I'd be up for a bouncy castle party tomorrow. I am in the South. But the south of England is pretty large!

Justanothernameonthepage · 29/07/2017 20:31

Well if you need an overexcited toddler to use the bouncy castle and are in Hants, just let me know. I also have wine :)

Flowersinyourhair · 29/07/2017 20:33

You are fab OP. Your CFN don't stand a chance

EarlyWelcome · 29/07/2017 20:33

I think I might have had too much Gin but the fact that the photo of Spider-Man's arse has appeared three times has made me LOL 😂

Rubyslippers7780 · 29/07/2017 20:33

Found the new thread!! Are you serious about the bouncy castle??

Flumpernickel · 29/07/2017 20:34

Pulls up a deck chair in OP's garden...

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/07/2017 20:34

Oh. thank God!

I couldn't find you and was worried sick that I'd be the only one not to find out what eventually happens.

Petronius16 · 29/07/2017 20:34

Next thread - just call it, Seven! We'll all know what it is.

MadamePomfrey · 29/07/2017 20:35

@Louhotel summary for you I only have one for everything though sorry. I think 3 and 4 start around the time grandma is mentioned 😂😂

Abbreviations

CFN cheeky fucker neighbours - also known as Barry and Julia.

CFB cheeky fucking builders

NSK nice shop keeper- also known as ken to most raj from the David Williams books to some.

EKL as always is elderly Korean Lady

A slightly over dramatic summary...

Chapter 1

Once upon a time in a land not that far away lived princess Wattyyy 👸. She lived in a lovey flat where she spent her days frolicking in her private garden. 🌻🌼

One day poor Wattyyy came home to find her lovely private garden was being invaded by people from the nearby kingdom of cheeky fuckers!! Worse than this in trying to break into the garden they had destroyed a beautiful old window.

Poor Wattyyy was upset and angry about the destruction and invasion she tried to speak to the builders but they quickly scarpered🏃🏽. So she called up the knights from the planning office 👷🏻‍♀️👷🏻. They were very cross at what had been done and promised to make the nasty CF repair the damage.

However despite much searching the CF's who are also known as Barry and Julia are no where to be seen. Detectives from the ever helpful land of Mumsnet think the may have been spotted in spain Barry and Julia?? .

Wattyyy needing support phoned her grandmother in Spain who so upset and angry at what is occurring is now making plans to come (with a paella 🥘 pan I believe) and beat CF for messing with her granddaughter. As grandma might take a while Wattyyy called her friend over. Brave friend went on a quest to the shop for the most pressure treasure 🍷 and information but has yet to return...

Thus ends chapter one, tune in for chapter 2 when will friend get back from the shops? Where are Barry and Julia?? Is grandma comming or not??

Chapter 2

Friend's quest was long and the wait for information had lead to the people of mumsnetville planning and casting a Hollywood movie of poor Wattyyys story 🎬🎞📽.

Then Wattyyy disappeared all posts gone in a poof!! The people despaired although some called troll. But the fairy godmother at HQ came to rescue all was well just a name change gone wrong. The people took a deep breath and the story went on. Wattyyy had to work all day so ken from the magic potion shop with wine kept gaurd while brewing and selling his wears. During Wattys trials at work Songs were written and boards to keep track of the CFs made. Then Wattyyy was done. She went to see Ken who hadn't seen anything all. He even gave Wattyyy some treasured wine for her troubles. Home from her long day at work Wattyyy went to investigate only to find 5 cigarette butts in the garden and what looked like new doors 🚪in the kitchen. Wattyyy was cross the people of mumsnet raging!! A letter was to be written!! And a laminated sign went on the door.

Who had been in the house?? What should be used to barricade the doors?? What were the doors for???? Could the CF's really be planning to carry on with the invasion plan??? How many mumsnetters will show up for the bouncy castle party tomorrow?Stay tuned for the next instalment

Honeypot forces are promoting right service first time which in this case has happened. Trespass is civil, building law civil or at least not for the police. There are not currently any ongoing asb issues. I do not see what is unprofessional about managing expectations and ensuring that the correct agency deals with a problem. As previously posted if they return and op is feeling at all frightened or intimidate then of course call.

Questioningeverything · 29/07/2017 20:35

Cor you go away for a night and it's all gone nuts. Can I come tomorrow op? I'm south ish. I've no kids but can bring the pimms...

HashiAsLarry · 29/07/2017 20:36

QueenOfThorns · 29/07/2017 20:36

YES! This must be the right thread, it has Spiderman's arse on it Grin

Questioningeverything · 29/07/2017 20:36

Correction I do have kids. None with me at home though!

BoneyBackJefferson · 29/07/2017 20:36
LazySusan11 · 29/07/2017 20:36

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/07/2017 20:36

@LadyMadness That's the third time you've posted Spiderman's arse now

I'm sensing a pattern here Florene.

(Maybe I should have been a detective . . . )

SasBel · 29/07/2017 20:37

Not place marking at all, just here to bounce around for a bit....

Newmum102 · 29/07/2017 20:37

Thank goodness there's a new thread. Was worried I'd never find out what happened, phew!

Jg1 · 29/07/2017 20:38

Phew.....I found you! I was in a right panic for a minute.

youarenotkiddingme · 29/07/2017 20:38

The thing that confuses me in all this is why would you buy a flat that doesn't have access to the garden outside and just assume that a- the previous owners didn't want access and b- the garden you can't access belongs to you?

I actually want them to be first time developers who were spotted at auction by Homes under the hammer and see the 'catch up' bit where they explain their development story Grin

Oh and I'm middle south and ds loves a bouncy castle.
