There must be a way we can find out who the CFN's are and WHERE they are surely?????
I have sat at this darn computer for days and I'm scared to log off in case I never catch up.....

Polter · 29/07/2017 21:35

OohDammit · 29/07/2017 21:36

Bloody hell it took a long time to catch up with all of that but well worth it!

A friend of mine had a CFN (nowhere near as cheeky a fucker as yours OP) but she was a 22 year old Chinese student who's parents had bought her the flat to live in while she studied in London. She did all sorts as she had no clue, and genuinely thought she could do whatever she wanted. My friend kicked up a stink (they had share of freehold), it got back to her parents and CFN's mum flew out and apologised and made good the mess she had made.

My guess is your CFN is from overseas and an utter fool a bit clueless.

BTW is there a prize for correctly guessing the most of the CFN? We should start a pool!

OohDammit · 29/07/2017 21:37

Most?? Arghh, MO

kevstep · 29/07/2017 21:37

please have future threads be headed a wee bit more clear and in advance rather than ref to eg a bouncy castle? gave my heart a bit of a dodgy beat when I saw and end to previous but ...

sarebear1983 · 29/07/2017 21:38

For the first time ever I've had to have a 2 mumsnet tabs open! Been hooked from the beginning, I've just caught up after being out all day, and I'm chuffed that there are songs I can greet the OH with when he gets in from the pub 😀

iMatter · 29/07/2017 21:38

We have a bouncy castle so let me know if I can help. We are near-ish the south coast. It takes 5 mins max to inflate.

Scarpetta1982 · 29/07/2017 21:38

Was there any joy on the search on Land registry?
A search on a well known social media site to see, if Indeed Barry and his missus have posted pictures of them blissfully unaware in Maui Grin

faithinthesound · 29/07/2017 21:38

Are we going to invite Ken for a bounce? Seems only fair since he's been on recon duty for most of yesterday!

Halle71 · 29/07/2017 21:38

A dog.
Can you hire big, snarling guard dogs?
Or can anyone lend one to OP?

Supermagicsmile · 29/07/2017 21:38

Keep the updates coming op! :)

Halle71 · 29/07/2017 21:40

Oh, and of course they would know it is listed, as it would come up in the searches.

Scarpetta1982 · 29/07/2017 21:40

Halle I have a super licky Bichon frise? Any good?

ILoveMyMonkey · 29/07/2017 21:42

Just learnt how to bookmark, that'll make keeping up easier Grin

bluediamonds · 29/07/2017 21:43

OK, so anyone else not get the Parklife reference? Could someone elaborate?

Lynnm63 · 29/07/2017 21:43

Can someone please explain the PARKLIFE reference for me.....please I've asked nicely. I have a very large dog I can lend you Grin

Jux · 29/07/2017 21:43

I'm near Exeter too, but I have no 5 year old Sad. I have access to one though, and he'll provide access to many many others......

I reckon that CFN have another window which opens onto one of the other gardens and they're going to do the same again.

kevstep · 29/07/2017 21:46

Can I watch the Darts now please? Bit of light relief!

drowninginpinkplastic · 29/07/2017 21:47

Phew up to date. Thanks OP a brilliant thread.

Wonders71 · 29/07/2017 21:48

Ffs lost the thread! What have I missed have CFN returned?

ItsASunnyDay · 29/07/2017 21:50

Just placemarking here (sorry) Grin

fruitlovingmonkey · 29/07/2017 21:50

I can't wait for Spanish grandma to arrive! I'm picturing a wonderful friendship between her and Ken/Raj.

WineAndTiramisu · 29/07/2017 21:50

Wow, I go to sleep after nights and we've hit thread 6! Glad grandma is on her way with the paella pan... Odd update about the new doors, maybe they're going to put another hole in the wall for them?!

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 29/07/2017 21:51

OP,

Spanish Grandma surely needs outdoor space for her paella-cooking...

Might she choose the very nearest spot to CFNs' doors?

Thus, delicious food and barricade in one go Grin

Just caught up. I cannot believe they've been back in your garden!

I'm north Devon, about half an hour south of Exeter if you need more bodies! Two DS and am in desperate need of a Spanish grandmother 😁
