We only found out it was his sisters a little while ago, were in a private rent through a housing charity, moved in and neighbour was offhand, though nothing of it really. Each to their own.

LL spent two days her fixing our boiler, I made him lunch and cuppa and turns out he got the house cheap as it was reposesed and auctioned off, and it was neighbours sisters.

Hence his hatred for us.

jackin I have a pressure washer, should I offer it?

Dp just looked paniced, sil is giving us her caravan due to her downsizing her car, and us having a tank of a car. We were putting it on the drive a few weeks whilst investigating storage. Now he doesn't think we should GrinHmm

Fuck the kleenex these guys need baby wipes. or a pressure washer

ripsishere · 21/03/2012 18:23

Whoa. What did I miss about you living in NDNs sister's house?
Are you paving the way for the over the road jizz dwellers to make an attempt on your NDNs house?
is that, in fact, how you got yours? You, DH and DC rocked up one day in an Escort van..........................

Unfortunatly the neighbour with cctv is the one who's sisters house I now live in, therefore he kinda doesn't speak to or acknowledge me in anyway.

Ill go as far as photos and updates but speaking to someone for the first time just to ask if I can use there cctv to film someone across the road will make me look crazy. --as if the other stuff doesn't already--

update

Day 9 in the jizz stinking car. Original boy returns and sits in the drivers seat with the door open.

Original girl sits in the back.

Two children, between 5-10yo are visiting them at the car as if it were there house Hmm

New photo on its way. (Again don't worry, I was out at the tumble dryer when I spotted them and got a text so acted like I was replying)

Ok I do sound crazy. I'd like to add here this is all harmless and merely curiosity and entertainment.

Your neighbour has CCTV ? could they not... reposition it ?

Me and dp being out front at the car and garage isn't unusual at all, nor is me taking pics of dd.

Don't worry.

As for the garage 3 locks, normal and one on top and bottom and the cars parked about 2" from the door. Oh and next door has cctv up covering the garages.

update

They Are back. More news shortly.

I think their Mum sounds fab standing her ground like this.
I will think back to this thread when trying not to give into DS and his huge puppy dog eyes like a sucker

ripsishere · 21/03/2012 16:48

Good point by Gravy, don't leave the garage door unsecured, there may be some sort of squatters rights.
You are brave and bonkers. I'd pay money to know what it is all about.

mmmerangue · 21/03/2012 16:34

I wonder if that mum is secretly on Mumsnet watching us all gossip about her...

GravyAndALumpyMashBaby · 21/03/2012 16:26

ooooh. Watch they don't move into your garage if she evicts them from her car State!

BareBums · 21/03/2012 16:24

Brilliant state

But I never realised how close to the action you actually were til I saw the last photos so do be careful!!

Cars back, mum got out and walked away.

(Not sure if I previously stated she has her own set of keys as when they got out so she could 'use' it before they locked it, she simply unlocked and drove off, they aren't too clever it would seem.)

Im putting some new pics up, tbh they're not to interesting, just its back, but I want to keep you all in the know.

I have dinner and dc to organise but ill be back outside soon, I think I need to clean my car.

Gets more snacks

garlicbutter · 21/03/2012 15:37

Oh, excellent!

Not sure whose side I'm on now - exasperated mum or car-camping kids!
"Nosey Mum" gets the most votes, of course Wink

barebums I think things may be about to get interesting, the car was leaving as I went to get ds from school.

On my return home original boy and girl are in the house, lots of shouting and rummaging in cupboards etc.

Me thinks mumsy has hidden there keys!

I'm going to 'look' for something in the garage and find an online translator so I can give a more detailed update.

Bet they cracked and have gone home tail between legs?
The cleaning of the car was my first suspicion.

They aren't in the car...

Day 9 in the jizz stinking car.

2pm this afternoon original boy was seen leaving the jizz stinking car.

By 2.25pm original girl had also left.

We eagerly anticipate there return.

They laughed at 24 Years at the Tap End but look at 'em now!

I'm the nosey mother over the road Grin

I'm on a waiting list for the doctors, they'll call me --on the 25th of never-- when there is a free slot.

But having worried all night its not hurting today, --unless I poke it--

I'm about to pop out so hopefully some updates on my return.

Still loling...

These kids have got amazing stamina!

My teenage fights with mum & dad were 9/10 sorted out within 5 hours of 'I hate you! I'm going to live in the caravan!' - Caravan was bigger than a car but bloody cold and dirty...
