CFN vanished, Spanish grandma, patio doors, I don't know what the hell to call this thread #5

[WhatIsThisWatt]

Hello everyone, new thread as requested. hopefully MNHQ could be so kind (as they already have been) to verify that I'm the OP from the original four threads?

Sorry again about the title NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON ANYMORE but I will try to keep you all updated. I'll probably not be back till the morning but THANKS for all the support and nice messages

If the builder's had the wrong address though how did they get in?

Sabine 🙀

MadamePomfrey excellent summary! I will be reading that to my son at bedtime! I have to say ladies and gents you are all a fab bunch of people! You make me chuckle! On a serious note though I really hope this gets sorted for you soon OP.

Greypaw that was a good giggle start to the day not that I've been awake for a couple of hours reading MN Oh no not I

Cedilla excellent plan

TesticalMeElmo and BlueDiamond mine's a tea and a bacon butty please

Sabine But . . . I have to say this. What if the builder got the wrong address?

Maybe, but if so, how did they get into said neighbours place ?

Goodness knows. They'd have to knock a hole in the wall. Or something.

Ah. Aha. Ahaha.

I checked this thread during the night feed.....

Glad you're okay OP!

shamelessly placemarking as missed threads 3&4 due to small children

Cautiously place marking.

I am a cheeky fucker, but not that fucking cheeky.

Long time lurker. Started reading last night only just finished!! Dh was heavily invested to the point he was awake before me this morning desperate for updates lol.
Dh works in construction and says they've got to be cowboy builders coz noone in their right mind would touch a listed building without triple checking paperwork is all above bored.
I can't believe some people are actually that stupid they thought they could get away with it!
gets cuppa & goes back to lurking

Fuzzy, thank you for reminding me that's actually Saturday and not Sunday (I've been a day ahead since yesterday despite it being a DC birthday so how the hell I've managed that I've no idea). on the plus side I've gained a day so don't feel so bad for spending so much time on this thread ** result!

In the style of Shakespeare/Love Actually/Greek Drama etc., we definitely need subplots -*
Rude Mechnicals (Glaswegian builders in the pub/New DH/DPs signed up for this thread) -
Witches (OP's friends/ select MN Vipers), Greek Chorus (MN members) ,
Purveyors of news/interest, Fairies, spirits, ghosts (Shopkeeper, box room friend, NNDN, planning boy, Dcats, and TEKL), Hades/Brutus/Lock Stock baddies = CCFFNs, NewDaddie (and his Mammie), and builders

This is inspired Iborgia. INSPIRED!

Could we also set it to music?

If we asked Wagner to team up with Gilbert and Sullivan to write the score, we could also have lots of doom-laden dwarves, Valkyries and some comic pirates in the script (not that any extra excitement is needed, but it seems a shame to leave them out).

Then we could choreograph it and present the entire saga on ice with a Cast of Thousands!

I'll get out my Ouija board and see what the Spirits can do re: starting the script and score now.

Morning all. Anyone for a ?

Another 12 pages to read not to mention lots of others that have been linked! Now to convince DH to have a day out with dd somewhere... (wishful thinking!)

Well let's hope that the CFN return today.

MrsM, not a problem, in fact I think I'll have one myself!

This thread has completely got me out of my grump after being woken up at 7:08 by the work CCTV people to tell me they've lost one of the cameras (well what do you expect me to do about it at this time on a Saturday).

I wonder when your granny is going to phone from the airport demanding a lift? In an hour maybe?

Morning vipers, I have to drive for about 10billion hours today so I'll need a summary at about 8pm, if someone can keep notes throughout the day that would be awesome

First thing I did on waking was check this thread!

I've got an image of the op sitting on a chair in her garden with her nose pressed against the offending doors. That'd give Chinese Julie a shock when she eventually gets back!

Maybe the OP will smell the bacon cooking and it'll wake her up hopeful

I am a writer and I would hereby like to offer my services as screenwriter for the film adaptation.

wonders what to wear to the Oscars...

I just slipped and twisted my ankle. I don't even care. I was planning on spending the whole day on the sofa reading this thread anyway!

Aaaaah! Just the ticket. Thanks KitKat
