I am bored. Help me prank my friend.

No i don't have anything better to do. Yes I am childish.

That said me and my best friend have a long running game where we like to prank each other. Very small scale stuff. Most recently this has taken the form of sending each other postcards from wherever we are with daft messages on them.

It started when i went on holiday and sent her a postcard as promised. Then she went away and forgot to send me one. So the next time i was away (not anywhere vaguely exciting) i sent her a narky one bemoaning my lack of postcards. Then she bombarded me with daft cards saying how much she loved me and was my bestest ever friend.

Now I'm stuck. What can I do or send her.....

I know mn is full of evil geniuses (genii?)...please help me Grin

Cut up some brown card or paper in shale of the letter 'E' then pop them in a cake box labelled "the best brownies in the world"

Send to your friend.

If you'd like one from Oxfordshire, let me know.

ApocalypseNowt · 31/08/2014 19:00

Yep - that's the idea Crackedhouse!

It says a lot that it took me a full minute to get that Titsalinabumsquash!

This thread is amazing :o

I was at a new friend's house recently and she mentioned something to her husband about meeting up with Janet and Roy - I nearly blurted out "OMG are you a mumsnetter?" Blush

Brilliant! Postcard going Tuesday, it'll take about a week.

squaretoes · 31/08/2014 20:00

Please can I join?? PM me your friends address, I will send a super boring one from a northern town :)

ThisFenceIsComfy · 31/08/2014 21:17

Looking forward to your friend's reaction.

When I did it my friend only received two letters before texting me asking what delightful insult I was sending this time. I'm an awesome friend Grin

Her postman's going to be a bit Confused !

RumAppleGinger · 01/09/2014 10:50

Just dropped it in the postbox - greetings from Edinburgh! Should be with your friend tomorrow, let the confusion commence.

ApocalypseNowt · 01/09/2014 11:38

Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Sent, I found a truly brilliant postcard of our local bus station!!

Tallypet · 01/09/2014 18:47

Please PM me the address - this is fantastic! I'll send postcard tomorrow - I have a particularly boring attraction in my village that I'm sure will have just as shitty interesting postcards.

I can't wait for Janet and Roy Grin

ApocalypseNowt · 01/09/2014 20:18

squaretoes I love it! Why oh why does a postcard of that even exist!? I so wish i could be there to see my friend's face when she gets it Grin

Mine goes tomorrow or Wednesday depending on when I can get to the library. Oh yes my postcard is so boring, I buy it from a library.

squaretoes · 02/09/2014 10:57

That was my reaction, why, just why?!? Although, not to give anything away about the truly exciting place I live, said bus station is a listed building!!

Surround her front door with cups of water whilst she is out. A flat mate did this to me whilst I was in bed asleep once. Took me ages to leave the room!

ApocalypseNowt · 02/09/2014 21:07

Oh god...this is too funny. Just had a phonecall from my friend. She has received a postcard from Herefordshire (I think). It had a pile of pebbles on the front. Nigel had been to the town centre which was 'small' (he gave it 4 out of 10). Nigel also wondered if he left his penis extender at her house. Dennis said hi.

I can't stop laughing. She thought it was hilarious and it's only the first one. She is now phoning her mum to tell her about it.

AndIFeedEmGunpowder · 02/09/2014 21:59

This thread is making me cry with laughter. So silly!

eatscakefornoreasonwhatsoever · 03/09/2014 16:06

I am so proud my Nigel is the star of this prank. Do let me know if you need any more postcards sent. I missed the boat with the first batch!

hotfuzzra · 03/09/2014 17:50

I've sent mine today. Love this idea so much!

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 03/09/2014 20:18

PM me if you want another card sent.

zoobaby · 03/09/2014 20:56

Hilarious. Apocalypse how many do you expect to arrive (how many PMs have you sent)?

QOD · 03/09/2014 21:20

Haha!
