CFN SpanGran has landed thread #8

[WhatIsThisWatt]

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)

Any update from the OP? Wattttttyyyyy!

Finally caught up ... & by the time I post this, a few dozen more posts will have arrived.

@BreakfastatSquiffanys ... awesome. Jaw dropping fabulous reworking of American Pie, I think it should be the movie theme. Not sung by Madonna please!

Bedtime dahnunder so I look forward to finding out what happens today, tomorrow morning 😊 😴

Well done OP and SpanGran - all 3 of my junior gingers are rooting for you too - I gave them all a potted history of Wattyyy and the CFBs and they're all incensed on your behalf. So frustrating that the wheels of civil justice turn so slowly but this WILL get sorted.

This is where I sat for breakfast.

Interesting about the solicitors letter. Will it be sent recorded delivery?

Sorry @Boosiehs - link fail! 😬

Here's OPs update from 11am
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  she's currently making breakfast, she won't let me cook for her, I'm not sure what it is yet   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!!!

.

Woohoo! I'm back up to real time again after ducking out to check what was crawling in my knickers, couldn't find anything, nothing would likely survive anyway. Then got caught up in dinner prep and finally managed to try and catch up again at bedtime but it seems our wifi in Portugal deliberately goes off/intermittent after midnight so I had to give up. I'm having a late breakfast now, then it's time to pack and go home, so no doubt I'll be way behind on any exciting developments of the day. The translation of welcome to SpanGran was Hilary Hairy Arse!

@WhatIsThisWatt* - I won't be surprised if when I return the next thread will have already started, don't forget my title suggestions! Game of Doors or Better Call Planning! x

Soon be home to see our dogs, esp my lovely box who doesn't like strange men and took a nip at a shopping delivery guys nublies! Luckily the guy said it was probably his fault as he was stressed and grumpy and put himself between me and the door!

Boy not box! He's a blue heeler, see Mad Max 2!

Lots of creative people on these threads posting funny, funny things, but I'd like to award special to Squiffanys for American Steak Pie and to Schadenfreude for Vlad and Vanka.

good morning

please, please, please stop posting pictures of delicious breakfasts first thing every morning!

I am now going to have to go and buy sausages and bacon to cook a fry up tomorrow aren't I?

picture of a piece of toast would do. Stop driving me insane

I'm a teacher.
I have gone into school today to get some stuff done.
I've found that my amazing TA came in last week and did all of it.
I'm sitting here MNing now.

Clearly this is going to run & run.. - (In a good way)

I started to hyperventilate when (briefly) I couldn't find Mablethorpe (thread 6?)

....Dear OP, if you could please try to ensure that all the subsequent threads end #9, #10, #11 etc, we should all be able to find them...TIA querido - Que-es-esto-que (if haven't already guessed, Spanish for What-is-this-what)

Sorry doo I tried to link to the last thread on the last page but couldn't for some reason. I should've really named them all the same thing but I never in a million years thought there would be so many

Do watch out for any indents in your lawn. I reckon the cfb may at this very moment be plotting to dig a tunnel from next door under the patio doors and the new bench, into the far corner of your lawn.
Evidence of this could include bags of 'rubble' left on their doorstep, or builders are wearing exceedingly baggy trousers.
Good job Spangran has that paella dish and hopefully can be relied upon to crack it over any head that may appear from a hole in the lawn...

Hola, hope today is productive & waiting patiently for the Sangria recipe from SpagGran 😊🍷

...And possibly a paella recipe to go with it please?

I picked up my phone and DS goes, "you reading about doors again mama?" Then he offered you his bedroom door Watty . I think he's missed the point

How on earth do people keep up

SpanGran is sitting in the garden under an umbrella. Looking fabulous

I don't know what she's going to do if they don't come back today. Just sit out there forever I suppose.

I feel like a should invite NNDN round for a cuppa, I think he's a bit lonely but I don't want to be wowed I'll see if the situation arises.

BENCH looks great, they could probably knock it over if they pushed the doors hard enough, but it'd likely damage them.

Anyone know how quickly these things take for the planning people? I remember some people saying it could take a while a few threads ago, but can't remember why?

@innagazing I'm picturing in the dead of night a builder emerging from a tunnel in the corner, plant pot on his head, then back down again. A bit like crocodiles do in water

WEIRD NOT WOWED! Although you never know.

rugrat that's too cute!

Inna - I didn't want to appear cheeky & ask for the paella recipe, but yes please!

PS...::a tutorial in Spanish dancing would be a great too 💃🏽
