CFN patio doors, sangria, ken from the shop update

Hello all, most of you probably won’t know what I’m on about but for those of you that do, I feel that I owe you an explanation. A friend alerted me to a few threads where I’d been called a troll etc.

I’ve been through a very long process with NDN about the doors (which I had been told were going to be replaced/ wall reinstated etc)

I had also been told by my lawyer that all was fine.

The planning dept have been on my side, as per all previous threads.

This all seemed to be going ahead until I returned home to find half of my flat wall caved in.

I had to move out to stay with a friend. The whole thing has been a total nightmare and it is still not resolved. My wall has been partially fixed, the patio doors remain and no one has seen hide nor hair of NDN or the builders for months.

My flat is now uninhabitable for the foreseeable and there are legal implications, planning laws and listed building laws which all have to be agreed and adhered to before anything will be done, apparently.

This may be terribly outing but I am beyond caring. I was told not to post on here, however, the advice I received was second to none and so I thank you all for that.

My grandma has been unwell so I have been back and forth to Spain, seems like all is against me!

Sorry I disappeared for so long, but you can imagine how awful it has been, I’m in a better place now, so thought it was time to come back and let you know that I’m not some fantasist making up stories about doors 😂

Hope to see some familiar names on the thread!

Oh I wish! Maybe things would’ve progressed by now.

No need for the hostility dora

I think posters should report ME first. Go ahead I haven't said anything wrong at all, no personal jibes or anything, just a common sense response to this.

But if there is a clique I could be nuked!

Look no offence intended, and I know many realise this. It is just a common sense response to what happened. Read back my posts.

If you don't like them well, I don't like a lot of posts here in general anyway, but I get on with it.

Loving you all,

AnathemaPulsifer · 28/10/2017 00:02

Glad SpanGran is on the mend.

YouTheCat · 28/10/2017 00:03

Dora, MNHQ already confirmed OP isn't a troll ages ago.

There is no clique. That's just weird.

LapdanceShoeshine · 28/10/2017 00:03

@Doramaybe

I think posters should report ME first

Have a look back at your earlier posts Grin

ClaudiaWinklepants · 28/10/2017 00:07

Watty, good to hear from you, but not so great to hear about your wall - what a nightmare! Glad to hear SpanGran is improving.

Have often thought of you over the past weeks. Here’s hoping you can get things sorted fairly soon Flowers

Glad to here spangran is on the mend!
Any news from the other characters in the story still hoping gorilla tape Barbuda and ken get together? Not sure what you are legally allowed to say obviously don't say anything that may jeopardise things but, out of interest/nosiness did you ever discover who the cheeky fuckers were?

Doramaybe · 28/10/2017 00:14

I am new to this thread so do forgive me if I am not up to speed on every little nuance with the CF neighbours or whatever. Just responding to what I have read so far.

Obvious that there is a "following" sorry Clique on here, So I have to fight my corner.

But in fairness you have been most kind!

Sometimes a bit of banter that does not follow the received wisdom can be fun,

Uh Oh, sorry fun not allowed here anymore, must follow the way things go.

Ah come on, it is an open thread on the internet. Anything goes so long as it is polite.

I was also thinking about you this week

What a nightmare

UnicornSparkles1 · 28/10/2017 00:22

Oh wow, I'm sorry OP. What a dreadful update. What's your solicitor doing about it all? Flowers

blanklook · 28/10/2017 00:26

Oh Watty,

So sorry to hear the update, was hoping all was progressing at the legal and planning pace but with your place being restored to its natural state.

You must have had an awful time what with Spangran and then being '' it's a double blow. It's good to hear Spangran's progressing, she stole everyone's hearts when she came to your rescue, now you've had to return the favour, as a team you are now invincible.

Wishing you both the best of everything Flowers

blanklook · 28/10/2017 00:28

Spooky disappearing word in my post should be

and then you being relocated, it's a double blow.

stayathomegardener · 28/10/2017 00:28

Not thought about you for ages until today.
Weird.
Sorry it's not resolved.

KichenDancefloor · 28/10/2017 00:29

Hi Watty, like so many others had said, I really hoped your silence meant you were quietly getting on with life once all the drama of your summer was over and I’m sorry that wasn’t the case.

I would rather have had no updates than hear about the rough time you’ve been having.

Perhaps shadenfreud can write a musical about the whole sorry saga (with Vlad and Vanka in a play within a play?) and the proceeds can be spent on a private detective to track down your CF NDN.

Thesecondtoast · 28/10/2017 00:30

Just de-lurking to wish Spangran a very speedy recovery. She sounds fab. Grin

TickedOff · 28/10/2017 00:31

I followed your previous threads OP and found it all fascinating, CF NDN to the extreme, really does astound me how some people are so entitled and don’t give a flip about anyone else. Compelling reading. One of my pictures even made the cut in the round up of going’s on which another poster kindly linked (can’t remember how they did this now).

I’m sorry to learn that things have got worse and there’s been little progress made resolving this mess. Unbelievable.

Flowers for you.

TickedOff · 28/10/2017 00:31

Oh yes and I hope Spangran gets better soon.

tiredbutFINE · 28/10/2017 00:44

Best wishes to the paella/frying pan wielding SpanGran, sorry it’s been rubbish for you lately Watty

Brenna24 · 28/10/2017 00:45

Oh no. I too had hoped that no news was good news. I hope that the planning people can now step in and sort it out properly. Get well soon to SpanGran and Hi to Ken and your friend.

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 28/10/2017 00:56

So sorry to hear this update. What a ballache.

Laine21 · 28/10/2017 01:15

Hi Watty, so sorry to hear your Gran has been unwell, I hope she is on the mend.

How awful that this not resolved, but just got worse for you. Stay positive
Thinking of you xxxx

The op cannot live in her HOME, so can people not have compassion?
Rather telling that majority of your comments have been deleted Hmm

Please ignore the gf op.
Im so sorry for you, i cannot imagine what you are going through.
Hope your gran gets better Flowers

kali110 · 28/10/2017 01:47

What exactly gas happened to the neighbours too? Did they never return??

Motoko · 28/10/2017 01:48

Thanks for the update, but oh shit. I'm so sorry it's got worse, not better by now.

Glad to hear your nan is on the mend now. Flowers
