Really don't want to out myself to everyone, but I'm not far from a rather large forest --ridiculously priced parking, adventure play areas go ape etc--, and think dads army.

Everyone in the cars still asleep.

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm in East Anglia! I have been watching this thread but didn't think I had anything to contribute, until now! Can we all come round for afternoon tea, State?

Afraid not Mme, I'm in east anglia.

Although I do think a group of Mners would be just the thing to --terrify-- move them on.

Well I have some idea Grin but he's too much of a cleanliness freak to manage this kind of stunt haha!

Had a quick nose but dp called through, "state, I can hear you climbing onto the bath you know, do NOT expect me to protect you when your noticed"

I told him I was stretching

Anyway, original teen has friends over it seems, and someones brought a laptop. --checks wifi security--

I'll report back on the school run.

This is madness on a stick! Can you imagine being married to someone this stubborn and sulky?

However, very entertaining for us Grin

Barebums luckily for the sake of my curtain twitching our side of the road has the garages in front of the houses so I'm set back from the road a fair way, --not so lucky when I want a good nose and eavesdrop--

Dp was most annoyed at me, I got the look the kids get when they totally ignore him.

I'll have another snoop when I drag my sorry arse to bed.

Sorry, I bloody well woke the dcs when peering outside, knocked a whole basket of toiletries into the bath

Seems they were reving the engine to charge the battery Hmm as the radio being on kept flattening it, would explain the brief trips out (I assume they'd get fuel then)

In short neighbour thinks they are "a bunch of fucking weirdos and could you fuck off an be weird on edinburgh close as that's where the weirdos usually appear"

And then I knocked the basket.

I'm sorry, I've let you all down with my clumsiness.

MmeLindor. · 19/03/2012 23:26

how long will a tankful of petrol last if they aren't actually driving? Do they have the engine running a lot?

HepHep · 19/03/2012 23:11

There's been shouting outside and dp won't let me go and look, he's said ill end up getting shouted at or worse.

I tried saying I need something from the car. He's hidden the keys.

Sayes its for my own good, and mumsnets a terrible influence on me!

smeared we've seen him around plenty since moving here, and the cars always been around.

QOD that sounds hilarious and interesting at the same time, I want to see that, I really do. Dp wants to offer them dds ninky nonk pop tents, just for a change of scenery.

We once went camping and whilst sitting in our car rather bored one windy evening the 2 guys were smoking joints and friend and I just got accidentally stoned someone arrived with an old cortina and an awning.
Never seen the like. they pitched it across the car, then, whilst she was inside presumably setting up beds in boot? he was pegging it down. Became apparent she was trapped inside. Omg I don't know how we didn't die of laughter, he had to unpeg and help her out the window, they then went off to the pub, as they nonchalantly strolled off he pointed a remote over his shoulder and BOINK . . . . Car/tent alarm was set.
Sooooooooo wish I could remember where the photos are!!

Maybe this is their son?

smearedinfood · 19/03/2012 20:25

Perhaps they couldn't afford a hotel for a family wedding and have lost their wallet

I'm sorry kenobi but occasionally the thought crosses my mind that whilst I'm snooping someone is snooping on me and the dcs raiding the kitchen bin for there next meal whilst i twitch the curtains, and they will jump to the conclusion that I have a deep rooted love for double glazing.
