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

As much fun as this has been I would love to see op just make a new thread when Barry & Julie come back. For all we know theyre gone to Maui for 2 weeks. I just dont have the stamina & my poor neglected children have become feral

Can I nominate the boy from Love Actually as Work Experience Boy?
Hope you slept well Watt thanks for the updates.

newusernameness · 29/07/2017 09:44

Wait I'm losing the plot on this - there's another CFN parking thread??

fruitlovingmonkey · 29/07/2017 09:45

Daniel Radcliffe would also be acceptable but ONLY if he raps the building regulations.

pollymere · 29/07/2017 09:45

I can't believe they'd have got planning as the doors themselves would encroach on your land. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Bookmarking works for me on the App in "Threads I'm on" Confused

Bluediamonds - I am constantly frustrated by the fact that Facebook doesn't have a Confused emoji - and that Hmm one isn't quite right either Grin

DonkeyOil · 29/07/2017 09:47

Would have to be If I Could Turn Back Time! Grin

Pollymere

They HAVEN'T got PP!!!

diddl · 29/07/2017 09:48

As well as whatever info they put through the door, the planners wanted the rubble to be left, didn't they?

What's Op supposed to do in CFNs/builders come back, go out though the doors & remove?

Do the planners put police/crime scene style tape around it?

Mummyme1987 · 29/07/2017 09:48

Aren't all flats leasehold? So who owns the lease?

newdaddie · 29/07/2017 09:51

@Colinfarrellsarse

These threads will definitely have to have a break and on top of the CFNs coming back, planning & building control are going to take weeks if not months to finish. I can easily see parts 12+ popping up sporadically in the future

The Avatar series will probably be finished before this is over.

Mummyme1987 · 29/07/2017 09:51

Don't you have to have the leaseholders permission too?

prettybird · 29/07/2017 09:52

Pollymere - it's kraft been established that they don't have planning, after the visit by the three planning people yesterday. Hence the "Stop" notice put through the door and Planning presumably getting in touch with the CFBs via the details that Watttyyy was able to obtain in her photographic evidence.

HistoriaTrixie · 29/07/2017 09:52

Fucking hell, it's not yet 5 am here in the US, I got up needing a wee and had to check in to see if there was any action! C'mon Barry and Julie!

LivingInMidnight · 29/07/2017 09:53

I know you're not supposed to be moving them, but are there enough bricks to fashion the top of a well? If there are, I think it would be interesting to build it, get your friend to dress in white and hide inside and then when CFN finally come out of hiding re-enact the scary bit from the ring in the direction of the ugly doors.

Mummyme1987 · 29/07/2017 09:53

I can't believe how long I've spent reading this thread! I'm hooked.

prettybird · 29/07/2017 09:54

Kraft = already ConfusedBlush

Rubyslippers7780 · 29/07/2017 09:54

Phew..was in a panic i'd lost the thread

Belleende · 29/07/2017 09:54

It is nearly 10am and op has not surfaced. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

DumbledoresApprentice · 29/07/2017 09:55

Really hoping that the neighbour will turn up soon. I'm not sure I can put of having a life for much longer. Grin

MsJolly · 29/07/2017 09:55

Awaiting next instalment with cup of tea in hand and pink dye in hair (so have only 20mins!!!)

Supermagicsmile · 29/07/2017 09:56

Hope we get an update soon!! Smile

How very dare you!

I was here way before the planning people let alone the bloody shop keeper.

LakieLady · 29/07/2017 09:57

Is anyone else hoping that Mrs CFN, she of the far eastern appearance, turns out to be the daughter or granddaughter of EKL?

Then EKL and Spanish Grandma can have a multi-cultural cooking war in the garden, noodles and paella all over the place.

Perhaps Watty's friend has an Army Dad to add to the mix.

newdaddie · 29/07/2017 10:00

The freeholders of the building will definitely need to be involved too. The flats might be sold as a share of freehold rather than leasehold though
