I'm feeling a but guilty for suggesting OP gives NSK her number to update her about any activity. Turns out Ken/Raj isnt very good as a look out man and somehow a new set of patio doors have been delivered but he didn't see anything. I'll keep my good ideas to myself in future. Sorry OP.

ItchyFoot · 29/07/2017 21:08

I have my whole family waiting for an outcome! They mainly want to know wtf they thought they were going to do in your garden mixed with a fairly big horror that they've ruined a lovely building.

DumbledoresApprentice · 29/07/2017 21:08

The bouncy castle is the most genius thing ever! I'm totally impressed, OP. 🏰

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 29/07/2017 21:08

WRT to the new.doors, perhaps the CFNs think if they install nice wooden doors I stead of cheap shitty white upvc one the planning department will overlook their transgressions?

mokaerisifhija · 29/07/2017 21:09

Stylish!

TesticleMeElmo · 29/07/2017 21:09

Ah thank god I found thread 6!! I've actually downloaded the app for this, I'm FAR too invested in what's going on...

HamptonWick1974 · 29/07/2017 21:09

BoneyBack That was hilarious!

Thread 6 already Shock

Good Spanish grandma can hold the fort if you have to go out
I would have written in lipstick on their door,
^Keep the fuck your fag ends in your own property, this is private, the garden is not communal, & the planners are about to take you to the cleaners,
Idiots^

I'm in Devon! I love a good bouncy castle Smile I could bring my neighbour with her nearly 4 year-old trampoline loving daughter?

Also I'm quite technically minded, and will volunteer to help you set up surveillance of the garden. AND I can make the most awesome low carb dark chocolate brownies Smile Am I in? Pleeeeaaase

BoneyBackJefferson · 29/07/2017 21:12

Just so people know the text (previous link) was provided by another poster, So much thanks goes to them.

kevstep · 29/07/2017 21:13

sudden departure of previous thread had a newbie like me somewhat of a lost dog without a bone! Like a break of romance without a closure! Shock

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/07/2017 21:13

Granny is coming! Yay! paella for everyone!

Can I have chips with mine --I promise to eat them out of newspaper, scrunch it up and post it through CFNs letterbox

SauvignonBlanche · 29/07/2017 21:13

I'm finding it hard to keep up, RL keeps interrupting!

Doggoslothlady · 29/07/2017 21:14

Sorry placemarking. Won't let me watch 😩

scootinFun · 29/07/2017 21:14

Bouncy castle sounds great!

redfragglebiker · 29/07/2017 21:15

I seriously can't believe we're on thread 6! When I read the update about the fag ends and different doors I was apoplectic on your behalf OP. Now I'm intrigued as to what SDG will bring to it all. Cheering you on from Yorkshire and ridiculously invested in the outcome.

Engol · 29/07/2017 21:15

How can you get a bouncy castle in the garden, will it have to go through your house?

C8H10N4O2 · 29/07/2017 21:15

@BoneyBackJefferson

Fantastic - have added it to the link list :-)

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/07/2017 21:16

Boney

That is amazing!

Kudos!

8misskitty8 · 29/07/2017 21:16

I few have asked this but when we're your doors put in op ? Do you have any sort of documents pertaining to them ?
Just wondering if CFN will try to use you having doors as an excuse for getting some too especially if these new ones look a bit like yours.

CaveMum · 29/07/2017 21:19

Placemarking. Hurrah for Spanish Granny's arrival next week, CFN/CFB won't know what's hit them - perhaps literally!

Hygge · 29/07/2017 21:20

OP this has probably already been suggested but did you take more photo's of the evidence that they had been back out into your garden today?

I think you said there were cigarette butts in the garden today that hadn't been there before.

I think you might need to keep any proof of them / someone else working for them being in your garden without permission every single time it happens to add to your case.

You shouldn't have to, but the more evidence you have the better if push comes to shove.

cardibach · 29/07/2017 21:20

Phew just caught up. I'm away for the weekend so have to keep going and doing sociable things with old friends. CFNs are going from CFstregth to CFstrengeth, aren't they?
