to sort it out.

NoMoreDecorating · 28/07/2017 15:05

Placemarking yet again! Hope you get some answers!

Wattyyyy · 28/07/2017 15:05

Sorry everyone it's not the most exciting update!

They'd put on some kind of extractor fan which I heard go off. I went out the back to have a look eventually and couldn't see anything. So went out the front and there are loads of dirty looking bags/ sheet coverings just dumped at CFN front door???

It's now deadly silent.

I called planning lady, couldn't get through to her directly as she was in a meeting, but spoke with some one else. Because I can't be sure they are there any more or who it even was in the first place I don't think they are going to come out again. They said if it was CFN they will have seen the notice. And they (planning) will be getting in touch with builders separately thanks to the details I gave them.

AGHHHH WHATS GOING ON Wine Wine

Donttouchthethings · 28/07/2017 15:06

Wow! You're a ledge, OP.
Remember to call the planning people and tell them they're back.

OrgyofSausages · 28/07/2017 15:06

OP are you OK?

Literally all of MN is holding its breath awaiting your update. Hope those cuntish neighbours aren't being cunts -which of course they are--

laura1206 · 28/07/2017 15:07

Crack open some wine. You deserve it

Wattyyyy · 28/07/2017 15:07

And yes friend is now coming round in the evening to stay over, which is better Wine Cake

mumof06darlings · 28/07/2017 15:07

Mind yourself - if you are alone and want to speak to them, can you have someone like the nice neighbour within earshot or near enough to you

Thunderthighs11 · 28/07/2017 15:07

I hope you've managed to get a friend to come around for moral support.

Donttouchthethings · 28/07/2017 15:07

Sorry, X post. Well done. You're doing brill!
