Do we have time to make a kinder egg where the 'toy' is actually a tiny spy-cam that could provide us with a live video feed from WITHIN the car? Like a Trojan egg.

Although maybe we'd need to bleach our eyes if we saw too much. It could backfire.

TrinityRhino · 25/03/2012 09:48

Bagelmonkey that is a fantastic idea Grin

millimat · 25/03/2012 09:56

Judging by the current weather, how about leaving some things for them to bbq on the car bonnet instead??

Jackin · 25/03/2012 10:18

Trojan egg! Grin

Delurking to say how much I am loving this, thank you State. Did you know that Alan Bennett had an old lady living in a van outside his house for 18 years he wrote a book and a play about her - there's gold in that there jizzwagon...

StateofConfusion · 25/03/2012 12:48

trojan egg is an excellent idea bagel i do however think we would end up wanting to bleach our eyes!

rips im not very technical at all but mumsnet mobile uploading pics is easy, ask me to do it on a laptop and ill stare blankly for 20mins scratching my head, despite owning a computer since i was 4 i appear to be miles behind my 4yr old in navigating one.

On the subject of the 4yo that is why i am so late updating you all, he was busy building sunflower valley and couldnt possibly stop Hmm -- bribed him off with crisps--

update

day 13 in the jizz stinking car, all is quiet, original boy and girl are sound asleep, a knotted bag of takeaway boxes sits outside the door (maybe rodent gate taught them something)

Anyway im off to visit family, i however have few manners and will take my laptop and update you on jizz watch happenings as i load the car and reverse next to it for a really good stare! As soon as i can when i arrive Wink

as it was so nice today you could of cut down said hedge (slowly as to be able to spy and film going ons with a camera hidden in yr sun hat) and we could of arranged amazon delivery of stall for you to stand on to see out window in a bit more comfort. Missed opportunity i feel

I had actually planned to do the front garden today but my DA --(dopey aunt)-- got concussion so were visiting to give her a hand and stay with her whilst my uncles at rugby training.

As we left this morning they were still asleep!!!

I remember reading this thread a week ago and being amazed at how someone could stay in the car. Can't believe it's now double that time...
Is it a huge car?

StateofConfusion · 25/03/2012 23:48

its a bmw hatchback saloon, fairly average sized car.

Not a car you can really stretch your legs in.

This evening they have magazines and are watching something on a phone/handheld console?

Havent been able to check often as I'm feeling a bit rough

therumoursaretrue · 26/03/2012 00:00

Love these updates State! I can't believe how long they have been there now, madness!

Hope your feeling a bit better soon.

StateofConfusion · 26/03/2012 00:26

I have to say i will feel more than a little bit sad when they eventually give in, because they can't there forever, can they?

OP posts:
Bossybritches22 · 26/03/2012 07:21

I would think environmental health or some such busy-clipboard- bearing department will be told eventually & spoil the fun!

Aha lighbulb moment maybe they're trying to get council housing so have to claim they are homeless ??

Jackin · 26/03/2012 07:28

Hope you're feeling better state .

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 26/03/2012 09:34

Oh State, hope you're feeling better.

Are they still there?

autumnchild · 26/03/2012 10:07

I think State was using dopey aunt as excuse.......she's gone to join them in the jizzstinkingcar Grin. at least we'll get "closer to the action" updates

StateofConfusion · 26/03/2012 10:43

Morning all,

Day 14
They are still in the car, still no exciting activity, they're back to just sitting there.

OP posts:
TheNewandImprovedMrsHollywood · 26/03/2012 11:05

It's taken me two days to catch up with this thread and I can't tell you how thrilled I am that they are still there!!

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 26/03/2012 11:09

I hope they move out before you get bored of updating us.

Maybe after all this fornicating she really will conceive and then they'll have to upgrade to a bigger car for the brother and sister mummy and daddy and little NFN baby to live in

Jackin · 26/03/2012 11:15

Or they won't be able to afford the payments on the big car, and have to downsize. Smartcar meybe?

Hebiegebies · 26/03/2012 12:04

Time for another challenge me thinks. You've done the car clean and the rodent, how about

Getting mum to lock them in the car and see how long they take to escape

Giving them the items needed to make planted window boxes ad judging the results

Calling the local news to interview them

Get them to learn all the actions to a popular song and give a display to the neighbours

StateofConfusion · 26/03/2012 13:34

uuuummm, right, either they're reading this thread, messing around or NFN baby isn't as unlikely as we first thought, DP --who i cannot wait to go back to work-- is jet washing the outside of the garage and our front path etc Hmm Original girl is leant on the car and original boy comes over and rubs her belly, dp doing his mumsnet duty calls me, and indeed OB rubs her tummy again...

I will keep a keen eye open for a midwife...

and im loling Grin at the idea of anyone living in a smart car!

Hebies dp wanted to give them a tin of beans, the challenge opening and cooking them with nothing but the car for help... he didnt forward think that one, i broke our tin opener and stabbed open a tin of beans with the padlock key for the garage, because it was long (not one of my finer moments it had been one of those days)

OP posts:
millimat · 26/03/2012 14:11

Maybe its because there's a baby on the way they got kicked out? Could you imagine being pregnant AND stuck in a car?!

BareBums · 26/03/2012 14:21

They must have broke some record by now surely?!
