In her caravan Grin

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 23/03/2012 13:32

Bagel Don't you mean rat trap Grin

zombiewitchdocktor · 23/03/2012 13:42

Does the car have a sunroof? If so - can you get himself to run over there in the cover of darkness (professionals stylee..) and get him to drop a bug bomb in? Won't help much with the smell but might stop any further infestations of bugs/ rodents....

"spunkwatch" GrinGrinGrin
Oh this HAS to go in classics!

GravyAndALumpyMashBaby · 23/03/2012 14:32

Oh hell, I'm miserable on behalf of the manky buggers Grin

It's warm here today. I wouldn't fancy sitting in the car let alone living in it.

Classics please MN Grin

StateofConfusion · 23/03/2012 14:48

eugh, i just popped out in the car and after only sitting in the sun a short while it was so hot and stuffy, i could not stand that for any amount of time! Got my drive back now, blooming iceland! Ocado wouldnt dare park on an empty drive

thesockpuppet if mumsnetters werent scared off by the mere outskirts of this estate I'd welcome you all to join spunk watch with open arms, oooh we could have badges i just got a new sofa with sprung slat sofa bed its ver comfy --comfier than my bed Envy--- so that plus caravan we could have a nice size team.

zombies yes there is a sunroof, im reconing a few more days of full sun and they'll open it, he's happy to drop a bug bomb in if he can throw in some condoms too.

update
they appear to be in the house, one came out briefly to empty some rubbish from the car and went back in. I'll be off out shortly as were taking the dcs out for dinner --asda cafe is bogof on adult meals and kids eat free dontcha know- because i just dont want to cook! and ds has been begging to go in the asda cafe for aaages--
But as the weathers nice me and dp will possibly wash the cars when we get back and the dcs are asleep so ill get some good watching done Grin

Has anybody actually nominated this thread for Classics? Because if not, I am very happy to do so, it has been keeping me amused all week and I keep updating my dh as well.

GravyAndALumpyMashBaby · 23/03/2012 15:05

How do you do that Spamm? Should definetely be in classics!

ThisWeekonFancyPuffin · 23/03/2012 15:14

This should be in Classics. It's fab Grin

NorfolkNChance · 23/03/2012 15:17

I have nominated, it's being reviewed by the Classics Committee I so want to have that job but the more people who suggest it the better. Report the OP and ask if it can go into Classics.

covermeup · 23/03/2012 15:38

I've nominated!

This is the first thread I go on as soon as I log into MN! I HAVE to know the latest update before I can focus on anything else!!

Best thread I've ever read! Grin

RebeccaMumsnet · 23/03/2012 15:55

This has now been moved to Classics

NorfolkNChance · 23/03/2012 15:56

Thanks Rebecca

RebeccaMumsnet · 23/03/2012 16:02

You're welcome

GravyAndALumpyMashBaby · 23/03/2012 16:05

YAY!
You should be so proud State Grin

OnTheBottomWithAWomansWeekly · 23/03/2012 16:08

Yay Classics! (I reported it too!)
There was a Fiat Punto outside my house for 3 months (with a flat tyre) but there was no one in it so I wouldn't have got 465 posts out of it, State you go gurrl!

spamm · 23/03/2012 16:42

Yay - this was so worth it. And I never even got round to reporting it.

ripsishere · 23/03/2012 16:54

See, they should have had one of the cats when it was offered. Neither of them are great hunters, they are good at peeing though. Tom cat piss can be pungent, especially when in the sun. Taht would keep the rats away.

theonlyhb2 · 23/03/2012 17:48

i cant wait to hear what they are gonna do tonight as its friday!

pepperrabbit · 23/03/2012 18:34

well, Friday night is party night!
They may be planning a car-warming party now they've settled in....

ripsishere · 23/03/2012 18:44

Grin how would they throw car keys into a fruit bowl though?

ripsishere · 23/03/2012 18:45

Please let there be a pampas grass patch by the car.

pepperrabbit · 23/03/2012 18:49

I really really hope State is currently crawling through the undergrowth towards them with her night vision swimming goggles on, ready for some serious surveillance.
Would the mumsnet scarf be appropriate camouflage?

Hassled · 23/03/2012 18:56

Am so glad this is in Classics - have been following it for a while now.

You're doing sterling work here, StateofConfusion. We owe you for services to summat. I'm not too far from you (I'm in the City - you know, the proper one - with the Castle and that) and we were planning a forest cycle over the holidays. Will pay more attention to the forest outskirts!

RabidEchidna · 23/03/2012 20:03

As it is Friday night is that not the mumsnet bumsex night, AVOID THE CAR AVOID AVOID
