Duct tape barbie = DTB

Oooh, that board thing is clever. (Far cleverer than my prologue - amazing what you can do by just buggering around with something written by the Bard)

Aw, I love MiniCat.

That Trello board is a thing of beauty. My DH is always trying to get me to use trello, I'm not sure where I'd even start with explaining that board!

Laughing at your memorable autocorrect, misscongeniality

Right, what have I missed? I've been at a wedding, come home to bed, DD will have me up at 5am, but I need to know what's going on!

Have CFNs made an appearance yet?

OddBoots · 30/07/2017 02:33

I know the neighbours are 'the enemy' but given that door replaced their window do they have a fire escape if they were to come back to the flat with the door taped shut? Maybe I have watched too much Casualty but I'd worry about them not having an emergency exit.

OohDammit · 30/07/2017 02:40

Brava, nocool brava

shakingmyhead1 · 30/07/2017 02:41

a fire escape that leads to a private garden with no way out?

One Grumpy Princess reporting for guard duty.

Our other puppy is a sooky spoodle, Not helpful, he tries tho

It's a wonderful time to be angled by the roaring fire [winter here] and having a good funny hilarious thread to catch up on
I'm Happy.
(((((Hugs)))))) OP, I know this is your life. I admire your sense of humour in all this

Serious props to NoCool for the Shakespearean verse.
And may I add further international cred to this fabulous thread by checking in, agog, from the arse end of Fiji. (Thank goodness for satellite internet or I'd have to wait for a week to update, and that would not be acceptable Grin)

faithinthesound · 30/07/2017 03:14

Have just returned from hunting and gathering expedition (read: going for tikka masala). Have added Fiji to the List Of Countries.

As soon as I put my washing on and actually have some of my food, I'll get started on recapping Thread the Fifth!

faithinthesound · 30/07/2017 03:44

Does anyone know how to link to a specific post within a thread?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/07/2017 03:49

I love your friend.

If you bookmark the specific post then click on the thread title in the threads list either in the topic or in active threads, then the url in your top navigation bar should be specifically for the post you bookmarked.

faithinthesound · 30/07/2017 04:07

Thanks! I'm most of the way through the fifth thread now!

redfragglebiker · 30/07/2017 05:30

Shamelessly placemarking for next update. This thread just keeps on giving!

Mummyoflittledragon · 30/07/2017 05:43

blackistheneworange · 30/07/2017 06:07

This just gets better! I suspect a return is planned for Monday- can you have a lookout then?

Here's my kitten, Lola who is 12 weeks. She's woken the whole house using her litter tray - I'll say no more.

I think your friend is amazing and for the entertainment of MN and in standing up for her friend what she has done is fantastic. But. I just have a feeling that she has given them the upper hand a bit and would not be surprised if CFN reported you for damage. Not that it would make their own problems go away but it's am opportunity to "get their own back" for reporting them. Just sayin.

TheMaddHugger · 30/07/2017 06:25

Awwwwwww BlackIs Gorgeous kitty you have there

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 06:26

faith,

Here's another well-earned bourbon for having worked on through our night/ your afternoon. (The brand name being especially apt for a CFN Barry).

Great work being done by you all, over at OP's/ C8's Trello.

Oh Lola and Princess, how gorgeous you both are. [smile[
