I'm a terrible night owl lady and years of feeling like a zombie everyday have done nothing to change it, plus I always slept on my front but pregnancy symptoms stop that so I have trouble falling asleep! Rest assured I was actually in bed mning.

I think the cars still there this morning, can't see clearly round a van!

How come you're still up? but ...

At least he has his MN spying sorted, did you buy him thhe green house so he would spend time outside spying for us?

No lady ds is in reception which has its own area entirely with nursery, so we cant see the older years classes at all, and with the horrendous rain we've had hanging around hasnt been an option, its been more of a 'ds, hood up now RUUUUUUUN' affair.

As the weather improves i will dither more at the school gate.

If any action occurs out front dp should catch it, he has a veg patch in the front garden and has been tinkering in his mini green house i got him! So he's always out there, and if it rains he retreats to the garage --which gives a better view--

You miss so much in a few days. Emmerdale has nothing in this

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 26/04/2012 23:39

Congrats again State,

Oh how I'm glad they're back to keep me entertained while DC are ill and I'm running on NO sleep (Sorry I digress)

have you seen the child(ren) that OG picks up?

Thank you all.

Dp joked that if cargate is still happening in December we have to think of names for BMW initials, oh how I laughed.

Well, it seems they are back, dp randomly moved ds' bedroom around so now if I'm quiet I can nose outside without climbing anywhere, clearly he was thinking of keeping me safe --not stopping ds from scratching the wall and creeping the neighbours out--

We think they're only sat there this evening as they've come for a visit and its raining too hard for them to brave getting out of the car. Like me and dd did for 35minutes today :)

Congratulations!! I kind of guessed from your 'DC3' comment last week but wanted to wait for you to announce properly!

NaiceAm · 26/04/2012 21:15

Congratulations! Will you a la Beckhams be naming the child Mercedes, Astra or perhaps the more exotic cinquecento? ;-)

ovaltine · 26/04/2012 21:09

JustFab · 26/04/2012 21:05

Sorry, I've completed pottermore so im back.

I have also got pregnant in the time ive spent away Grin of course this is all in the name of research so i can attend antenatal clinics and check on NFN baby. See how far i will go for you all.

Well the car spent 3 days there... we didnt see OB or OG once, then they were in it for around 4hrs, now they are gone again. We have seen OG at the local primary school a few times.

stop playing pottermore and update us

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 23/04/2012 17:59

State, what's occuring? are they still there?

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 23/04/2012 17:48

Sorry, I meant NFN as Normal for Norfolk as in, a while ago, we were speculating that OG and OB were brother and sister.

So if they had a baby, it would be Normal for Norfolk Grin

GravyHadALumpyMashBaby · 21/04/2012 22:53

Oh ok, not very obvious then!
I've never got to car thing really. But then Dh is quite a big lad and our car is hardly spacious! Grin

Hebiegebies · 21/04/2012 09:14

Really is time for the CTV

Normal For Norfolk.

and having lived here almost a year, on my estate atleast, concieving in a car is NFN.

Here i would like to express ds, dd and dc3 were NOT concieved in a car, im born and bread the other side of the border, im naice Grin --hahaha totes fit in--

dd is finally asleep, thank goodness!

GravyHadALumpyMashBaby · 20/04/2012 20:55

It's probably obvious but what does NFN baby mean please? Blush

And I know what you wrt toddlers driving you to distraction state. And I'm not even hormonal! Grin

I hope they stay in the car for our entertainment do sort out their housing issues though! Grin

StateofConfusion · 20/04/2012 19:03

Well if my 3yo doesn't stop driving me up the wall she will be joining them in the car!!

Sorry touch hormonal.

Me and dp are convinced we saw OG collecting a child from ds school but torrential rain meant neither of us further investigated, the plot thickens.

OP posts:
LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 20/04/2012 15:38

I vote for making a child do it, I would volunteer mine but she can only say a few words and I don't think they would appreciate them Grin

bagelmonkey · 20/04/2012 13:09

Maybe they just moved out of the house into the car to qualify as homeless for a place of their own? Maybe it's worked/won't work so they don't need to do it any more.

Or perhaps it was a bet and they've lasted enough days in the car.

I think we really need to know WHY?

State, your nation needs you. You are going to have to ask them yourself. (or make a child do it.)

StateofConfusion · 20/04/2012 09:46

I'm sorry to day I don't think they are sleeping in it anymore, I will investigate further.

Dp sees the car leave each morning around 7 but can't confirm whether they were already in it or came from the house.

I will find out!

We think OG has a job.

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 20/04/2012 08:44

In this weather??????

An air freshener might be a good idea, can only imagine what it must smell like. Especially when NFN baby comes

LulaPalooza · 19/04/2012 18:46

Heh! Brilliant thread. Just marking my place so I can come back and read it all later.
