You realise you've all got me and dh actually discussing the feasibility and insanity of potentially inviting a group of complete strangers to a random and raucous event that would inevitably end in disaster? (And yes I'm aware that sentence has no commas, it doesn't deserve any!)

OH YESS!!!!!

Can I still do the T Shirts?!

And it wouldnt end in disaster because it wouldnt be a field of noisy irritating Guides/Scouts/Brownies etc, but a field of MNers.......oh hang on....I see what you are saying.... :o

Bogeyface · 26/01/2014 23:17

In all seriousness, you could do it and raise some money for charrriddy at the same time. I am sure there is a horse rescue charity that would be grateful for the money, you would put your field to good use and at say...£10 PP, it would be a good night for all.

Mass camping, bring your own booze and food, whats not to love?!

MiscellaneousAssortment · 26/01/2014 23:31

Sounds great and I'm in :)

Am so glad the shed is clear. It shows that however much she's mouthing off, she's complying with your deadlines. It bodes weeeeeeeellllllllll!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 26/01/2014 23:35

Misc, it does :)

Bogey you are the expert tshirt person type thing, always!

Grin The imagery has a charm all of its own I think!

I shall probably come up with a new fantasy for the eviction tomorrow while tramping around sea of mud fields tomorrow becoming far to intimately invested in equine bowel movements and running upkeep of, ridiculously easy to set up, electric fencing.

OohAahBird · 27/01/2014 00:05

Yay, that is such good news, I have been lurking and reading.

I could do face painting and can bring 3 DC who are desperate to go camping in our new tent. :)

We got left gnome houses and about 100 garden ornaments but at least all that we required was a skip and a sledge hammer!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 00:11

Oohahbird we've gained a broken deer, a bull dog and a gnome. I'm sure more will appear as we work our way through the brambles :)

Roadkill, it's gold, let that imagination run wild. I chuckled at the electric fence bit.

I know someone that did a houseswap with someone from Cumbria down to Essex - they had to spend the first night down there in the car as there was no room to move stuff in even if they had wanted to - the house was completely stuffed and filthy. I think they're onto skip 20 now and have discovered that the garden is a lot bigger than they thought as they got rid of 'stuff' and found more behind it. Luckily the local authority is paying for the skips - I think they're glad to have someone come in and sort it all out for them!

GlaikitFizzog · 27/01/2014 09:00

Can I ask about accommodation in the local area. I would be coming quite a distance so would need to lay my weary head somewhere that isn't a horse block!

I do have a tent so a camp site would work.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 09:44

Glaikit, there are a few caravan sites and camp sites within about a mile :)

Mistle luckily we had a bit of an overlap with our rented place and this house, otherwise I think that would have been us. How can people be so selfish?

When my dad moved into his current house, the previous owner left behind 3 broken down cars, a steading and 4 large sheds filled to the brim with crap. After nagging by the solicitor, he came back and removed 2 of the cars. The third was an ancient Morris Minor that looked like it had last been moved in the Sixties. This was left for us to dispose of. As we worked through the sheds we discovered a pair of cross country skis (made of wood), a dismembered hang-glider, a machete, a dead rat in a cage and half-full bottles marked Hydrochloric Acid and Sulfuric Acid. Also a billion flower pots. Confused We gradually emptied and took down 3 of the sheds - the 4th is still standing and still filled with flower pots. We also removed the foundations of a greenhouse that had never been built - very large concrete foundations, with panes of glass neatly stacked inside them.

AngelaDaviesHair · 27/01/2014 10:26

Shed cleared?

Ok, re-holstering my Taser and standing down from Defcon 5. In a slightly disappointed manner.

No seriously, that is very good news. It means UW has recognised she's going to have to go.

MarvellousMechanicalMouseOrgan · 27/01/2014 10:32

And she is realising your mean business. Well done Chris, that backbone is growing all by itself! Grin

MarvellousMechanicalMouseOrgan · 27/01/2014 10:32

Your? Doh!

NigelMolesworth · 27/01/2014 11:00

Hurrah! Hurrah! One small step and all that....

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 27/01/2014 11:01

TooExtra I hope they eBay ed the Morris minor. they're worth a munt even in crap condition!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 27/01/2014 11:02

worth a MINT
Munting is something COMPLETELY different! Confused Grin

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 27/01/2014 11:31

I feel as if I belong to a special mn festival group. I imagine us all randomly turning up in your field and having and amazing time, and it going down in mn history. You know the sort of thing ''I've nc for this but I am a regular, you know pombears, penisbeaker, and I was at the festival

Bear Bear Bear

Thank you to Mr Chris for the flowers and kind words.
This thread is my daily smile Smile < this is me trying out some impromptu festival wear.

IdaBlankenship · 27/01/2014 11:52

I'd love to find a Morris Minor in a shed. I once reversed into a concrete pillar in a multi-storey car park as I was ogling a beautiful specimen parked nearby.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 12:03

You never know, underneath all the crap there could be a Morris minor. So far we have aforementioned garden tools, chainsaw, angle grinder, piano (collapsed), circular saw in a work bench (destroyed by leaky roof), many cabinets, shelves, lots of furniture, and my favourite so far, a huge case full of every single type of screw you will ever need (I've already used lots!). That's just a few things left behind.

Oh and one of these Shock

Angela, sorry to disappoint (not sorry!)
