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

Thanks to those who linked to the EKL thread. 'Tis the most beautiful thread on MN and I remember it fondly!

ChrisPrattsFace · 28/07/2017 23:30

Glad you're ok OP! Get some rest - you've got a lot of updating to do tomorrow! Grin

SnickersWasAHorse · 28/07/2017 23:30

Well that all got difficult. Good to have the op back in green.

Some people are greedy and cunning - they do the work first, or don't bother with proper planning, or deviate from the agreed plans, etc. I had a small 16th century cottage and the 'yummy mummy' in the big Edwardian house next door wanted a bigger bathroom (bigger than my cottage!) just tacked on to her house, depriving us of light and view, and she ruined our 18th century outbuilding, by building onto it, no permission asked. Planning Dept were hopeless, we strongly suspected were bribed.

Hope it all goes well 🌺 I didn't have mumsnetters supporting me then, think would have had a different outcome!

Sweet dreams watt- off to read EKL and fingers crossed the VCFN's turn up tomoro Grin

6pm tonight - checks email, sees Mumsnet Daily with title "New neighbour is using my private garden"

"Crikey, this sounds tasty," I think, after spending most of yesterday reading the CFN parking debacle. I read out the OP to DH, he's shocked!

5 and a half hours later I have finally caught up to the fifth and current thread, DH has had to go to bed due to early shift in the morning, I noticed the missing posts by OP but got the gist of the updates by the replies.

And I'm sure in the time it's taken me to type this out and hit post, another page will have appeared on this one. And I'll have to text DH when he's at work to update him on the entire story so far.

Thank you Madame!

aleC4 · 28/07/2017 23:32

Can't believe it's now on the 5th post!

LakieLady · 28/07/2017 23:33

Good night, OP and everyone, and thanks for all the fun.

All this excitement has quite worn me out and I'm off to bed....

overmydeadbody · 28/07/2017 23:33

I've just lost my entire evening reading these threads and getting lost in classics! I hope we have an update tomorrow and the CFNs come home!

Rachel0Greep · 28/07/2017 23:34

Please take care OP.

I know the threads are entertaining to those of us who are not living this but I can't imagine that it is not stressful, at some level.

Just steer clear of CFN, and make sure that all bases are covered re disruption and any cost incurred by you in the process.

myusernamewhichisthis · 28/07/2017 23:34

wtf.....im lost now on these threads.

ItchyFoot · 28/07/2017 23:37

I bet nothing happens till Monday now. Where are you CFN?

dreamingaboutcheese · 28/07/2017 23:38

I've completely missed the link between EKL and CFN or it could be I'm just too sleep deprived to work it out but sleep well all and I really hope the neighbours come back overnight. I need closure!

Neoflex · 28/07/2017 23:38

Goodnight Wattyy!

PrincessFiorimonde · 28/07/2017 23:38

BreakfastAtSquiffanys: Trouble with mumsnet threads, is that they operate in a different time continuum from real life.
So 24 hours on a thread seems like a week.

So true! Grin

Just read EKL! What a wonderful lady! Could do with her round mine to kill some spiders!
