My first CF thread 😱

[Donotunderstandmyhouse]

Hi all!

I've read lots about cfers on here but now I think I actually have one?! Or maybe the heat and being 7 months pregnant is making me go mad ....

Anyway! Just had garden done last weekend so I'm enjoying it lots now it's hot :-) ddog is also enjoying the new sprinkler! Today we planned on having a bbq at about 3/4 with some family members coming round. Dh was just outside setting it all up (getting bbq out cleaning it etc).

Ndn (who I know enough to say hi to/take parcels in but that's about it) has just messaged me on fb to ask if we are having a bbq. I assumed she was asking because of washing or something so I said yes at about 3. She then replied asking if she could use it too as there garden is a state and they have no bbq? I said they were welcome to join us if she liked (they have always seemed nice and I'm up for making new friends!). Anyway she didn't respond at first but now she's messaged saying no thank you they are going to an Easter egg hunt later but if they could use it before they go at about 2 that would be great????

What on Earth?! I've just replied saying I don't think that will work for us (fave mumsnet phrase!) 😂 but Aibu to think she's a cf? Or am I just not being neighbourly?

Are you stood on a chair looking out the skylight? If so please be careful!
Also please tell us what dh spoke to her hubby about!?!?

@PositiveVibez sorry for the boring update! I'm a little disappointed 😂 I've started my mat leave already as I have back issues and this was the most exciting thing I've experienced since 😳😳😳

@Aimily haha I was stood on our bench thing but no chance of falling off the roof as only my head was stuck out 🙈

Just realised you probably meant don't fall off the chair....🙈🙈🙈

How kind of him suggesting YOU do drinks one night.

I'm guessing there's going to be a few threads on your CF neighbours.

@PositiveVibez well I've already suggested hosting them once now and been rejected so I shan't be doing it again! They've been fairly quiet since we moved in but we have been pretty busy with garden etc so today is probably the first day we have both been relaxing pottering about the house.

She's replied!!!!!

Sorry got over excited and posted before I read her response 🙈 she just put what a shame and maybe they could come round tomorrow instead. Is that rude of her? I'm not sure if she wants to use the bbq now or if she is trying to make friends and I've been mean?

Exciting!

And???!!! Don’t leave us hanging!!!

Yes please don't let your head fall out the skylight!! Definitely meant don't fall off the chair @donotunderstandmyhouse 😂😂😂

I'd be worried they'd be wanting to make use of your garden and bbq on a regular basis!

'She just put what a shame and maybe they could come round tomorrow instead. Is that rude of her?'

FFS. She's just trying to use you for your BBQ.

@Aimily I swear I have some intelligence 🙈🙈

This is hilarious!!!! Updates straight away!!!!

Just send her this link

You're welcome

Do you think it's defs just for the bbq? 😩

OMGCFBBQ!

@LittleMissHappy19 id like to say I'm far too busy to update straight away but I am literally just sat folding one million and one baby grows.... and refreshing mumsnet 😂

I've sent back:

Sorry we aren't having a bbq tomorrow, too much hassle to clean it all again :-)

Will see what she says, then I'll know if she wants to actually meet us properly or just have sausages 😛

I think it's rude of people to invite themselves round because it suits them. Invitations aren't normally open ended, especially with people you barely know.

You have drama so totally acceptable!!!

Can you put the bbq in the shed and 'lose' the key tomorrow? Then it could be drinks in the garden only?

I'm still laughing at the fact that I thought you were concerned I may have fallen out of the skylight 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Don't worry I am too!!! I think it's brilliant.

Good responses. She has a nerve.
