We'll always have Mablethorpe thread #7

[WhatIsThisWatt]

I can't believe we're on 7.

In need to go and catch up on the last couple of pages of 6.

Still no CFN OR ANYONE.

I'm thinking someone will be there tomorrow. HOPEFULLY.

Thread 7!!!!! Christ

Can't clicky link

They better come back!

Been lurking since late Friday night but I have to delurk to congratulate Keira on the marvellous Chiquitita parody, love it!!!

Good luck OP, you're handling this like a trooper*!

*ABBA pun fully intended

Are you at home tomorrow watty? (I guess with impending abuela you will be?)

Time goes so slowly when waiting for CFN's to come home!

Here we go again..! What times Spanish grandma arriving? And what was her acronym again?

I love the dedication of updating the trello site. There's now a 'poignant moments' bit 😂😂

Ah yes! Pp could definitely be onto something there saying the cfn could in fact be the builders! Would make sense!

WhatIsThisWatt, thank you, THANK YOU for continuing to keep us updated. I feel like there ought to be a MN medal of some sort for you.

I've been spending my weekend downloading Shutterstock images of roasted veg and pasting them into shitty PowerPoints, sneaking peeks at this thread every time I finish one set.

Fresh cup of tea here. All set to catch up.

Am singing Steeleye Span now!

And we appear to have posters representing all continents except S America and Antarctica. Once we can tick those off then we only have the International Space Station left.

A gnome CULL might need to happen - otherwise the CFN's could play dressy-up and hide amongst them?

I give you 🎶Gypsy Jazz and the Patio Doors of Broken Dreams.

I walk along the garden of sorrow -
looking at the doors of broken dreams -
Where Barry and Julie and their builders
Can take a sigh with big regret -
and can’t forget their broken dreams.

They laugh today and cry tomorrow -
When they behold their shattered schemes -
And Barry and Julie will wake up to find
their eyes are wet with tears that tell of
broken dreams.

On Mumsnet is where you'll always find
me -
Always scrolling up and down -
But I left my soul behind me
in an old wall broken down

The joy that you find here, you borrow -
You can keep it 7 thread’s long it seems -
But Barry and Julie-
Still sing a song and dance along -
The boulevard of patio door dreams.

I'm sure Tony Bennett would approve.

Arf at 'poignant moments'

They have done a runner

Can someone summarise thread 6 please? I missed it completely. stupid dodgy wifi

I have to go to buy dog food. Wonder what page will be on when I next check in?

Just delurking to applaud the songs!! I've just sung Abba and Steeleye Span to my baffled DH and friend (who are both appalled at your CFN's audacity btw). BRAVO!!

I wonder how long it would take to read all 7 threads from start to finish?

Oh shit! Taxi arriving in a mo to take me to the Heathrow link, en route home to n.c. ,cue for a song... Goin to Carolina in my mind...

Anyway, anyone want to set the ongoing saga to Baker Street blues?
Cos it was said there was no jazz-type parody..

Gonna catchup when I'm 'home' and I've unpacked the cadbury/marmite/typhoo etc. Type shit that constitutes my passport to home.

Bye, and Atb op

If your grandmother doesn't speak English, then let her post in Spanish. I won't be around all day tomorrow but could definitely translate when I am here! Or there may even be others who could?! We know no obstacles to getting information!

Jazz number added - that is quite incredible @Cambergirl , I was singing along to tony bennett on youtube :)

The doors - break on through to the other side

If they never come back I will never get over the disappointment!
