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

Is that a tattie scone ON TOP of the egg yolk?

teediebellsmum · 01/08/2017 09:58

Am gutted, I have a migraine today so can't catch up on the thread. Think squinting at a screen all weekend has taken it's toll. Already twitching to catch up. May be heavily over invested.

@CloneClubSestra - team effort, fancy joining the editing team??

Have added a Gin based zombie cocktail to the recipe section Gin for toasting members current and passim at the partay.

I have been trying to figure out the Mabelthorpe reference for a couple of threads....

Can anyone PM me the details?
I promise to skim less!!

C8H10N4O2 · 01/08/2017 10:05

Bit constrained timewise today but team will doubtless add updates to board and esp the Codex. Will have a catch up this evening though, if not before.

Hoping OP gets some good news today regarding CFB activities and SpanGran is cooking that paella.

Love to SpanGran from the crazy people

prettybird · 01/08/2017 10:06

The rectangle is a square sausage - a thing of great beauty Wink aka a Lorne sausage . The "grey thing" will either be a slice of haggis or a white pudding.

After having vowed always to read and never comment on MN I just have to say I think you're all wonderful. Makes such a change from all general nastiness I see on the internet. Can't wait to see how this all works out. With you all the way Watty!

TheMaddHugger · 01/08/2017 10:12

Can't wait to hear the adventure of spangran and the cfbs!

HSMMaCM · 01/08/2017 10:29

Span Gran is going to tell OP to get off tinternet and drink wine and TALK to people. OP can send her round to Ken or the nice neighbour and give us a quick update while she's out.

shockthemonkey · 01/08/2017 10:30

Paris is behind you, Watty.

Here is Danaerys Stormborn Targaryen reporting for duty. Lives up to her name in every way. She can't stand CFNs or anyone who won't bend the knee.

wat I think the idea of contacting your MP that someone else suggested is a really good one, what's to lose?

Mix56 · 01/08/2017 10:53

sadly, life is intervening with anything other than looking ouf for Whatty's posts, every time I come back there are hours of more reading ......

InferiorDecorator · 01/08/2017 10:54

Checking in from the lovely Belgian town of Bruges. DBIL, DH & DS have gone up the belfry tower and I've taken the chance to scroll through the last few threads... and killed my battery Confused Smile

NorthCoast · 01/08/2017 10:57

Depending on whether the OP's washing line is at the correct angle to the sun, this might be one way of getting the message across...? What configuration of clothes would be needed to spell out PRIVATE GARDEN though??

WhatIsThisWatt · 01/08/2017 11:00

Morning everyone! Some good suggestions, I hadn't thought of contacting my MP, I'll have a look into that.

SpanGran waves to all of you, she is liking the threads and mostly the pictures referring to her Grin she's currently making breakfast, she won't let me cook for her, I'm not sure what it is yet Confused Grin she's also popping out back every 2 seconds to "check"

I'm going to try and get her to make some sangria if she'll let me go shopping for the ingredients - will post pics!

No sign of CFN today, to her utter dismay. I now have a very strongly worded solicitors letter as well. So good news, things seem to be the ok at the moment, I just want rid of that bloody door!!!

Yay I've finally caught up!! Awesome thread, I've been trying to post but it fills up so damn fast!
May I suggest some police 'Crime scene - do not cross' tape across the offending doors. Should shit 'em right up 😆
