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.

Delurking just to say WhatTheWatt needs to start her own thread , user. Many of us skim read long threads by reading just the OPs posts, which are highlighted.

Rossigigi · 31/07/2017 16:27

Please don't anyone start new threads on behalf of the OP she needs to start herself so we can read her posts. Doh!!!!

Lynnm63 is right re restoration by hew owner or next owner in the event it's sold as is. Planning will pursue whoever owns it at the time. We were only allowed to keep the conservatory as it is because it had been done over 25 years ago (we bought Grade 2 house where back of it had had conservatory added without permission which apparently would not have been given. Can't be seen from anywhere so Planning weren't aware of it, until we brought them in for something else.)

Has this been done yet? - "I need want a little time garden"...

(CFN)
I see a little garden
Outside my window
I want a little space
To call my own
Some patio doors
Will bring me freedom
I need a little...

(OP)
You've trampled all over my flowerbeds!
Haven't you, haven't you?
Next thing I know you'll put in a shed!
Fuck you, fuck you!
Your patio doors will turn to rust!
Like the listed bricks you turned to dust
(Very expensive dust)

(CFN)
I've got a little garden
I stole myself
The door's a little stuck
I can't get out!
I'm a little scared
But I don't care
I'll build a little...

(MN in stadium chorus)
Funny how quick the milk turns sour?
Isn't it, isn't it
OP is updating us hour by hour!
Isn't she, isn't she
We've Ken and SpanGran on our side
You can Bodgitt and Scarper but you can't hide!
(With MN along for the ride...)

(CFN)
I've had a little time
To think it over
Now I've heard from the planners
And I know it's wrong
I've had a little time
But I'll brazen it out
I've had a little...

(MN)
You had a little time
And you had a little fun
Didn't you, didn't you?
While you had yours
Do you think we had none?
Do you, do you?
The freedom that you wanted bad
Will never be yours
We're all so glad!
Cheek into meek!

We've had a little time
To talk it over
We've written a movie
And many songs!
And now we await
The call of Justice!
We've had a little fun... (repeat to fade)

Op, just start your own thread 8 and then we can follow that one instead. I don't know why anyone else would see the need to butt in - the OP is more than capable of starting her own threads as has been clearly demonstrated with the past 7 threads. I also skim through the threads looking for the OP's posts.

fridayrain · 31/07/2017 16:32

I would do a fake 'leaving the house' either by car or on foot, whatever it is u do and then circle back home and park up ready for a covert op.

Jg1 · 31/07/2017 16:36

I do think user0816 was only trying to be helpful, and maybe panicking a little bit Grin Cut her some slack Smile

diddl · 31/07/2017 16:37

" I also skim through the threads looking for the OP's posts."

Me too.

There's only been about half a dozen or so on this thread I think-the hours I've savedGrin

Hopefully Op is keeping an eye on it & can see that it's getting full.

123bananas · 31/07/2017 16:41

OP is probably collecting SpanGran and her pan so hasn't had a chance to post her own yet.

notreallythere · 31/07/2017 16:42

I only skim read too. I'm sure some of you are dedicated enough to read all the songs etc. but not me sadly Grin We need the highlighting!

mumdebump · 31/07/2017 16:44

You can always search by username to find new threads by Watty if the thread fills up before she's had time to link to a new one. No hope of finding it if it's been started by a different user.

SpareChangeDownTheSofa · 31/07/2017 16:46

SpanGran will be guarding the bench barricade with her paella pan Grin

Sistersofmercy101 · 31/07/2017 16:46

I want to say to everyone skimming, for just the op's posts... You're missing out on sooooo much! I've loved the wonderful camaderie that has United in support of what (op) and I too await the hand of justice intervening on poor op's behalf and slapping the CFNs upside the head (so to speak)... C'mon planning dept, kick their entitled criminal butts!!!! 😀

JustDontGetItAtAll · 31/07/2017 16:47

What does 'Mablethorpe' have to do with this thread or the subject at hand? Been meaning to ask x

mumdebump · 31/07/2017 16:55

I still have a couple of concerns

  1. Have CFBs put in an adequate lintel to support the wall above? (an arched window wouldn't have one because the arch would be self-supporting )
  2. How did newdaddie's self-nomination of Idris Elba to play him in the movie sneak past the Mumsnet casting panel? Idris is surely too good to play him. I'm thinking Tom Chambers would be good at playing an irritating mansplainer.
FluffyWhiteTowels · 31/07/2017 16:55

Living beautiful south song

Yes those who are skimming are missing out on so much MN genius at its best

2kids3catsandaman · 31/07/2017 16:58

Hello from Dublin! Been stuck to this all weekend and loving it.

Just a suggestion for a nice garden statue for in front of those patio doors. ;)

We'll always have Mablethorpe thread #7
ChinkChink · 31/07/2017 16:58

Nomination:

Defenestration of CFN. Now with added paella.

diddl · 31/07/2017 17:01

"I want to say to everyone skimming, for just the op's posts... You're missing out on sooooo much! "

No, I'm not.

I want to know what is happening-I'm not interested in songs!

I didn't originally skim-but threads like this that that are just posters chatting & little fro the Op don't interest me.

humblesims · 31/07/2017 17:02

JustDontGetItAtAll · 31/07/2017 17:04

I agree Diddl

StormTreader · 31/07/2017 17:05

Me too, all the swathes of songs and poetry - scroll, scroll, scroll :D

C8H10N4O2 · 31/07/2017 17:05

Idris is surely too good to play him. I'm thinking Tom Chambers would be good at playing an irritating mansplainer.

Personally I was thinking Andy Serkis in Gollum outfit explaining about the Precious.

Will add new songs and pictures to the board later when I get to my billet for the night. Someone please PM me new thread link if we overrun the end and I'll add that to board as well.
Ta!

Whatever you do DON'T BLINK
