Just called in on a friend and her neighbours were washing their car on their front garden, I had to turn away from them to laugh as I was reminded of your thread

Please tell your DH that MNers are already mad, this thread can't make us any worse

If I could be bothered to talk to people I'd possibly discover its very chatsworth-esque but I live in blissfull ignorance, plus I'm new and shy Blush --and get picked on at the school when I drop ds off for owning a family car, a bugaboo, mini micro scooters and the kids wearing clarks shoes to name a few :(--

It does have a reputation but me and dp have led a very quiet life here so far, plus the house is gorgeous :)

Hehe State I noticed on the other thread you said 'welcome to Shameless' - I didn't want to say it but it does sound like a Chatsworth-worthy story! (Would have been round at his mums asking for the full story by now...)

Same here barebums I'm useless without my morning shower, it makes me really grouchy not having one!

They're just sat there, magazines and chocolate bars to munch.

I want a chocolate bar.

I'd probably be so lost on MN I'd survive weeks in a car Shock Blush Wink

Actually I'd feel pretty icky after two days of no washing so maybe not...

GravyAndALumpyMashBaby · 20/03/2012 14:39

State this thread has brought me no end of joy today Grin
However I've now done zero cleaning whilst DS was napping

I have to get out of the car for a stretch every couple of hours when travelling somewhere, cannot image having that kind of staying power!
hardcore bastards

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 20/03/2012 14:33

I'm pretty stubborn so reckon I could have lasted a day (with a good book Wink) but no way would I have made it to a week

I'd have given up hours in smiling couldn't think of anything more dull than sitting in a car, well, spose if I had my phone I'd survive.

Can't believe I've only just seen this thread must spend more time in chat and less in AIBU

I'm so jealous my neighbours are all middle aged and boring, I want weird neighbours that live in cars!!!!

You've got to give him credit for his staying power I would have given up days ago

norfolk she probably would, but after an arguement with my car door sunday I've a rather nasty headache, ill encourage her to scream on the way past to school ok :)

Mmm that's a possibility.

"the cheeky cunt facebooked her to bring him out a spliff. Tenna and takeaway menu"

How long dya recon a teenage/early 20's male can sulk in a smelly BMW?"

Answer - until his bail hearing is up.

NorfolkNChance · 20/03/2012 13:31

You know it's a lovely day and I'm sure your DD wants to run up and down the pavement preferably screeching

StateofConfusion · 20/03/2012 13:28

The cars now back in one of the parking spaces, more awkward to nose from the house now!

I'll have a sneaky look when I go collect ds.

BareBums · 20/03/2012 13:17

She should have thrown it over him! Grin

StateofConfusion · 20/03/2012 13:12

rips good to know there's reinforcement should I need it, my own flesh and blood are useless ds swanned off to school, dd would rather watch ben and holly, dp thinks in crazy, and my mother still lives the other side of the border.

I should leave the bastards really I should.

Oh dear original boy is NOT happy about the water.

OP posts:
NickyNackyNooNoo · 20/03/2012 13:11

This is totally hilarious OP Grin

Possibly its the cost of fuel/air charges that have caused them to have a staycation Wink

NorfolkNChance · 20/03/2012 13:10

Ew @ money shot

StateofConfusion · 20/03/2012 13:10

It certainly is, our old house was a stones throw from them. although the garden in question is not in my good books, sand, water and my strange dd do not mix, and I've been finding sand in the car, pushchair, bags, me, you get the picture, for weeks

update the mum just threw a washing up bowl of water over the car.

OP posts:
ripsishere · 20/03/2012 13:10

And my parents are relatively close to you.
I wonder what my Mum's up to, she could come down and give you back up in case you go in with your camera for the money shot.

NorfolkNChance · 20/03/2012 13:06

Ah I currently reside just outside the town of gardens and ruins (I work right by the garden in question)

StateofConfusion · 20/03/2012 13:03

Haha, we just hoped the border last year, I was in the town known for its gardens and ruins

OP posts:
NorfolkNChance · 20/03/2012 12:59

Ah not too far away from you but just far enough, my name is a bit misleading I really should be SuffolkNWhat as I am just over the border.

I do know where you are though.

Again that sounded better in my head. And less stalkerish.

StateofConfusion · 20/03/2012 12:56

Oh and norfolk, that did sound a bit creepy!

bagel not as disapointed as me I can assure you.

NorfolkNChance from your name I'm assuming you must be nearby. There's 'free range segways' now at the forest I'm nearby. and I'd just like to state I am nothing like the stereotypes my lovely estate boasts, we had a labrador (rip molly) not a pit bull of some kind Grin

Rip that's what dp said Hmm he's from the midlands although and finds everyone a bit bizare down here Grin

I'm perfecting the photos, I keep making dd say cheese, then saying, "oh dd do stand still its all blurry" until I get a good'un.

I have NO shame, they're sat back inside it but its still on the doorstep practically.

Dps just came in, she whistled at him when he bent down to lock the garage, and his answer to what's going on is, "bunch of fuck tards, best not to try and figure it out, you'll drive yourself and your mumsnet lot insane eventually"
