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

Oh my Schaden - you had me literally roaring with laughter. I had to clean my glasses because my laughter tears were splattering everywhere!

I'm excited that my suggested picture of a garden bench with a trellis type roof has made it onto Trello.

Super Gran, Super Gran swings her Super Piella Pan.
The CFNs have no chance as they're force fed Spanish rice.

Ok I know it doesn't rhyme but at least I did try Sad

Lweji,

Damn right she will be.

laughing girl and the felines says they will hep too

justilou1 · 01/08/2017 02:10

@SchadenfreudePersonified - While your Spanish is truly magnificent (I assume), it was Vlad and Vanka that had me laughing so much I woke the dog. Have you ever seen a dog raise her eyebrow like a teenage girl being told that she's not allowed to go off Carte Blanche in Sephora? That's the look I received. Saluting you from the other side of the ditch in Melbourne! Saluté!!!

TheMaddHugger · 01/08/2017 02:22

@justilou1

My grumpy Princess does that eyebrow thingy. I sooooooooo want to paint her eyebrows white for the hilarity factor. DH won't let me

justilou1 · 01/08/2017 02:52

@TheMaddHugger - I'm pretty sure I would lose an arm if I tried that. (Has recently had ear drops and was NOT a fan!)

TheMaddHugger · 01/08/2017 02:54

Oooh yeh, they don't like their ears messed with

@TheMaddHugger - not quite as bad as having her temp taken, but I must say that I don't blame her there...

justilou1 · 01/08/2017 03:17

My big, scary monster was most put out when I was laughing at @SchadenfreudePersonified's Vlad and Vanka. You could borrow her for guard duty but my feet would get cold.

Ok, I don't have time or the inclination to read all the threads, I read at the beginning, something about cheeky neighbor putting in French doors that backed onto OPs private garden.

Can someone pretty please PM me and breakdown the rest so I'm up to speed? These threads are a bugger to read on my phone!!

TIA!!

CloneClubSestra · 01/08/2017 03:35

Wine ¡Hola! SpanGran! Will you please adopt me this nest of vipers?

C8 that Trello is bewdiful and in my four years of using it I have never loved a board more!

Feeling wistful that some MNers aren't here for this thread but I'm sure they are chuckling from their post-mortal spaces. Gin

I've been here 17 years too long and rarely post and never for epic parking-style threads but the creative posters deserve a round of applause for keeping us lurkers smiling! Grin

Can't believe I have read the equivalent of two novels so far! Viva the trilogy!

DevilsDumplings · 01/08/2017 04:41

'Mad' my waistline is expanding by osmosis by just drooling over all the pictures of goodies you're posting.

I feel I've been programmed by Watt as I've just woken up, came straight to this thread!

Now I want a cup of tea and toast Grin.

Two patio door patrol guards reporting for the morning shift.
Unfortunately they can only patrol inside the doors but they are pretty good at alerting us to any spiders or flys outside so CFNs/CFBs should prove no problem for these two.

Dear Mumsnet,

AIBU to worry that today's clothing choice, in honour of AbuelaSpanGran's safe arrival, may not be deemed "appropriate work attire"?

I'm sure a lot of you have seen the you tube President Trump wall building parody. But in case you haven't. It's very funny. Although not entirely applicable in this context. I like the bit about it costing a lot of money though......
