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.

Are they still there??

kevstep · 31/07/2017 11:15

Might be an idea to take reg numbers of the vans? And maybe sneak a few pics of them if you can do it without compromising yourself?

mothertruck3r · 31/07/2017 11:16

So the builder is the new neighbour? I'm confused.

SticksOutLikeDogsBalls · 31/07/2017 11:16

Ok, CFN has been upgraded from cheeky to cunty! (This was not a blatant place mark)

Shezza71 · 31/07/2017 11:17

Just wow!! Finally up to speed on all 7 threads thanks to my boss going out for the day and the kids sleeping.
Enough songs have been written to release an album upon which a musical can be based and a Christmas #1 to rival The X factor, or maybe the X factor winner could sing the CFN Christmas song!?
Now I'm up to date I can read the EKL thread and see if there are any parking wars update. Does anyone have the link to the Maui Bridezilla thread?

I meant pics of the CFNs not the vans Wink

Lunde · 31/07/2017 11:18

Do you think CFNs are living somewhere else nearby during the "renovations" where they can see your flat? They seem to have a knack of knowing when you have gone out!

Paddingtonsmarmaladesandwiches · 31/07/2017 11:19

Oh no Whattyy. I know planning are dealing as a top priority but as a solicitor myself (not in this specialism) can I suggest you chase up your own lawyer. Planning can only do so much and I think a lawyer could really help with what your options are to stop garden access etc. Good luck, I know this thread is awesome for us following and we admire you but it must be super stressful. Take care.

WhatIsThisWatt · 31/07/2017 11:20

mother they wouldn't tell me! Although I'm guessing the builders must be the owners or why would they risk it??? Unless they are severely lacking in brain cells which let's face it, wouldn't be entirely surprising.

They must have left when I was on the phone, if they are the owners then they'll have to come back.

I'm not sure if they left AGAIN because of me or if they were actually finished doubt it

Although good point up thread, if the planning people already know who they are then i won't need reg numbers.

Watt you are a legend. Well done for being brave.

Shameless lurker here, i have watched this thread avidly, but my heart is now racing in empathy with you, i am so angry on your behalf.

From what you have said you have done absolutely everything right, the only thing i would be doing now is placing something heavy and substantial in front of the offending doors, blocking access to your garden. Maybe a trellis planter filled with stones at the bottom and then planted with flowers giving you something nice to look at, then if they do touch it you will know.

lunde that's what I was worried about, that they might be watching me from somewhere. Confused

OMG. They definitely know. CFN!!!or CFB!!
I hate confrontation with anyone, so well done so far.
I'm so sorry you are going through this.

kevstep · 31/07/2017 11:23

Shezza71, what is an EKL thread, please? I'm new to all this stuff!

Ladymadness · 31/07/2017 11:23

I bet CFN/CFB are shitting pebbles now knowing they are fucked Grin

Beverley71 · 31/07/2017 11:24

Do we think the CFN are builders that bought the property to do up and sell, thinking they could just sneak a door in under the radar. Or are they just the builders and CFN have not actually been seen at all yet?

So are CFB and CFN one and the same?

MadamePomfrey · 31/07/2017 11:24

Yeah if builders are owners you don't need pics of them or the vans and planning are aware who they are don't put yourself at risk pics it will make them angry!

If it turns out owners and builders are different surely planning can find out who they are! From all the sale documents so they will get their just deserts!

Buffy81 · 31/07/2017 11:24

Wow! Have been reading this all weekend and never had a chance to post! The threads are just to quick and filling up to quick, even this one has had pages added to it as I have been ready it! It has been entertaining to read, but it must be very frustrating for the OP to have to go through it all and from what I have read, its not going to be a quick fix.

As long as OP goes through all the proper channels talking to the correct people re planning/building/legal they they wont have a leg to stand on.

Looking forward to the Spanish granny arriving. What time is she meant to get here?

Sistersofmercy101 · 31/07/2017 11:25

So these THEIVES, these CRIMINAL TRESPASSERS think that if they just 'carry on regardless " that the planners and land registry and the courts will say "oh well nevermind, what's done is done, you can keep the doors and have a shared garden"?! F the hell off!! Absolutely raging on your behalf!! How DARE they?! Angry

frecklesmcspeckles · 31/07/2017 11:25

@whatisthiswhat given how high profile this thread became over the weekend is it possible that someone showed them it/they saw it and then knew when you'd be out this morning??!!

Bellasmummy1980 · 31/07/2017 11:25

I think Watty may need something stronger than a coffee after that last episode Wine
I would be shaking with pure anger and frustration Angry

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 31/07/2017 11:26

Just catching up op and can't believe how they reacted toward you. Their behaviour is strange and incredibly suspicious.
They know how much trouble they are in and I'm sorry to say it but I genuinely suspect they have been keeping an eye out to see when you leave the building.
