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.

I think they're developers. That's why they've not returned.

Imer: I'm so annoyed that we've all sat here waiting for cfn and they haven't shown up yet- how rude of them to keep us waiting 😂*

They have shown themselves to be remarkably rude in more ways than one!! I need them to come home so that I can get on with my holiday!!!

OP I have been staring at every potentially listed building I have passed in the Exeter area today, looking out for a bouncy castle !

Beware the Express and Echo don't get hold of this before the Daily Fail. It would be the biggest story they've had in years Grin

Added Dude's lyrical lovesong for Mablethorpe and Shakey's stirring speech for the Battle of the Private Garden to the board.

Have also split out musical numbers from prose and poetry because of the sheer number of entries!

PovertyPain · 30/07/2017 16:10

FFS, OP, I put of walking the dog and now there's thunder and rain! Stop starting new threads or I'll get feck all done. rocks back and forth while hitting refresh

Magratmakethetea · 30/07/2017 16:14

Peekaboo.
Sorry phone doesn't like place marking as a word, (see yesterday's post), so....
Hurry up CFN's!
Cannot go to work tomorrow and not know the outcome! How rude of them to leave us all in suspense like this.

Thank the lord for #7 or I'd never have found this thread!!

fruitlovingmonkey · 30/07/2017 16:17

If they were buying to let, why would they have chosen the bizarre colour scheme? It doesn't add up.
I believe they are planning to live there and were hoping to take over the garden before the new neighbour noticed.

guinnessgirl · 30/07/2017 16:17

I can hardly believe we're up to thread 7 already, and the protagonists still haven't made an appearance! I'm torn between hoping that they are just eejits, as that's more understandable, and hoping that they're genuine cheeky fuckers, as that's more entertaining. For your sake OP, I hope they're just eejits, as cheeky fuckers are likely to give you more of a headache Flowers

Vango · 30/07/2017 16:18

Again, just chipping through the listed bricks of Thread 6 and knocking an appropriately sized hole to take up residence in the OP's garden

Go out to get crittur food and y'all crack onto a new thread.

Bouncy castle status?

gingergenius · 30/07/2017 16:21

Blimey I've been working for the past two days and now we're on thread 7 and STILL NO sign of CFN????

IggyAce · 30/07/2017 16:23

Just wondering if OP lives in or close to a tourist hot spot and the buyers plan on using it as a holiday home or holiday let. Hence access to garden so they can charge more per night/week. Might explain why no one has seen CFN.

Rugratwrangler · 30/07/2017 16:24

Been updating DP on this thread. He told me I need a hobby..

MipMipMip · 30/07/2017 16:29

Theddlethorpe is great isn't it SexLube. Although MipHound dislikes the sea and it always bloody freezing with that wind. But a great place with the ultimate windy road to get there

Mablethorpe is also ace. Especially the little train and the fantastically cheap cinema!

Mooey89 · 30/07/2017 16:40

Come on CfN - I'm bored of parenting now

tink86 · 30/07/2017 16:41

Sorry if it's already been asked but have you ever seen your neighbours??

ChuffCloud · 30/07/2017 16:42

Marking mah place... surely they'll be back soon...

thenightsky · 30/07/2017 16:43

If they really are developers, then they must have experience of listed buildings, rules, regs, etc. Confused

Unless (and this is my theory) they think they will get away with it because the tacky doors cannot be seen from the street and are hidden from public view. God knows why they thought OP would overlook them though is anyone's guess.
