To block this car in...

I'm at my mum's. she lives on a a fairly narrow hill, you can park on the road but it's best if you park half on the pavement. I'm going camping for the weekend with friends who are coming to pick me up in an hour. I've just popped to the shops for supplies of crisps and wine and some cheeky bugger has parked on my mum's drive.

I've text all my family and no one has any knowledge of this car. Would I be a total arse to just reverse onto the drive right upto their bumper and leave my car there for the weekend? I really don't want to leave my car half on the pavement for a whole weekend. A few of the NDNs have double buggies and there won't be enough room for them to pass. I also don't want to leave my shiny lovely car under the tree on the road cos it will be covered in bird poo and tree sap when I get back.

Mum is also away this weekend too so I can't even leave the keys. Grrrrrr.

Can't believe OP hasn't updated...doesn't she care about us any more? (Wails)

BumpAndGrind · 16/08/2014 23:49

I may have missed it, do we know if she definitely blocked the car in or not?

knittedslippersx2 · 17/08/2014 00:15

Are you kidding me! 27 pages, I've just sat and read. 27 bloody pages about a car in a sodding drive and I'm left hanging!

Singsongmama · 17/08/2014 00:35

Bumpandgrind - yes she did, sister was waiting for phone call back from police.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 17/08/2014 00:45

Didn't she say her sister could update for her?

AlpacaYourThings · 17/08/2014 00:49

I need to know who owns this car!!

[serious face]

BoneyBackJefferson · 17/08/2014 01:16

The op is going to be stunned at how ridiculously long this thread is when she gets back :)

Is no one else worried that it might be full and she won't be able to post?

TheysayIamparanoid · 17/08/2014 02:54

I have spent hours reading threads today, sleep now to dream about cars Grin

Lweji · 17/08/2014 03:02

At this rate the thread will be 1000 posts before she updates. Maybe PM her instead?

Lamu · 17/08/2014 03:27

Ahem.

ADishBestEatenCold · 17/08/2014 04:08

Middle of the night and here I am. Checking if that car's still there!

MooseBeTimeForSpring · 17/08/2014 04:58

There had better be some sort of resolution by the time I wake up or I'm going to be mightily pissed off! It's 9:57pm here and I'm off bed. Night all!

KillashandraRee · 17/08/2014 07:19

Misss please come back and update

CadleCrap · 17/08/2014 07:37

Do we know when OPs due back?

Just so I can, y'know, plan my day around possible updates.

The trouble with these sorts of threads is that the update is never as satisfying.

eddielizzard · 17/08/2014 09:44

i guess there's no wifi at the campsite!!

gordyslovesheep · 17/08/2014 09:48

And yet she said there was excellent wifi when she posted from the campsite on Friday Hmm

Also rather than 12454345 marking my place posts why don't people just watch the thread?

It's Sunday and I am cross!

FunkyBoldRibena · 17/08/2014 09:49

Even if there is no wifi [and sometimes at campsites they say there is and when you get there it is pants] there is always a wetherspoons nearby. Selfish of the OP not to update.

SecretNutellaFix · 17/08/2014 09:54

How can she update if she is at a campsite and hasn't returned to the house?

PlacidApricots · 17/08/2014 10:32

Calm down everyone and stop blathering on, else there will be no space for when OP does come back and update. FGS aren't you all grown ups, I know I marked my place but I did it hastily and regret it now, I should have just clicked watch this thread....come on guys eh!

Snapespotions · 17/08/2014 10:35

The OP might not come back at all!Wink
