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.

Morning UK early risers.

I love how RTFT now stands for - read the flippin' Trello.

Another plea for nothing interesting happening between 8 till 2. Ta muchly.

Doublemint · 31/07/2017 06:55

Morning! BrewI'm excitedly awaiting the arrival of SpanGran (TM) with her paella pan et al.

I'm also a little bit mollified that my poncho sit in idea made the photos on that there Trello thing (which I've never heard of before but I am now totally converted).

Let's hope CFNs were away for a weekend of sipping cocktails and laughing at their evil door installing genius, and will be back at casa watty soon, for a bump back to reality!

Who drank all the gin?

Shakey15000 · 31/07/2017 07:05

I nominate Emily Blunt to play Wayyy's super duper pal.

WineAndTiramisu · 31/07/2017 07:09

mummyofmoomoos

May i please suggest that the next thread is called "SpanGran, RomGran and wattyyys MN army V's CFN" ???

DEFINITELY!

toastyarmadillo · 31/07/2017 07:18

wheres the new thread?

CircleofWillis · 31/07/2017 07:19

For the growing cast list can I suggest Zawe Ashton as GLF? I bet she'd be super handy with the duct tape. She is quirky and cool as f##k.

Good morning everyone. I have to go to work and am already panicking about how I am going to keep up with this saga !

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 31/07/2017 07:23

SpanGran, RomGran...how many other nationalities can we enlist?

A global surveillance network of eagle-eyed seniors is bound to track down the CFNs/ CFBs quicksmart.

(I nominate the bracingly forthright Miss Jolly to head it up).

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 31/07/2017 07:27

The population of CheekyFuckerLand has grown so much that CFL is applying to join the EU.
After discussion, the garden stealing, double parking, childcare demanding inhabitants of CheekyFuckerLand have chosen this as their flag.
Possibly with a narrow border of double yellow lines?

Stillonthatbloodycomputer · 31/07/2017 07:29

Think the planning officers should be give something to sing to CFN can I suggest one of our talented puts mind to work on 'LET IT GO'
...never was your garden anyway ....

Does Whatyyy have to go to work today?

Photomummy16 · 31/07/2017 07:33


Take That's 'Julie' - a serenade from Barry to his love.

Julie, what's your problem?
Won't you tell me, what's going on?
Is it cause our kitchen, our kitchen's too dark?
You've been down, down, down too long.

You used to sing sha lalalalala I want a garden, sing, sha lalalalala I do.
There's Watttyy outside, and she's gardening now, for you, for you.

Julie, come to your window.
I'm going to knock it out for you.
It's not a good thing, we need a door.
So come on change change change, come through the door.

You used to sing sha lalalalala I want a garden, sing, sha lalalalala I do.
There's Watttyy outside and she's gardening for you.

Why why why do you cry cry cry?
You should know by now that Wattty's gone to work.

Call the builders, let's begiiiin.
You should know now that the garden is for you, that the flowers grow for you.

You used to sing sha lalalalala I want a garden, sha lalalalala I do.
The planners are outside and they're coming now, for you, for you.
Goodbye Julie sha lalalalala I'll miss you, sing, sha lalalalala I will.
There's police outside and they're taking me to jail, to jail.
Sha lalalalala I miss you, sha lalalalala I do.

Cue expressive dance with heartfelt Barry/Julie moments.

  • audience view a glimmer of humanity in Barry and Julie as, hands outstretched towards one another, they are separated for ever by, ironically, an iron door on stage
ShotsFired · 31/07/2017 07:35

I left this on thread 3 and have been busy all weekend. I could have won the Guinness World Record for speed reading this morning....

So now we wait for Watty to leave at 8 before returning at 9?

Spookle · 31/07/2017 07:36

@ faithinthesound Respect for your A little Respect Star

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 31/07/2017 07:37

Think OP said she has to go out for an hour this morning.

Perhaps the builders will weasel back in quietly, mistakenly assuming she's out working all day, only to be caught on her unexpected return!!!

Stillonthatbloodycomputer · 31/07/2017 07:41

Pleeeeeease, MNHQ can we have some like/ emoji additions, wouldn't take up a lot of space and would mean we didn't have to keep coming in with all these comments and using all these pages and threads. Thanks

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 31/07/2017 07:43

Wonder if NSK Ken is primed and ready outside his store?

And the nice neighbour chap is on lookout duty, I think? Does he work from home, perhaps. Or did I dream that bit?

Oh the drama.

Doesitgoto11 · 31/07/2017 07:53

I think we need some peeps to get really drunk create an interpretive dance to some of the reworded songs and then post it on YouTube Wink or maybe even a bit of Bollywood action!!!

aaaaargghhhhelpme · 31/07/2017 07:54

Sigh. I miss Miss Jolly.
I often find myself wondering - what would miss jolly do...?
Hope all goes well today wattyyyy. Get the planners number on speed dial just incase you spot the cfn!

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 31/07/2017 07:57

Did whattyyy decide to block the door (even partially) to prevent CF builders from entering?

To the tune of "The Brady Bunch Theme Song"

Here's a story
Of a lovely lady
Who was shocked to find some builders at her home
She called Planning
And they soon responded
One day after she phoned

Here's a story
Of some cheeky neighbors
Who was vexed to have no garden of their own
So they broke through
While OP was at work
Despite it being a big no-no

Now the neighbor and shopkeeper are involved
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch
That the neighbor, is a cheeky fecker
That's the way we all became the Mablethorp Bunch!

The Mablethorp Bunch
The Mablethorp Bunch
With SpanGran, and The Friend we became the Mablethorp Bunch!

faithinthesound · 31/07/2017 08:02

Of course I left the bloody E off all the Mablethorpes, rendering my little ditty ERROR RIDDEN

-hangs head in shame, especially after remembering the damn spelling is in the damn poxy thread title-
