Love the new diagram.

RiversrunWoodville · 29/07/2017 23:05

Bloody hell I feed and entertain the kids for a wee while and there's been secret smokers, doors, bouncy castles (yy to pointing Spider-Mans arse at them!) hooray for impending arrival of lovely abuela though I reckon she will sort out CFNs or builders alike (if they aren't one and the same)

fridaynight · 29/07/2017 23:07

Lost you for a bit there, couldn't find thread....thanks watty for updates, we've been discussing your situation today, will there be a BBQ along with the bouncy castle tomorrow ? Hope the weather holds out for you .

SchadenfreudePersonified Rottweiler puppies. Two of them.

I was going to offer them to Wattyyy, but they're still at the "I'm adorable love me" stage, which is not what we're looking for in this case. We need the quiet steely gaze of the older variety. The German Shepherd has the bark, but would then hide so she's no use either HmmSad

Hello! I really am struggling to keep up with you all. How is CFN: The Garden Thieves the musical coming along?

Jux · 29/07/2017 23:10

I simply love your Trello board, C8. It's wonderful. Am scratching my head to find a use for them myself, now. So far I have a List called 'Procrastinating', but I am procratinating about putting something on it.

faithinthesound · 29/07/2017 23:11

I am busily creating a rough bullet pointed list of events on the board - would appreciate any input if I've missed anything important/got things in the wrong order! I'm doing it largely from memory since the OP's posts were removed from the earlier threads. (Are they still gone? I'm going to check again)

WoofWoofMooWoof · 29/07/2017 23:12

Lynn - your FStB is absolutely gorgeous!

I can throw in an 8-year old who can clear a room with her farts if that helps!

Twopeapods · 29/07/2017 23:12

I'm off mumsnet for less than a day and look what I miss.
Luckily I have PMS and DH is staying clear of me so I can sit and read mumsnet in peace.
CFN better hurry up and make some sort of appearance.
Good luck with your bouncy castle!

kevstep · 29/07/2017 23:15

I think it was all come wall with the walsh! OP deserves a good night kip!

Deluding to shamelessly placemats.

This is my favourite autocorrect ever.

hiddenmnetter · 29/07/2017 23:18

Sorry for a minor diversion - OP have you thought about getting a camera to see people using the door?

Nest do a webcam and if you pay £8/month they'll send you phone alerts when someone happens out of the ordinary. That way you'd be able to know when CFN or builders are there.

MrsMozart · 29/07/2017 23:18

Ah! Farting! Both Rotties can do that, with more effect than is conceivable from bodies so small ConfusedBlushConfusedBlush

Can also do a Killer Kat, a Karate Chop Rabbit, and one of the horses has a serious attitude problem with anything she perceives to be fuckwittery Grin

Doesitgoto11 · 29/07/2017 23:20

@StrangeLookingParasite mine too 🤣🤣 @Magratmakethetea have some more WineWineWineWineGrinGrin

C8H10N4O2 · 29/07/2017 23:22

@Spookle @Jux

Not just me any more - @faithinthesound is main author of the cast list and the list of events and we have a couple more volunteers joining the list.

Hopefully that means we can still update the board on Monday ;)

Happy to welcome more to the Mumsnet CFN team of editors! Best way to start with Trello is to just do it - everything is reversible or changeable if you don't like it afterward.

I'm tempted to integrate it with a Slack channel just to excite @GeekyWombat

Luncharmstrong · 29/07/2017 23:26

This is better than say yes to the dress

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 29/07/2017 23:29

I do hope the CFNs come back from their mini break tomorrow!

Waddlelikeapenguin · 29/07/2017 23:30

Spookle Star diagram update!

gingergenius · 29/07/2017 23:30

I've brought my OH in to join the party because he feels like a MN widower. I've brought him up to speed on happenings. Hope that's ok!!! Everyone say hi to to @mrgingergenius 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

mrgingergenius · 29/07/2017 23:34

Have decided to join as only way to have a convo with OH at the mo. Mumsnet widower!!! @gingergenius

bluediamonds · 29/07/2017 23:34

hi mrgingergenius

Allthebestnamesareused · 29/07/2017 23:34

We could perhaps abbreviate Spanish Grandma to SpanGran that would be recognisable.

YouTheCat · 29/07/2017 23:34

Spookle is lord of the diagrams!

BlooBagoo · 29/07/2017 23:35

Hi @mrgingergenius

Maybe I should do the same with DH instead of texting him with every update. Ha!

ColourfulOrangex · 29/07/2017 23:35
