Oddbins , you ee to se theTrello board, here trello.com/b/Mh00lwZH/the-cfns-tale-of-the-listed-building. Look along a bit and you'll see a column headed The Summary where excellent postits were created, summarising the start at least.

That'll get you started.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 09/08/2017 19:03

Oh, Watty...we did warn you to hide the the Gorilla Tape from GTB.

Hope SpanGran's nearby with a pair of scissors.

NeverRed · 09/08/2017 19:37

Have I missed any updates?

YellowLawn · 09/08/2017 20:01

@WhatIsThisWatt has cfn cut your broadband?

MiddleClassProblem · 09/08/2017 20:03

Back from holiday. Just to clarify, still no sign of CFN but are in deep shit?

MipMipMip · 09/08/2017 20:04

Ooh can i come too RiversRun? Sounds really interesting. I too found her fascinating, although my entire knowledge is based on what Philipa Gregory's written!

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 09/08/2017 20:05

Do we think OP is coming back?
I hope she isn't leaving this unresolved!

MrsHandles · 09/08/2017 20:08

I'm beginning to get anxious that this may be the end of Watty's updates... 😬

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 09/08/2017 20:35

FOR ANYONE CATCHING UP FROM BEFORE MONDAY: SEE POST AT 17.08, Monday (NB: not by OP/Watty herself)

*
FOR ANYONE CATCHING UP ABOUT WHETHER THERE'S BEEN A MONDAY UPDATE PHONE CALL TO HER FROM PLANNING/HERITAGE: NO NEWS AS YET...

HTH!

hooochycoo · 09/08/2017 20:41

I would think, for her own sanity, watty has blocked herself from mumsnet. This must be a bit of an addictive freaky headfuck!

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 09/08/2017 20:44

Please can I use "...addictive freaky headfuck" as a name for my band, if I ever start one? Grin

WoofWoofMooWoof · 09/08/2017 21:10

Woohoooooo!!! I found you all again Grin. My search thingy hasn't been working so I've not been able to search on OP's name, and I haven't been able to find the threads. I'm sooo happy now!

I know it was mentioned ages ago, but may I suggest Barbie and the Builders as a band name?

Mulberryaddict · 09/08/2017 21:30

Can anyone please link to a summary of what happened after spangran arrived, I was following until then and have been away with no 4g on my phone and shitty wifi in the hotel so each page take foreverrrr to load and I'm desperate to know if/when CFN or builders came back, and what happened next. Thanks muchly 😘

Plainlycrackers · 09/08/2017 21:35

Look on pg 23 of this thread Monday 17:08 Marilyn has written a summary - no further Watty news since then... soz don't know how to link😳

toldmywrath · 09/08/2017 21:56

@MarilynWhirlwindRocks are you in contact with Wattyyyy then and she's stated nothing further heard from Heritage/Planning ?

Sorry to be thick! Thanks

Jg1 · 09/08/2017 22:06

I've just stumbled across this online. Unfortunately no t-shirts for the grown ups but we can dress our kids in them for the coach trip!

Fireguardmaiden · 09/08/2017 22:53

It's over, isn't it?Sad

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 09/08/2017 23:01

Told.

No, am not in touch with Watty. Nor do I know her in 'RL' (or I'd be enjoying getting pissed on SpanGran's sangria too!).

Information just collated via reading all 10 threads, browsing the Trello board, and OP's own posts. So I just meant (upthread) that we (following this thread) have no further update...not that she has/ hasn't. I wouldn't know.

As someone wisely said yesterday, at the end of the day, it's Watty's RL situation, with the usual daily demands on her time: she shouldn't feel under obligation to post just for our benefit.
Might just be that Planning/ Heritage are taking their time, haven't been in touch with her yet, and hence nothing for her to report. Smile

That said, I, like everyone here, just hope she's ok.
And we miss her.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 09/08/2017 23:05

To add: in the summary, I said the CFNs were being fined at least 10k...but, thinking about it, that's the figure the Heritage guy estimated it will cost to right everything.
Not sure the CFNs themselves are paying all of it? Though they bloody well should.

OrgyofSausages · 09/08/2017 23:28

Whats the latest?

wildflowermeadows · 10/08/2017 00:34

May I delurk to join the Phillipa Gregory inspired Woodville/Wars of the Roses sub CFN? Often wondered whether RiversRun was a fan of Jaquetta or Elizabeth. Or indeed Phillipa Langley of Richard III Car Park fame.

ScissorBow · 10/08/2017 00:44

3 days. It's taken 3 bloody days to get to here! I'm so busy at work it's untrue but here I am catching up after midnight on:

  1. Neighbours knock hole in listed building wall and put a door in it to OP's garden

  2. Planning tell OP they're taking it very seriously as a breach of regulations and they're restoring the window at significant (£10k) cost most probably to the neighbour.

10 threads. Almost 10,000 messages! Probably a post for every £1 it'll cost to fix the damage. Hugely entertaining but I need to sleep!!! Grin Grin

nocoolnamesleft · 10/08/2017 01:02

Sleep is for tortoises.

Is anyone bringing a tortoise?
