For starters, I would get into the VIP box in Men's Final Day at Wimbledon.

i would go and watch DS1 at school. he makes me so very sad telling me how he hates school, and no-one will play with him (he's 8)... I'd like to see what he is really like there

TheLostWinchesterWife · 13/08/2013 16:01

Id throw it over all the mess in my house when guests/cold callers/my mother turn up unannounced Grin

MrsMongoose · 13/08/2013 16:03

I'd shoplift. Maybe. Probably not. Though hiding things under it would be very easy.

Ill stop talking now.

Flobbadobs · 13/08/2013 16:03

I would go to DH's work and see exactly what the work/pissing around ration is from 4pm onwards. Nothing seems to be done after that time...
Sneak into somewhere like the Pentagon, 10 Downing st and the White House and have a good look round (would need a broomstick too).

MrsBramStoker · 13/08/2013 16:03

That would be lovely thisis. I'm sure you'd be surprised that he does actually have lots of friends. Children often say no one played with them, but its the way its reported

Hope he enjoys school better after the hols.

Would like to use the cloak to see what my parents really think about us all and our respective husbands/wives!

Can I also pay a visit to Bradley Cooper's bedroom??

RobinSparkles · 13/08/2013 16:05

I'd sneak into people's houses and snoop around. I'd have a good look at everything and go into places I shouldn't ie. gatecrash parties and I would listen to people's conversations.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 13/08/2013 16:07

I would use it to get on a first class flight to a particular far off land and visit a particular person, kick their particular arse down the street and fly back home again.

Lovely.

MrsWeasley · 13/08/2013 16:08

Oh I would wear it all the time and just poke my head or and hand out every now and again! Grin

Goldenhandshake · 13/08/2013 16:14

Oooh loads, I'd spy on DD whilst she is at the childminders, I ahve always wanted to see her in action when I am not around, ditto for DH whilst he is at work.

I would go to every west end theatre show that I have been wanting to see but cannot justify forking the money out for.

I would be highly tempted to sneak into some vaults at Coutts and relieve them of some cash/jewels Grin think i'd be able to do it if I knew any of them belonged to Gideon, Dick Cameron or the ring of banking twats Grin

muppetthecow · 13/08/2013 16:14

Sneak into my incredibly anal MIL's kitchen and move things around see how she likes it Grin

Go into DF's class while he's teaching and write amusing things on the board behind him. (He's a uni lecturer so it wouldn't freak out any littlies)

Ooh! And I'd put whoopee cushions in the benches in the House of Commons Grin

AlpacaLunchYoubringyourbooster · 13/08/2013 16:16

Sneak into anywhere Chris Hemsworth was naked

libertine73 · 13/08/2013 16:17

God, it would be great wouldn't it?

I'd start with snaffling a camper van out of a trade show (assuming the cloak stretches a bit)

I'd defo spy on DS at school and go 'OI!' when he's playing up:)

I always wanted a Bernards Watch

If anyone has a spare, please let me know.

intheduskwiththelightbehindher · 13/08/2013 16:26

Until now I'd have used it to sneak on a plane and go anywhere in the world.
Right this moment I'd follow DP and see what he is really up to......

TheMagicKeyCanFuckOff · 13/08/2013 16:27

Hmm. Probably punch ex a few times without him being able to see me, satisfying.

And check on DD1 because I never know what's going on (although, saying that, she's an older teen with a boyfriend. It's probably better not to know. Or see.)

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 13/08/2013 16:28

FondantNancy · 13/08/2013 16:31

Isn't HP a child? I think I'd be too fat to get his cloak over my whole body. So I would probably just scare children by walking around looking like a frumpy, headless mum.

HoneyDragon · 13/08/2013 16:31

Torment the dog

MrsBramStoker · 13/08/2013 16:33

No fondant methinks one size fits all, including muggles

Sneak into the men's changing room a Nadal-Federer final

I'd probably sit in it (the cloak) for a few weeks days and have some peace.

Go to a Mercedez dealership.and drape my cloak around a swanky two-seater.

Board a plane - first class, of course - to San Francisco and live a little.

Find Daniel Day-Lewis and whisper in his ear, "can I pummel your bum?" repeatedly

I like this thread Smile

Phineyj · 13/08/2013 16:38

I'd also go to no. 10 to see if it is at all like Yes Minister. Although I'd probably just track Benedict Cumbernatch down and follow him around Blush

UserError · 13/08/2013 16:47

Honestly, I'd shoplift. But only from big chains like that makes it better. Blush

Goldenhandshake · 13/08/2013 16:49

Oh I'd also spy in No 10 and reveal the truth about what's said to the media, great fun Smile.

On a more personal basis, i'd probably use it to bump off Jason Staham's girlfriend and kidnap him Wink
