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!

Finally caught up I may have bought more data and sat in my car after work even though it renews tomorrow. Committed follower of CFN threads that I am. Great updating OP, glad you have a friend coming round. Where on earth are they though?

YAYV!!!! FYC how the very devil are you? Hi to all FYCers on this thread, new names and old xxxx

Lweji · 28/07/2017 17:05

I feel sorry for newdaddie now.
If there's a newdaddie god, we'll find out that most of us broke MN rules.

Brittbugs80 · 28/07/2017 17:05

Can some do a brief update? The last I read the neighbours had put patio doors into OP's garden.

Thank you!

Ahickifromkinicki · 28/07/2017 17:06

Someone must have read the council's notice. i imagine they must be making frantic calls to a solicitor.

AlpacaLypse · 28/07/2017 17:06

@FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse so pleased to hear all's well.

@Wattyyyy sorry to borrow your thread to get updates on a different one!

chickenowner · 28/07/2017 17:06

If there's a newdaddie god then big, tall men will be able to do WHATEVER THEY LIKE!!

Luckily there isn't.

TheRollingCrone · 28/07/2017 17:06

Oh fuck, I'm supposed to be going to watch cricket at 6.30 - I'm not going to be able to go am I? Realistically?

Wattyyy Gin for you and pal

FuzzyOwl · 28/07/2017 17:07

Have the planning people said they will get back to you with an update?

chickenowner · 28/07/2017 17:07

And Wattyyy I would like to add my voice to all the others saying that you have handled this horrible situation with utter class and poise.

Smile
BorisTrumpsHair · 28/07/2017 17:07

OMG read all three threads and now I have sweaty palms & feel tense!!
hang in there Wattyyy - you are doing great

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 28/07/2017 17:08

Jux, I am very well Smile not really here, oh no

gingergenius · 28/07/2017 17:10

Better still, plant the words "I have a garden and you don't" in a flower bed in YOUR garden OP. Right in front of their soon to be replaced listed building windows!

DevilsDumplings · 28/07/2017 17:10

Newdaddie will you please stop being a bellend Grin

lljkk · 28/07/2017 17:10

I don't like the bullying of newdaddie, either. It's just expressing a minority view. Let it Go. (would insert Frozen Gif but don't know how)

I am so :( that it will take months to learn full resolution to OP's situation. I do hope that she doesn't have any painful confrontations, I'd want to avoid the CFNs directly, too. Although would be jolly nice to know WHAT they were thinking. So make the most of the opportunity if it gets forced upon you. Maybe another neighbour can act as spy & sidle up to them to ask all about their building works...

SoupDragon · 28/07/2017 17:10

Some of the responses on here to the poster newdaddie are verging on bullying - ganging up and having a go.

Nonsense. If you don't want to be robustly called out for posting something twatty, don't post something twatty.

chickenowner · 28/07/2017 17:10

gingergenius That is hilarious!

Lynnm63 · 28/07/2017 17:12

Waves 👋👋 to fuckyouchris I read those threads once they were in classics.
I don't get the PARKLIFE thing am I terminally stupid or just old?

It's not bullying, don't be so silly. He's getting it in the neck because he's being a bit of a prick.

wowfudge · 28/07/2017 17:12

Thing is, a lot of it isn't quick witted; it's just plain nasty.

Lweji · 28/07/2017 17:14

You could plant something like this right in front of their new doors.

Vango · 28/07/2017 17:14

To be fair SoupDragon I have attempted to understand what newdaddie's on about, and he has replied with his explanation of his views. So far neither of us has felt the need to insult the other.

TheLittleShirt · 28/07/2017 17:14

I must apologise to Toldmywrath and lweji.
I did not see the 'the ' in The Pendant, but we digress!!!!

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 28/07/2017 17:16

I'm a bit concerned - if their horrible doors are against planning regs, surely your zoo will be? 🐔🦉🦅🦆

NutButterNutter · 28/07/2017 17:17

Ok, caught up!

OP you are a Star and I hope nut all gets fixed soon.

Spookle I'm sorry about your cat, and that we don't share childhood associates who made it up as an alternative to 'cool'. Dammit. Still, maybe with the power of MN it'll catch on!?
