Asked MiniCat if she wanted to join OPProtectionUnitVolunteers on the board.

She says maybe, when she has finished heating her bum from my heat vent on the old kitchen table

@BlooBagoo we work together and have been working today. He's done this as it's the only way he'll get a conversation out of me because I'm so immersed in CFN-gate. I've been regaling him with the cast list, the updates etc but it's not the same as living it with the rest of us (am expecting an eye roll emoji at any moment!)

TheRollingCrone · 29/07/2017 23:40

Sweet baby Jesus - i've been everywhere looking for y'all.

Wah g'wan?

Taking it Barry & Julie arn't back

(No of course I didn't just post that to place mark)

Love the new diagram Spookle

Just wanted to add, are you planning on leaving the bouncy castle in the garden when you're not home? Worried CFN/CFB would vandalise it and you'd be left with a big bill to replace it.

gingergenius · 29/07/2017 23:41

@Coconutcreampie I like it!

mrgingergenius · 29/07/2017 23:41
Hmm
Mamagin · 29/07/2017 23:42

Hope that you are inviting neighbours 3-6 to the party.
Also, while you are out, they could parade the boundary walls, possibly dressed as Grenadier Guards. I think that an occasional glimpse of Busby over the garden wall could do no harm.

Have just caught up with Alpha's grandma comment Grin

Does anyone know what else is happening in RL on mumsnet at the moment? Am a bit concerned all the CFs in the land will be taking the opportunity to get up to all sorts while while the whole of mumsnet is looking the other way...

Doesitgoto11 · 29/07/2017 23:44

I am knackered and really need to unpack all my shit go to bed but I'm thinking there may well be a new thread on the go by the time I wake up from my wine aided sleep

MrsMozart · 29/07/2017 23:46

MrGingerGenius welcome to the fold Grin

C8H10N4O2 · 29/07/2017 23:50

Hello @MrGingerGenius

This might help you get up to speed with the tale whilst @GingerGenius sips Gin

BlooBagoo · 29/07/2017 23:51

@gingergenius Brilliant! Have to say, MrBloo didn't seem to grasp the whole cast list side of things but the second door update came in when he was driving home so I sat him down with a coffee to fill him in as soon as he stopped telling me about how his work day was. Pretty sure he thinks we're all insane (but all the best people are!) Wink

Been reading this thread since it was just the first thread, but been too "omfg what* with my jaw dropped to comment!

If only I were SW instead of SE, I have a lovely autistic girl who gets weird for random reasons who could have occupied your gardens. She is also amazing at asking the strangest of questions, not stopping with her 'probing' for info for AGES! I reckon she'd just wander in CFN 'patio door' and ask questions about a weird coloured kitchen :P

Who could possibly be upset with a little autistic kid sweetly asking every question you never thought of till your brain explodes? :P Glad I found the new thread! Panicked just now when I didn't see a link at the end of the last one! So VERY invested in this matter!

WhatIsThisWatt · 29/07/2017 23:55

update

My friend from last night has just arrived stating that she will be staying over tonight and I've to say hello to MN (I'm halfway updating so this post may come through way later than intended! Grin )

She's currently out back with industrial stength tape taping welding CFN doors together.

I can't stop her.

I don't think I want to Grin

She's properly taped them with a whole roll of tape. Oh god.

Newbie here, totally agog and memorised by this thread 😳
Our CFN are more of a Jeremy-Vile-Stylee type and we don't use the garden through the warmer months anymore but our days often play out akin to a tv soap on speed,I feel for you OP but something tells me you'll come out intact the other side of this x

Marlinspike · 29/07/2017 23:57

I love your ninja duct tape friend! Have the CFNs actually been seen yet?

misscongeniality · 29/07/2017 23:59

Clearly I meant memorised lol

Doesitgoto11 · 30/07/2017 00:00

Gaffer tape fixes everything dontcha know 😉 I've had another thought though, are you and the OP of the fence painting thread anywhere near each other? Maybe you could borrow Beefy Nice Neighbour and his boerboel guard dog for a little while 😉

BlackeyedSusan · 30/07/2017 00:00

tape on the doors. oo they are going to love that. [excited]

MadamePomfrey · 30/07/2017 00:00

misscongeniality · 30/07/2017 00:00

Doesitgoto11 · 30/07/2017 00:01
