Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

So NC for this as not sure if neighbours are on here.

I am off today & woke up to the sound of doors banging and loud voices.

Have a glance out of bedroom window & there are 2 vans & a land rover parked on my ACTUAL drive!

Now I guess it's easily mistaken as a public car park Hmmso don't say anything immediately but once I'm up and toddler is dressed I go downstairs to see.

My next door neighbours are away on holiday. But of a weird driveway as their house has its own but it's round the back of ours and ours is at front so if you use sat nav it brings you to ours as their house is other side of our driveway ifyswim.

Diagram to show you what I mean.

Anyway they are unloading tools etc onto big sheets on my drive and walking over grass to neighbours

I said to them it was a private drive and could they move onto neighbours and they said they won't be long Angry

I was too shocked to say much more than 'no please move now'

Grrrrrrr!

Clearly your house is the most attractive house on the street and your neighbour’s visitor was too embarrassed for anyone to know she was actually visiting your neighbours shabby house so she parked at your beautiful house incase anyone who knows her passed and saw her car.

I hope she's been an moved it, your neighbour is batty if she thinks it's ok to let friends do this.

MrsMozartMkII · 08/08/2019 21:35

You live in a very odd place lass...

Apolloanddaphne · 08/08/2019 21:32

So all your neighbours are CF?

siriusblackthemischieviouscat · 08/08/2019 21:29

So after all you went through yesterday, that your neighbour knows about she thinks it's ok for her friend to park on your property?!

lovesapinot · 08/08/2019 21:29

Yup.

I asked her why our drive and not outside hers and she said oh I'll get her to move sorry.

I mean?! Clearly I have walkover written all over me Angry

Hmm
lovesapinot · 08/08/2019 21:25

I'm in bed so no access to pens.

Went out earlier (to get Pinot) so obviously gates were open for ease. Came back and there is a red car in the drive!!!!

I text nice wine drinking neighbour and ask what the F and had she seen anything & she replies "oh yeah it's Janet's car she's just popped to see me, we are in hot tub come round"

I am like ???!!!??!!!!!???!!!!!

Now I'm thinking has Janet the hot tub lover been parking on our drive weekly when she comes for her sessions?!

@PoppingOneOutIn2020 oh an excellent diagram! Maybe your DH is the tradesman from yesterday?! Hmm

I'm sorry to hear that cats/husbands/dogs/small children have gone hungry whilst you've been reading my ramblings! Who'd have thought my normal boring Wednesday would have had such an impact I'm genuinely shocked lol!

Now there WAS a slight development tonight.....
