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.

Fuming for you watty, you've done all the right things, you're not powerless here and they will get theirs', I'm sure if it.Flowers

Shamelessly placemarking! Don't want to miss the ultimate outcome of this thread!

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 12:31

A slight aside, but I just want to say that there is often so much nasty bile on MN and it can seem that we are sometimes all against each other on here. Distressing and stressful though this is for @WhatIsThisWatt, I think this matter has shown what mumsnet can and should be all about.

WoofWoofMooWoof · 31/07/2017 12:31

I think we should upgrade CFB to FF (Fucking fuckers).

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 12:32

@WoofWoofMooWoof
CheekyFuckingFuckers? CFFs

I hope your solicitor has got back to you, and your insurance people too. I can't imagine how much stress you're under, or how unutterably angry you must be.

lborgia · 31/07/2017 12:39

Yep, I'm off too - have been watching Ozark catching up, and need to sound very thick. The guys in the white van, are they actually the neighbours, or the builders you saw on Saturday (or was it Friday, it's all a blur)?

If it's the builders, there must be a Boss, I'm guessing he wasn't there, the others are mere, um, muscle. ?

Love the Fresh Princess, and the G&S (and especially the proximity of them all!), may it continue long after Wattyy has got her garden back.

mumof06darlings · 31/07/2017 12:41

The way I see it is that, they had no regard for you or your property by putting the door there so they are not just going to put it back the correct way. This needs the solicitors and planning people working together and if they as so much as threaten you in any way, then the police need to be involved.

I'm not sure about them watching you but I think that arriving at a site at 9 o clock is pretty standard and maybe they did presume you would be away at work at that time as alot of people are gone at that time so I would try and not worry that they are watching you. It could be just a coincidence.

Chinese woman is Julie, one of the blokes is Barry, her DH. Other bloke is Keith, Barry's bro and Julie's BIL.

jeaux90 · 31/07/2017 12:42

Singing. Miss Jolly was a name given to a fab neighbour on another CFN thread. It was almost as good as this one but not quite as dramatic and impactful to the OP's life as this one.

This one is just Shock and I can't believe Wat didn't lose her shit at the CFN earlier

TheMaddHugger · 31/07/2017 12:42

Will planning be visiting again today?

SnickersWasAHorse · 31/07/2017 12:48

Do all the flats have their own street doors or do you have shared corridors and one street door?

Cuppaoftea · 31/07/2017 12:48

The bench and heavy planters to prevent the opening of the doors is a good idea, a sign saying Private Property too.

Prepare yourself for the long haul now as this is likely to take months. Deal with them through your Solicitor while staying in touch with the Planning Officers.

I very much hope they don't receive retrospective permission for the more expensive doors, keep fighting that every step of the way through legal channels.

I wouldn't be too paranoid about being watched, they likely simply got the idea you were out at work all day during the week. Try and get on with life as normal.

Ken does not need to consider a second career as a private investigator. He misses all the action!

I really feel for you wattyyyy.

MissFitton · 31/07/2017 12:48

If we're upgrading them to Fucking Fuckers then it always has to be said in the voice of Hugh Grant.

May I say the quality of the diagrams on these threads have been exemplary.

TheLittleShirt · 31/07/2017 12:49

I am thinking that this movie is gonna have to be an 18 certificate what with all the fuckery that has been going on, or they will have to bleep out every other word. OP you should have a cameo role, who would you like to be ? so that cast list can be amended.

WoofWoofMooWoof · 31/07/2017 12:50

Yes Ginger - CFF is better Grin. Are we all agreed then? The CFBs and now CFFs.

I still think you should put one of these in front of the doors Watty.

We'll always have Mablethorpe thread #7
justilou1 · 31/07/2017 12:50

I think you need to plant some spicy bougainvilleas. Lovely flowers in stunning colours. They grow fast and would go mad with the heat of summer. The spikes are long and sharp and hurt like a sonofabitch.

redfragglebiker · 31/07/2017 12:51

@watty - I cannot believe the sheer brass balls of the CFN's I'm raging on your behalf here! At least the planning folk seem to have it in hand and haven't fobbed you off. They really do not give a flying fuck about the shit they have caused do they?

When it does eventually get resolved and they are ordered to make it right I think you should hold a party and all of the MN's on this thread shall come over and laugh at them and drink copious amounts of Gin whilst helping with any cleanup they may have missed.

Got your ponchos ready for the Haka girls?

Cedilla · 31/07/2017 12:51

Wattyyy, we inherited a bench a bit like that when we bought our house. Didn't want it, so Dh thought he'd take it out - an easy job.

Hahahahahaha. It was concreted in under ground-level, and turned into a nightmare to remove.

Worth copying? Just a thought.

justilou1 · 31/07/2017 12:53

@redfragglebiker - just give me enough notice to come over from Aus. (I have lots of friends to stay with, and I will bring duty-free bubbles and those giant Toblerones)
