Haha you are all amazing! I don't know how I'd have got through this otherwise.

Friend from last night Ken/ Raj's new interest is drumming up fellow normal people who may or may not happen to have really loud 5yos who would want to bounce on a bouncy castle which may or may not be in my garden till Tuesday when it gets picked up

Am a southerly owner of preschoolers who enjoy bouncing if I can be of assistance (suspect I may not be southerly enough but worth mentioning)

LakieLady · 29/07/2017 20:47

User148etc: it could be like Greenham Common all over again!

bluediamonds · 29/07/2017 20:49

A folder would be required in Classics for all these threads.... Grin

Lostinaseaofbubbles · 29/07/2017 20:49

How many people are out there reading this who are praying that someone texts tonight and invites them and their kids to an impromptu bouncy castle party tomorrow??

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 29/07/2017 20:49

Hello OP, hello everyone.
So relieved to find this new thread! Panicked when I got to the end of the last one and no link!

OP is your grandma en route yet? Xx

JaneEyre70 · 29/07/2017 20:49

They've obviously had the builder back today OP, and have no intention of stopping what they've started. Cheeky feckers. I think I'd go for several industrial strength cable ties around the door handles. At least that way they can't access your garden to carry on.

Blatantly place marking this time since I've had a couple of WineWine and just can't keep up 😂

Just a thought, If you know which Estate Agents dealt with the sale of the CFN flat, they would be able to tell you, or the Planning Lady the name of the people that bought it and probably their previous address and/or the name and address of the Solicitors who dealt with their purchase. It might come in useful if they are going to ignore notices left at the property, especially if it's company that bought it.

WhatIsThisWatt · 29/07/2017 20:52

Oh goodness thanks singing I totally forgot to update you all that Spanish lovely amazing Grandma is arriving on Monday afternoon. She's going to love this, she might not understand the concept of a "thread" but I'll do my best to explain.

Yesbutnobutmaybe · 29/07/2017 20:52

I just really can't wait to hea what the cfn have to say, will they fight? Will they retreat quietly and have the building fixed?

This Grin, just this Grin I'm rolling and getting stitches!

KitKat1985 · 29/07/2017 20:53

Oh PLEASE send Spanish grandma straight round to CFNs as soon as she arrives on Monday and let us know what happens.

Fitzsimmons · 29/07/2017 20:53

Shameless placemark Grin

aaaaargghhhhelpme · 29/07/2017 20:54

pleeeeeeaase tell me you have cable ties?
Perhaps nsk has some in stock?

Doesitgoto11 · 29/07/2017 20:54

@KitKat1985 - with her paella pan obviously 😂

LakieLady · 29/07/2017 20:54

If you go on Zoopla, on the bit where you look up sold prices, you can often look at the estate agents property details from when it was sold.

It would be interesting to see if they have any mention of listed building or conservation area status, and to check that they made no mention of a garden.

Rossigigi · 29/07/2017 20:55

So are they in next door now? Afraid may have lost something in the threads....

Slimthistime · 29/07/2017 20:56

C8 don't worry about the post, I think just PARKLIFE! somewhere in there will be funny Grin

Lj8893 · 29/07/2017 20:56

Another one in the south with a dd who would be delighted to participate in a bouncy castle themed piss of CFN session!

Gemini69 · 29/07/2017 20:56

shamelessly placemarking... I confirm I am emotionally attached to this case Grin x
