CFN thread #10 (grand)

[WhatIsThisWatt]

Thanks for title!

I'm trying to post this really quickly so that I can link on #9 so I'll be back soon.

Still following on holiday. Great news on planning update earlier, hoping the CFNs are a distant memory soon but what a week!

I cannot open the 1st thread. 😩 stamps feet. I have nooooo idea what is going on

Not been about for a few days, so just binge read the last few threads. Who needs box sets when you can have Wattyyy?

This has been so satisfying. I won't get complete closure until there has been a sighting of the CFN though.

"Ken is living for the drama, he almost fell of his stool when I walked in earlier. I think it's been a quiet day"

Is he not aware how famous he is? Has he not read his storyline?!!

Can we have a live Q & A with SpanGran and GTB?

Are we still doing flags?

Never mind the wine! Get stuck into all that Sangria... two bottles of wine right there.

Glad it's all getting sorted :)

If I don't comment I'll lose my place. So I'm just wasting a comment 😂 I can't work out how to watch without commenting 😂😂 sorry.

thenightsky the sangria has been demolished consumed.

I feel like I've witnessed a moment of greatness in history; to be part of this 10 threads and counting thing of awe and beauty

~mumbles something vaguely interesting to mark place~

Is not me - is you give them my wrong name - you say Vanka Simonavitch. I are Vanka Vankavitch. My father Vanka, his father Vanka, his father also Vanka. I are from long line of Vankas"

For the second evening in a row I have fallen off sofa giggling. AlpacaCat is once again giving me The Look. And my children are getting very vocal about the continuing lateness of supper.

No pics of sangria? Was the recipe good?

So pleased planning came through for you. I hope that CFNs get lumbered with the bill rather than hapless new purchasers.

@TheWernethWife that's dedication to a rascal! I have just looked to see if you can buy them online (you can) and have discovered chocolate and orange little rascals. I might have to pop in to town tomorrow now.

Jedi I know! It was gone before I had a chance should we make more????

Wow this thread is going strong! I'll quickly have a catch up

Yay for Wattyyy and the wonderful planners!
Now, I'm going to make a confession. I'm from West Yorkshire, and I don't even know what a fat rascal is! Is that totally unforgivable?!
@SchadenfreudePersonified and @Marilyn. I'm loving your little skits. I'd love to meet Vanka!! (I have the right accent for the last one, sans pigeon!

Meant to bold your name jedi not score it out!

I'm so proud my contribution (Grand Old Duke of York parody) is now on Trello!

Inspired by my visit to a pirate party today (kids singing and dancing to the music of Swashbuckle!) here's my latest musical contribution. This is sung to the Swashbuckle tv theme, which all parents of young children will know. If not, Google it! Here goes........

A gang of naughty buil-ders
Went to next door's flat
The building, it is listed
They took no heed of that!

But Watyy caught them at it
She shouted and she stamped
They then took fright, packed up their van
Drove off, they're gone, decamped!

Her SpanGran flew in Monday
These neighbours will not win
She makes a fine paella
Expect she might like gin!
( try as I might I can't think of a rhyme for sangria)

Then planning came round quick-ly
Not pleased with what they found
To get the wall replaced as was
Will cost ten thousand pounds!

(Chorus)

Hey ho, Mumsnetters go!
Take on the neighbours, yo ho ho!
Hey ho, Mumsnetters go!
Mumsnetters cheer - mwah ha!

How's that?

I knew it! Madja's been to the airport today and is now trying to throw you off the scent Schadenfreude!

Somebody was asking before about Vanka and Vlad, they are fictional characters that somehow in my mind look like Vladimir Putin and iVanka Trump... You have a specific list in Trello with all the entries (I think). It's like some fictional Russian soap-opera characters that are following this thread... Unless I missed some very important detail on their conception!

So invested in this story and place marking as am away for 2 weeks with no wifi/data!!! 😱😭
Hope it goes well on Monday @whatisthiswatt

Lol whattyy
