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 Grin

Does anyone else do this Confused in their head in rl when they are talking to people or is it just me? I also have to stop myself referring to the kids as DC in rl (too much time on mumsnet?) Grin

RippleEffects · 29/07/2017 09:19

We could crowd fund a mumsnet movie. A made for internet British film classic.

ArDali1 · 29/07/2017 09:19

OP no news yet?! I'm dying to know what's going on and where those CFN are!

RippleEffects · 29/07/2017 09:20

Oh, if anyone asks CFN is Criminally Forgetful Neighbours. Updating DH with DC in earshot and he asked what CFN was.Smile

UnicornSparkles1 · 29/07/2017 09:21

Queenie I think this too. In fact I wonder if the dodgy builder from 100 miles away is the BTL landlord.

Serialweightwatcher · 29/07/2017 09:25

Would it be possible OP to just start a new thread when they appear or something occurs and you have an update, because I'm going bog-eyed trying to keep up here ... pretty please Grin ... I've just seen someone post about different builders but I can't read back anymore Sad

Scarpetta1982 · 29/07/2017 09:25

9 more pages whilst I slept! My my you have all been busy!
partakes in the coffee- is it too early for Wine hmmm

Vango · 29/07/2017 09:26

Ripple we could all be in it! Minimum donation for a 'Greek Chorus part', best available 'OP Friend'. Excellent suggestion.

prettybird · 29/07/2017 09:26

They can run but they can't hide Grin

I'm sure that if Planning don't get an appropriate response to their "Stop" notice, they'll be on to the Land Registry for details of who owns it.

I'm having morning coffee later with a friend who is a property lawyer for the council. I'll ask him what would happen next. Might be slightly different as we're in Scotland but the gist should be the same.

SlatternIsTrying · 29/07/2017 09:27

I cannot decide what my favourite thing about this saga is

  • the outrageous actions of CFN
  • an OP that updates
  • the collective hilarity of the nest of vipers
  • the kicking that Newdaddie got for his man spreading
  • the frankly awesome diagrams
  • the utterly inspired dramatisation of the saga complete with suggested actors/ eye candy
  • Spanish Nana and her paella pan
  • the excellent summaries, special mention to obsessed

Thank you OP.

MissFitton · 29/07/2017 09:27

Can I just say that the thought of this whole saga being set to music and performed by thousands on ice has cheered up a rainy Saturday morning immensely? As you were.

Leinlondon · 29/07/2017 09:28

So hard keeping on top of this thread, it's like having a second job! Watt, hope you had a good night's sleep after all the excitement yesterday and are ready for potential action today if the CFN's return. Also the relief that you hadn't just disappeared and posts been deleted was sooooo great, my heart was in my mouth for a couple of pages. This is truly the thread that has everything

gingergenius · 29/07/2017 09:32

@SlatternIsTrying it's a tough call!!!! Grin

We're having tea here in Oz, it's night time. Hands over some wine so I don't drink alone

newdaddie · 29/07/2017 09:34

You lot are mean.

Idris is the perfect fit. I'm a dead ringer for Idris just me a good suit and girdle and a few grey hairs. You might need to squint a bit too.

QueenieGoldstein · 29/07/2017 09:34

Martin's reaction if it is a HUTH property! Always read the legal pack people.

SnickersWasAHorse · 29/07/2017 09:36

I did mention the possiblity of the builders moving the notice from the planners a few threads back. I bet they have.

Do we know if CFN actually lives there or do they just come and go while it's being done up?

I was thinking that there was no way they wouldn't know about the listing. But if this is a buy to let then they might have agents handling all the purchasing and not actually read all the legal gumf.

BlondeB83 · 29/07/2017 09:36

My guess is the neighbours have booked 2 weeks in Benidorm...

DonkeyOil · 29/07/2017 09:38
Grin Martin would be full of all sorts of caveats and dire warnings, if anyone was contemplating buying a listed property then illegally installing a french window onto a garden which wasn't even theirs!

Talk the app allows you to watch a thread then bookmark the last post you read, when you open the thread again it goes straight to your bookmark. Only seems to work from watching not 'I'm on'. ''Tis very useful! Pictures also show up better but the OP posts aren't quite so easy to spot as on the website (name is green but the background is still white).

QueenieGoldstein · 29/07/2017 09:40

The key question is what music would they have over the reveal? The music is pure gold on that show!
