Spanish grandma en route and friend still in the shop thread #4

I can't believe this is the fourth thread.

To summarise: CFN have seemingly done a disappearing act, my friend is now OUTSIDE the shop but still talking to the shop owner man.

I'm waiting on the wine I can see in her hand.

Hello all.

Are we all a tiny bit pissed?

Not yet, I'm afraid, I've yet to get started. Grin But soon......

ChasedByBees · 28/07/2017 20:20

It could be ages till the neighbour it's come back. We'll be on thread #194 by then. And then another age until the planning department get in touch with them. Gosh. I think we all need to pace ourselves. < has a sensible glass of water >

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 28/07/2017 20:21

Heavens! I've never known a thread move so fast without any actual interaction from the CFNs Shock.

I guess that's my weekend plans sorted.

WOW Wattyyyy This is the thread that just keeps giving. More mileage than a Duracell Bunny Grin

LakieLady · 28/07/2017 20:21

OP, you're going to have to ring your friend and tell her to get back from the goddamned shop so she can tell you what Timothy Spall had to say about the CFNs.

He clearly has a LOT to say, because she's been gone for ages.

MonsterQueen · 28/07/2017 20:22

Awesome threads! I have missed 2 complete ones!

MadamePomfrey · 28/07/2017 20:23

Op has a Spanish grandma who she was explaining the situation to earlier and now may or may not be on way to sort CFN out!!! There is a shop across the road where supportive friend who came over to be with op just in case has gone to get wine/gossip about Barry and Julia. Barry and Julia are still AWOL all though some super sluthes think the may have been spotted in Spain refusing photos 🕵🏻‍♀️ Have we found CFN??? and the op has cats I think that's the basics!

Coffeeandcakeplease16 · 28/07/2017 20:23

They're away for the entire weekend I just know it. I can't bear it OP I don't know how I'll pass the time! Hats off to you your attitude to this has been amazing.

YetAnotherUser · 28/07/2017 20:23

These threads fill up too fast 😂

DontTouchTheMoustache · 28/07/2017 20:23

Bloody hell 4th thread. Back on the cider so I shall be googling kinky gnomes any time now

Vango · 28/07/2017 20:23

The cfns are away for the weekend at least I'd say. In the meantime, Penelope Keith and Annette Badlands, both representing English Heritage, will knock on the OP's door tomorrow morning.

Hullabaloo40 · 28/07/2017 20:24

Found it! Keeping me entertained whilst I am sat next to MIL.
I am so invested in this .
Where are the CFN!

coconutpie · 28/07/2017 20:24

These are the greatest threads EVER.

I cannot believe CFN did that to a grade 2 listed building!! Shock

LazyDailyMailJournos · 28/07/2017 20:24

Yay - fourth thread!

CaveMum · 28/07/2017 20:24

Hurrah for a 4th thread!

And I'm very pleased that my suggestion of Miriam Margolyes to play Spanish Granny has gone down well Grin

Summary from the start:

CFNs hired builder to knock out a window and convert it into patio doors to give them garden access. Unfortunately the garden isn't communal, it belongs entirely to the OP who does not wish to share it with CFNs. Oh, and the building is Grade 2 Listed.

OP told planning who came round hot foot with clip boards and put official notices through the letter box. CFNs and builder are in deep deep shit.

CFNs appear to have been away from the property throughout the whole affair, and builder has fled. OP has got her friend round for moral support tonight in case CFNs get nasty when they discover what has happened. Friend has been chatting to local corner shop man in case he knows anything. Meanwhile OP told her Spanish grandma what had happened, and Grandma may be on her way over to give CFNs a piece of her mind.
