My children are too old for a bouncy castle now and I'm nowhere near Devon but I can bring my picnic blanket and a couple of camping chairs.

I actually dreamt last night that some strangers were in my garden and claiming it was theirs - got to stop reading these threads before bed Grin

Hope they get their just desserts in the end OP (and they stay out of your garden!!)

flowersonthepiano · 29/07/2017 20:57

Yay! Senora What Granny is en route! I am in the north ...but have relatives darn sarf I could stay with and a very noisy 8 year old (who has equally noisy cousins)...Grin

Ohhh I cannot wait to see what Spanish grandma does! Wouldn't want to be CFN right now / Monday afternoon!

Ensure the arse of the Spider-Man is facing right at the doors, so it's effectively doing a shit on their illegal doorstep. And make sure the noisy-as-fuck generator sits right abutting their exterior wall, sending days of vibrations and noise through their foundations.

And... tell me if I can come and bring my mad-head 6 and 3 year-olds, a wine box and a lots of grist to your mill. Cornwall? Devon? Pleeeeease let me come!

You need a laminator, Wattyyy (OK, I am a Guide leader and, now, a parent but I think every household should have one).

Have a v early v long flight followed by uncertain access to internet. Hope this thread is still open when I arrive though I doubt it.

WoofWoofMooWoof · 29/07/2017 21:01

After the bouncy castle is picked up, perhaps erect a gazebo with drop down sides. Conveniently located right in front of the doors Grin.

SnickersWasAHorse · 29/07/2017 21:02

Found you. Although while I was looking I found this current CFN thread that you all might enjoy. The update from the op is a peach

Granny is coming! Yay! paella for everyone!

Brenna24 · 29/07/2017 21:02

I am starting to think these people may actually be mad! Can you organise for friends to be in your house when you are out at work, so that someone is always there to go out and stop them coming into your garden? I'd do it in a heartbeat for any of my friends (although I am in the north east of scotland, so a bit far to help you out).

WoofWoofMooWoof · 29/07/2017 21:03

So glad to hear Spanish Grandma (SDG?) is coming over. She can sit in the garden all day (under the gazebo for shade) and keep watch.

Lostinaseaofbubbles · 29/07/2017 21:03

Loving that the bouncy castle will still be there when granny arrives. So you reckon she'll be up for a bounce?

AnathemaPulsifer · 29/07/2017 21:04

Have you got legal cover on your home insurance? I think should cover legal fees but you might need to use their solicitor.

Scarpetta1982 · 29/07/2017 21:04

You definitely need EKL to keep SDG company snicker

MadamePomfrey · 29/07/2017 21:05

@WhatIsThisWhatt. This is very important.... dare I say vital information.... which bouncy castle did you pick??? And will they let you write fuck off in the back??

Gramgram · 29/07/2017 21:05

This thread is so much better than TV. Flowers for Spanish grandma.

BoneyBackJefferson · 29/07/2017 21:05

This may work

SoPassRemarkable · 29/07/2017 21:06

When CFN do turn up you need to borrow some kids and a football and get them to repeatedly kick the ball against the patio doors.

Thud, thud, thud, thud for hours on end. They will be bricking it back up by evening!

Watt you are 100% sure that it is your garden and yours alone? I know they didn't have access before but I'm just worrying they will have deeds that say they were always allowed to plop out the window?

picklemepopcorn · 29/07/2017 21:07

I cannot believe we are on thread 6!
