Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Well yes I am, I know I am. But still am absolutely enraged

that some tosser has parked his/her Audi TT outside my house for 10 days straight, and hasn't bothered to move it at all. This means that when I swoop up the road I now have to actually do a reverse parking maneouvre rather than just park in one move to curve manouvre outside my own bloody house which is so conveniently located on a corner.

Move your bloody car and park it outside your own house.

Calm down women. You two are both obv very stressed atm, and I'm so sorry you are going through this.

Sweetfall - three weeks would have made me a bit hmm as well. Surely though if three feet away there is a nice big unused parking bay you could be using that instead without too much inconvenience...however I am glad it has gone, finally! smile

Hope you both have some good news soon xx

thingone, i agree with you about the blackmail bit
"her" at end of second to last line should read "their"
What's wrong with my last sentence? Look at sweetfall's other posts which I did when I saw her reply. She says she has massive health anxiety. I know what she's talking about. Help is available. Why is it harsh to suggest it? We should be more open about dealing with these things. It is absolutely not unkind to suggest help.

I'm not "having a go" at sweetfall. In her last post she said my comment was stupid. I didn't retort on the name calling. I explained why it wasn't stupid for me to say what I originally said.

I also thought the whole of her last paragraph read as emotional blackmail. Having said people should not use comments to bolster her argument she then used her possible illness to bolster her own argument.

WHy are people having a go at sweetfall - she knows she is being a little unreasonable but nevertheless wants to have a moan, thats fair enough!!!!

Thingone - that was an unnecessarily harsh post
Surely all of us get worked up about seemingly trivial things occasionally???

I do - such as why its always my turn to do the washing up!
That's awful Yurtgirl. There are some very inconsiderate people around. What if you did own a car and you needed to get somewhere in an emergency!

shock at Riven's post too.

Sweetfall - I too feel your pain, but at least the car isnt parked across your drive

For the first time in years I live in a house with a drive, no car but I do have a drive

My neighbours park across my drive all the time - arghhhhhhhhhh drive me crazy

I know I dont use it but that isnt the point - its mine!
Sweetfall, was the car taken away by the owner or the police? I suppose it doesn't matter now the blooming thing is gone.

I'm glad it's now sorted.

YwereNBU!
yanbu. Its plain annoying although they have a legal right. But is it moral?
There's been a red car parked for 6 days half in my disabled bay and my neighbour parked up to the white line on the other side elaving me with 4 feet to get my car in.
So I have to park some distance away with a sick child and shopping etc. Fucking incovenient and slefish but not illegal apparently.
I would never park outside someone elses house because I'd feel bad.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
