CFN SpanGran has landed thread #8

999 replies

WhatIsThisWatt · 31/07/2017 17:43

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

@wattyyy
Oh my! I've just spent the best part of the past few days on holiday at our villa in Portugal reading/skimming/reading/skimming through all these threads and I've finally caught up to real time! I'm relatively new to mn and this has been one of the best holiday reads ever and it's not over yet!

My suggestions for a thread titles would be 'The Doors Plight Sagas #..' or 'Breaking Walls' 'Game of Doors' 'Better Call Planning'

My suggestion for security camera, although a little pricey may be a good investment for the duration of this situation is an Arlo, works from
Your wifi, the cameras work at night too and are magnetic, you can access them remotely on an app and also receive alerts when they are triggered so you can watch real time or they record for up to a couple of minutes and can be downloaded or on the system to view later for a week

schaden Grin and jedi thanks! I'll ask her haha!

allthegin yes i will ask for her sangria recipe! She won't be on tea I'm afraid though, she's already asked me what kind of wine I've got in. Love her! Grin

I don't keep wine in the house because I would just drink it

There also seems to be loads of people saying they're over it and don't believe me. Where, What?

I've just read over thread 7 again and couldn't find one!? There's a few people towards the end, including me, saying they've started skimming, but that's not because we don't believe you. I couldn't see one person saying they didn't believe you. No negative posts either or as someone else says upthread "jealous posters".

EyeRollChampion · 31/07/2017 18:13

Sorry, x posted!

WhatIsThisWatt · 31/07/2017 18:16

molly I love your thread titles!!! If we get to #9 remind me of "game of doors" or "better call planning"

Thanks for the support everyone - means a lot! It's funny how loads of random songs and pics of cats etc can cheer you up when you are on your own with 6 shitty builders demolishing the flat next door

I've only been skimming to finally catch up real time! I can't take another night reading 'till midnight or when my eyes finally give up or I keep pressing last instead of next!

I go home tomorrow afternoon so I'll no doubt get behind again!

insancerre · 31/07/2017 18:16

Ignore the haters
They are just jealous
They want all the attention

DartmoorDoughnut · 31/07/2017 18:17

Love SpanGran, flies to he rescue and drinks wine I'm jealous! Mind you out of my own Grannies one would've asked me what I'd done to encourage the neighbour's to think it was their garden and the other ... well I didn't really know her as well tbf so hopefully she'd have gone all Scottish granny on them 😂

Dailystuck71 · 31/07/2017 18:17

Hello Gran!

Questioningeverything · 31/07/2017 18:18

Thanks @cedillo! Hope I've spelled that correctly!

youarenotkiddingme · 31/07/2017 18:18

Not even trying to be subtle with place marking now!

WhatIsThisWatt · 31/07/2017 18:19

annielouise there's another thread, and also a deleted one where some posters were saying I've not posted enough compared to posts by other people and some other negative things. Anyway no matter, I'm staying positive Grin

Sorry, hope you don't think I was referring to you. Smile

Hello SpanGran! We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival!

Foreverhopeful22 · 31/07/2017 18:21

Looking forward to the updates

bruffin · 31/07/2017 18:21

Troll hunters usually complain too much is happening in the time frame. Its been the weekend not sure what they expect to happen then.

MinesaBottle · 31/07/2017 18:21

Whoooo! SpanGran is here! Watch the CFNs crumble before her.

Kc1009 · 31/07/2017 18:21

Welcome to sunny UK spangran hope you can enjoy the garden, can vision the builders army crawling around to stop spangran from seeing them. With you to the end OP.

KitKat1985 · 31/07/2017 18:22

I'm excited for the arrival of Span Gran. I do hope she has that traditional 'fiery' Mediterranean temperament to sort out CFN/Bs.

WhatIsThisWatt · 31/07/2017 18:23

Hahaha she's going to love her new nickname! I wish I could post a pic of her arrival Grin

insancerre straight to the point, love it Grin

Hola Grin

I'm not really here. I'm really doing work stuff. Honest. Am.

Okay, am not really doing anything useful other than hanging out with the vipers on the door-where-there-should-be-a-listed-window thread, singing lots of good and silly songs, whilst waiting for a Spanish granny to arrive complete with paella pan and wine Blush Grin
