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

Morning, OP (and friend, if she's still there?).

We all chipped in to buy this for your garden.

I think what we need is for OP to post updates when she has something new to share, and for the rest of us to keep quiet. That way we don't all have to read through one thread after another looking for updates.

while we're waiting with baited breath for OP to come back, can anyone tell me how the thread about the shed in the garden that was supposed to be a gym, but wasn't, turned out?

ASDismynormality · 29/07/2017 10:35

Blatent placemark

TheRollingCrone · 29/07/2017 10:38

I have to go out too! The revision notes 1-8 lovely, the cast list is coming on brilliantly(lots of variations ).
I have to go out but I don't want to go out...

Keep the home fires burning...

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 29/07/2017 10:42

Have loved all the casting ideas but could we also find a role for Sarah Lancashire please? (Apologies if already suggested). Wouldn't she make a great kick-ass English Heritage officer?

Fantastictwistsand · 29/07/2017 10:45

Fox when you reopen the thread it should just take you straight back to the place you bookmarked at.

I think Watty's off eating the breakfast TheMadHugger so kindly provided.
It was delicious, MadHug, thank you!

May I politely add a rule suggestion for new threads? Link all the old ones in the first post and copy paste the the summary thus far... after the first one it should be an easy copy paste.

There can be a 'bugger off Newdaddie' warning too Grin

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/07/2017 10:53

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

I can confirm this Snickers. Every time I read it I thought "That has already been posited as a likely occurrence" (couldn't remember who by, though, and no energy to read the other 38 threads again).

If you need a witness I'm your woman.

MyOtherProfile · 29/07/2017 10:54

I was out all day yesterday and have just taken AGES to catch up cos you lot are so chatty! And still no sign of CFN!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/07/2017 10:55

Can I nominate the boy from Love Actually as Work Experience Boy?

I would like to respond that he's now 38 and built like a brick shithouse, Monkey, but I've seen him on GoT, and if anything he's got younger. Grin

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

Miss Jolly can referee.

I bet she uses a hockey stick to maintain order.

Order up a copy of the land register for their flat. If they have a mortgage (look at the charges register), you can have some great fun informing their lenders of the multiple breaches of their mortgage terms

That is so evil, it is beautiful!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/07/2017 11:05

how do I return to the bookmark when I come back. Help please, thank you!

The thread does it for you.

I think Magick may be involved.

The shortened version of my CFN story is that our old downstairs' neighbours (Victorian stone villa, converted into two dwellings, split horizontally, front garden communal, back garden split left and right) wanted all 6 wheelie bins at the entrance to our side of the garden. Couldn't possibly according to them have them at the bottom of the communal driveway as "that's what the Asians do" ShockHmm and "our daughter's view from her bedroom affected if you put them on the pathway around the house" even though we owned that pathway

Also tried to sell one of the original coal garden sheds in our garden when they sold their house.

Fortunately our new neighbours are lovely even if the first conversation we had to have with them was "we do know where the key to the shed is but it's ours" - and the bins (all 8 of them as there is now also a wheelie bin for glass for each household) are now down at the bottom of the driveway Grin (But given that one of the couple is Scottish Asian although their predecessors had described them as "a lovely couple, he's Malaysian, they're both GPs", their prejudices have been confirmed Wink)

WoofWoofMooWoof · 29/07/2017 11:06

I left the DC to their own devices for much of yesterday while reading these threads and others linked they were outside playing with the council kids and their goats, another thread entirely. Today I HAVE TO get stuff done!!!

I needed to both "watch this thread" AND "Bookmark" the last post I read. I tried this, but if I do that, I don't get e-mail alerts, it doesn't show up on my watching list, and doesn't take me to the post I bookmarked Sad.

prettybird · 29/07/2017 11:07

....but their Cheeky Fuckedness panes into comparison with Wattyy's CFNs Grin
