CFN SpanGran has landed thread #8

Hi guys! Wow I've just had a chance to come back on and noticed the last thread is full already?!

There also seems to be loads of people saying they're over it and don't believe me. That's fine, I'm not going to get into an argument with anyone. I had no idea that I would get so many responses when I initially asked for advice on this situation, however, they have really cheered me up through what has been a really crappy few days at points. Thanks all.

Sorry if ive pissed people off.

Anyway my Grandma has landed at the airport and should be with me in a couple of hours. It's not even that far away (she likes to take her time) Grin

I'm a long time MN lurker, never really have time to post, but I've had to download the app to keep up with the CFN saga! Whattyyy you're dealing with this like a hero!

chocolateworshipper · 31/07/2017 22:33

I only went away for a long weekend, but it's taking me ages to catch up!

Kezzamo · 31/07/2017 22:41

Maysi says hi! She will eat CFN if you want. If you covered them in peanut butter she'd probably swallow them whole!

She's here! Night all, I'm going to have to go and entertain her, I was going to go go bed post on the thread but no. Not going to happen.

She is very happy and excited to be here. I will post more tomorrow, she's now calling out "these people crazy" 😂 I'm trying to get her to go to bed.

Have a good night whatiswatt im sure spangran will put the world to rights regarding the cfns

SlatternIsTrying · 31/07/2017 22:55

Many many threads ago SlatternDog volunteered his services ('for Watty and country!' was the rally cry).

Slatternkittens are now sulking at being denied the opportunity to intimidate surly builders. So I now offer their services too - ferry booked, on our way.

@Vango "OMG HUNS", Circles's first episode from CFNEnders - now on the Key Content and Further Reading list.

I'm deeply impressed by the steady flow of content - Henry V Prologue and all. We may need to reorganise it a bit to subdivide the lists - will think on it.

@BoffinMum perhaps the OPs Abuela could pop over to Lake Garda and teach them to cook Paella? Or you could go sailing on the Paella Pan :)

Added Ibiza as the latest country.

nonfatnofoamlatte · 31/07/2017 23:03

OMG, Slattern! Those are the cutest kittens! I also nominate my little Colby cat (aka Mr. Snappypants). He's very good spying on the neighbours and could alert Watty if those ratty CFBs make an appearance!

Hope you've had a lovely evening with your abuela, OP. Flowers

Lweji · 31/07/2017 23:05

It's late but it's early for Spain. There may be a while before Abuelita wants to go to bed.

MyOtherProfile · 31/07/2017 23:06

Schaden's translation made me cry with laughter and I haven't had any wine at all!

ItsASunnyDay · 31/07/2017 23:07

Placemarking again!

Leeds2 · 31/07/2017 23:08

I love your gran! I hope she is enjoying her stay in England.

FrenchDucksSayCoinCoin · 31/07/2017 23:12

Small clarifying point if I may, Wattyyy, when SpanGran / Abuela is declaring that these people are crazy, does she mean CFNs or PPs?!
Hope you've had a lovely night with her, much deserved after a craptacular day.

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 23:13

We love you SpanGran! Onwards and upwards @WhatIsThisWatt. My daughter (PandaPawsCutieCuddles) bowvwants her own Abuela, and also to learn how to cook excellent Paella!

ChangelingToday · 31/07/2017 23:13

You can't make this stuff up! Enjoy your time with gran

We now have 38 countries logged as watching the thread INCLUDING MEXICO (where we are assured the house is legit)! But no Korea or Maui yet.

Perhaps all of Maui are busy attending weddings.

Wondering if the planning peeps will attend on site again to catch the CFBs in the act if its criminal damage to a listed building?

justilou1 · 31/07/2017 23:20

Good night @WhatIsThisWatt!!! Enjoy having SpanGran to visit. She's totally right. We are all crazy, albeit in a fabulous way. Enjoy the wine!!!

RiversrunWoodville · 31/07/2017 23:21

Oh fab night night abuela!

Vango · 31/07/2017 23:23

At the risk of setting everyone off again, can we add to the merch the 'soon to be released' Cooking In The Garden With A Spanish Granny, with a forward in Spanish written by Faith, translated into English by Shadenfreude. Featuring artistic shots of listed buildings and assorted garden knick-knackery.
