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

SnugglyBedSocks · 29/07/2017 07:02

Did we ever get told if the friend returned from the shop?

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 29/07/2017 07:03

Maybe CFN rented and have done one and may never return!

Namechangeaholic · 29/07/2017 07:04

This is my last morning of being childfree as DM has taken DS for the week to give me a break. This is the first day I've not had to get up early for an appointment/answer the door to Tesco. YET I WAS AWAKE AT 6AM! First thought: Are Julie and Barry back from Maui? Has the OP's friend copped off with the shopkeeper? Just about to read Mexican House Theif and EKL

Thread 5! Not posted yet but nearly got sacked yesterday because this was far more interesting than work

mokaerisifhija · 29/07/2017 07:05

How did I completely miss 5 threads of mumsnet gold till just now.

Caught up just reading OP posts only. Is "put up a fence" this thread's "cancel the cheque"? If you can afford it I would instead suggest a good solid garden bench like this (cheaper ones down to £40 or so also available but make sure it's not too lightweight)

I would suggest writing a formal letter along the lines of:

Dear CFN

Given the complexity of this situation I hope that you agree that it is best to keep all communication between us on this matter in writing.

For the avoidance of doubt I must start my confirming that you do not and never have had my permission to access my land in any way whatsoever. The work that has been done illegally to your flat includes a serious trespass onto my land which is unacceptable.

I understand from the council planning department that you will be required to revert the building structure to its original state at your own expense. Obviously this will require further access onto my land. Please ensure that I am given at least 2 weeks notice of any such work in writing. I will of course require appropriate compensation for the intrusion and inconvenience, and my garden must be completely tidied and cleaned of all mess and leftover building materials when the work is complete.

I would prefer not to discuss this in person as we both have the right to enjoy our private property in peace without unpleasant scenes, so please do reply in writing to let me know your plans to set this unfortunate situation right as soon as possible.

You will note that I have placed a bench against the doors in order to protect the privacy of my land. Of course in the event of notice being given for any pre-arranged work, I will agree for it to be moved. Any other access into my land except for rectification work for which due notice has been given shall be trespass and shall be prosecuted.

Yours faithfully
WhatIsThisWatt

Goodness me, what a saga! Shock I thought I was keeping up reasonably well yesterday, but it seems that I missed an entire thread.
Thank you very much for your excellent recap, obsessedwithCFN.
My understanding of the situation is that the planning people came out yesterday, were very cross. Builders didn't reappear yesterday? So assume mess is still in OP's garden? CFN are nowhere to be found. Is this correct?

Marcipex · 29/07/2017 07:06

That screen is excellent, is it really on castors? Or is that just for the shop iyswim?

HmmmHashtag · 29/07/2017 07:07

I've read all but thread 4, as that just got confusing. Can someone please confirm that CFN haven't shown their faces yet? I haven't missed anything crucial have I?!

Marcipex · 29/07/2017 07:08

God yes, who thought of a bench. Those with a kind of built on arbour?

BoffinMum · 29/07/2017 07:08

Can we crowd source a few dozen movement-sensitive mooning gnomes? I feel this would be a lot better than a mere bench in making the point.

Mulberryaddict · 29/07/2017 07:10

Blimey - that just made a boring night shift more bearable 😂

Doesn't sound like they've actually moved in next door yet does it.

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 29/07/2017 07:10

Marc yes it really is in Castirs!

I think we should all chip in and buy it for the OP. She can then ram it against the CFN's doors.

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 29/07/2017 07:11

*castorsHmm

CaveMum · 29/07/2017 07:14

Shameless placemark and basking in the glory of being the first to mention EKL Grin

Marcipex · 29/07/2017 07:14

I'll chip in for the screen Woods.

In fact I'll chip in for anything, just for the hell of it :)

MrsMozart · 29/07/2017 07:17

Morning y'all Smile

Hope OP, friend, NNDN, Spanish Granny, and NSK, as well as Planners and all good and heavily quite possibly over invested MNs slept well.

Did someone mention coffee?

MetalMidget · 29/07/2017 07:19

I'm in a tent in a soggy field. I hate camping at the best of times. But somehow, this thread makes it more bearable (which hopefully is some consolation to the OP!)

WattdeEll · 29/07/2017 07:22

AlpacaLypse - Yes sorry about that, probably because I was delirious with insomnia and giddy with the perfect thread, did think it might be crap, will try again with the lyrics later.

flumpybear · 29/07/2017 07:26

Wow I've missed so much!! Yet so little .... come home CFN we wanna know what the fuck you were thinking!!!
Parking 🚗

SpaghettiMeatballs · 29/07/2017 07:28

I had to go to work and then out for a drink yesterday. It was so inconvenient as I've missed three threads! Caught up now.

Hurrah for the planners. They sound helpful.
