I'm lost I cant keep up!

What about "TheLovelySamantha" instead

Well it was really just people confused Trello and Trellis and I toyed with the board having its own account (but probs wouldn't last long anyway).

Can't believe TheLovelySamantha is available, nudge nudge wink wink.

R4 always an inspiration c8!

Cheers re: doors.
I've had all these threads open, and the parking, horse squatters and side passage thread and got myself all confused as to where I was. Having a nightmare about Zombies last night didn't help either. I blame the Zombie Gnomes. Grin

Hi from rural Sweden.

Looking forward to the arrival of Spanish granny tomorrow!

Vango · 30/07/2017 12:23

Anyone hanging around on this thread who fancies a bit of background comedy....turn on R4 now! 😂

BlooBagoo · 30/07/2017 12:23

Finally caught up!

I even dreamed about Ken last night. He looked like the limo driver guy from HIMYM. Confused

I've just clicked on the link to the trellis board - I'm in awe. That is amazing and I'm also delighted to see the Guernsey flag 🇬🇬

Just to clear up the fire escape issue. My friend has a flat that overlooks ndn garden. Being arseholes they blocked the window from outside. She invited the fire service to visit and comment. Turns out there is no right to escape even though it's the only way out the back of the flat. Fireman said you are only expected to be able to exit through front door

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 12:30

Jeremy as George Formby, Van. Grin

FluffyWhiteTowels · 30/07/2017 12:32

Wow can't believe this saga just read all the threads. MN at its best

Poor whatyyy a horrendous situation.

But dear MNetters .... I've been LMAO at your posts and the pure genius of some of you. I salute you all

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 12:33

Sorry, wandered off topic there Blush...

GrumpyGreta · 30/07/2017 12:33

Wow only wanted a quick look at what the neighbour issue was coz i have shit neighbours too and have got sucked in.

Almost rtft but must have missed exactly what CFN is? (Assumed it was 'cunts for neighbours'... yes?)

OP Flowers hope it gets sorted quickly.
Love a good mn thread!!

BluePancakes · 30/07/2017 12:33

I went out yesterday morning and just got home, so I'm waaaay behind, but just wanted to add my praise to @Judashascomeintosomemoney for that fantastic song. I had to get Victoria Wood up on youtube, just so I could sing along.

I think that was the single best post I've read to date on MNs, so thank you. Bravo! Flowers

inneedofchocolate · 30/07/2017 12:34

Surely Spanish Gran will be able to keep watch if op has to work this week.

madja · 30/07/2017 12:35

I had to take a break yesterday Angry
Cannot believe what has happened since! Gone back in the garden! Smoked in the garden!
And then the gorilla tape. I have yet to find anything that gorilla tape can't solve Grin
Hope you are ok today WhatistheWatt.

WhatIsThisWatt · 30/07/2017 12:35

OMG I have just managed to read through all the posts!!

The trello is amazing Star

Right it seems that the tape MIGHT be an issue so I'm going to remove it and replace it with a cable tie (is that the right word?)

Now I just need to try and get it off Envy

Hopefully they don't walk in while I'm trying pull tape off the door. Agghhhh.

With the issue of the fire escape, I'm not sure if the previous window even opened enough, and I THINK the builders would have started from the inside but I cannot be sure.

Christ, I only went to Sainsburys and to collect some bricks. Finally up to date. Hope you are ok this morning OP.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 12:36

"CFN" is Cheeky Fucker Neighbour(s), Greta!

HmmmHashtag · 30/07/2017 12:37

MNHQ are going to have to make a subforum for this topic alone!

(Apologies if anyone else has suggested this, I've mainly only been reading the OP's posts to save on time )

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 12:38

Morning, OP,

How's the head? And GLF's? Wine Wine

Vango · 30/07/2017 12:38

Christ, I only went to Sainsburys and to collect some bricks.

Hmm suspicious behaviour right there Daily.

Stick him/her on the board under the 'suspects' header.

MazDazzle · 30/07/2017 12:41

HmmmmHashtag is there a shortcut to see only the OP's posts, rather than scrolling through? I'm on an iPhone, if that makes a difference. I've lost hours to this thread/s and can't keep up.

I thought CFN was Cunty Fucking Neighbours!

WhatIsThisWatt · 30/07/2017 12:41

marilyn not too bad! We enjoyed a takeout last night and bacon rolls this morning Grin

If anything, this thread has made me realise how bad my diet is Shock haha!

Right I'm off too see how bad the tape is.

Will report back.
