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'm so pleased I've been here since the beginning. This thread (s) is amazing!

I'm jealous of those enjoying this with their DP I've told mine he didn't find it very interesting just said "who's having an affair?" I usually read him threads from relationships

Someone asked about book marking on a mobile. For mine, swipe left on the post and it's just there.

DakotaFanny · 28/07/2017 18:12

CFN's builders knocked op Wattyyy's* door

She opens it and surveys them with a basilisk eye.

CFN's Bs Oh, hullo, your worshipfulness. Jus' wondered if we could pop into your lovely garding, if you didn't mind. Thankyou, please . . .

W For WHAT purpose?

CFN's Bs To - er, to er, look at the moon!

Jaxhog · 28/07/2017 18:13

This definitely the best thread I've read on MumsNet. I am so looking forward to what happens when CFN come home.

I also hope it all gets sorted quickly.

To bookmark on my iPhone there are three little dots in the bottom right of each post, click those and it opens more options one of which is bookmark.

Lweji and speedynamechange Grin

Thanks for stepping in Lweji to clarify that I was correct in my wording.

Best wishes from pedantic poster told.Wink

Perhaps BarryandJulia will post an AIBU themselves...

AIBU, I have just bought a flat in a beautiful listed building and have made several changes to fuck it up bring it up to date including knocking a door into a beautiful secret garden. Both the planners and my NDN seem to think this is wrong. AIBU to take whatever I want regardless of the laws that I'm breaking?

CFN (The Patio Doors Series) fanfic!

AvaJane · 28/07/2017 18:18

The audacity of some people!! Hope you get it sorted soon OP.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 28/07/2017 18:18

I hope that this thread goes on as long as The Archers.

Wattyyyy - you will visit them in prison, won't you, and update us on whether they get shanked are knocking through their cell walls etc?

notapizzaeater · 28/07/2017 18:18

The comment "they don't have a lawn, that's kind of the point of the thread" made me laugh so hard, I woke up my friend's baby. Grin
