To Kick These People Out #3 - the countdown begins

The Beginning

The Middle

The end?

So... Long story short... There are horses, soon there should not be (I'm not good at summaries, they make me sound unreasonable).

We have a date! This Saturday! The horses should be taken away to pastures new, so we can roam the meadow in gingham dresses (dh looks good in a gingham dress) and we can have FuckYouFestivals to our heart's content.

There will be choirs and drums and bands and weapons and stackable goats and so much more!

Anyone who's read the threads knows I love a lurker. I can you see you out there. Go on, jump in while the thread's all new and shiny. You know you want to Wink

Ready for another update?

Well... There was a knock at the door...

AuroraRoared · 15/02/2014 13:27

Oooh, I checked back in at just the right moment...

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 15/02/2014 13:29

I've not gone yet, but I need to. Come on Chris, give...

AlpacaLypse · 15/02/2014 13:33

So there was a knock at the door...

And it was Jehovah's Witnesses?

A delivery for the next nearest cottage who are out at the moment?

Not a knock at all, but a stackable goat that had blown off the stack and bashed into the door?

C'mon, stop teasing you naughty Chris you!

DejaVuAllOverAgain · 15/02/2014 13:33

Now I've caught up Grin

Magic maybe aome Llamas to provide a barrier?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 13:34

Well Grin RL came to the door.

She was overcome with apologies and gratitude. Very much gave the impression she is fed up with UW. Told us UW says she can't cope with any stress as she had an abusive XH. I said, "join the club! I'm still nice to people."

She was lovely and offered help as intermediary at any point. Said that she was glad the horses could stay together, but any issues and she would be removing the stallion from his companion.

All is well and she is lovely.

Phew.
I think we need a MN plaque, a bit like the blue plaques, to mark the scenes of infamous threads. You could have one on your gate, bollard lady has one on the side of her wall, one at the lemondrizzle school etc.

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 15/02/2014 13:38

Well that's nice, that RL came and spoke face to face. UW's excuse is ridiculous especially as it's been her behaviour causing the stress. It sounds more like simply wanting all her own way.

Anyway, you won't need an intermediary will you Chris?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 13:38

Ffod, do it, I've got the place.

BoreOfWhabylon · 15/02/2014 13:39

See? I predicted that RL would be back later. Just call me Mystic Bore Grin

Ooh, I could turn up at the FYF, draped in horsey scarves and do predictions! I will need to find a tent and a crystal ball though.

AuroraRoared · 15/02/2014 13:40

Good for RL! Was anything said about UW's trailer and an arrangement for her to pick it up?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 13:40

Enrique, me? Never Wink

I know. The idea that you get to be rude and aggressive to people because someone was once rude and aggressive to you, does not wash with me.

OP posts:
FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 13:42

Bore :) you're psychic!

Aurora, yup, discussed it being removed. That's what RL offered to be intermediary for. She's going to give us a call.

OP posts:
FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 13:44

Oh and apparently RL had to go round to UW's house this morning and get them out of bed! They said they weren't ready and couldn't do it. RL literally had to drag them out!

IdaBlankenship · 15/02/2014 13:46

Yayy! I made my cheesecake and came back to find your horses had gone. All is right with the world.

growingolddicustingly · 15/02/2014 13:50

Just caught up (bit busy removing half a pine tree from my decking well, a humungus branch anyway). Does a squeeee dance and sips on salted caramel vodka.

Enjoy your field Chris (no naked dancing now Wink)

Meerka · 15/02/2014 13:50

That's just absolutely wonderful news!

Stallion gone, companion gone and with lucky, UW out of your lives!

woooohoooooo chris just great :D

DejaVuAllOverAgain · 15/02/2014 13:51

Good for RL. Not that you need her with that super strength backbone you hhave Wink

Now you can start planning that meadow of yours :)

Morgause · 15/02/2014 14:15

Cheers!

MarysDressSways · 15/02/2014 14:25

Hurray for RL! Congratulations on your empty field!

MissHobart · 15/02/2014 14:42

Woohoo! So glad they're gone! I second the gathering everyone together in coats and wellies for a quick run round YOUR field! Followed by hot chocolate! Grin

LilyTheSavage · 15/02/2014 14:53

Wine for you.

Hurrah!

Jux · 15/02/2014 15:02

Yay! And squeeeeeee! And congrats to FYC and MrChris Thanks

I have a ton of large sheets of rice paper (don't ask) with which we can make edible signs for the kids at FYF if you think they'd be useful.....

MrsNutella · 15/02/2014 15:13

Ooohhhh it looks like congratulations are in order.

YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!! ThanksThanksThanks (Really need a little firework emoticon Grin)

Well, I better go back and catchup. I totally forgot a friend had talked me into Aqua Zumba so was out the last few hours. Had to replace those burnt calories with cake afterwards of course Smile

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 15:29

Ida, send me some cheesecake. Please.

Growingold, I'll try to restrain myself Wink

Meerka, I'll drink to that

Deja, I think the prosthetic backbone may be settling in

Morgause, cheers!

Marys, many thanks!

MissH, that's the plan for tomorrow :)

Lily, why thank you kindly

Jux, that sounds like a great idea. Make edible signs for everyone.

MrsN, I'm just doing the cake without the exercise Blush

Bubble, thank you!

Toad, I will dance :)

Thegreylady, I thought I saw you earlier, I'm sure you were here helping Wink

I'm sorry if I've missed anyone, it's been a busy morning/afternoon/few weeks.

You're all amazing.
