To decorate my neighbour’s new ‘no parking outside my door’ signs with a bit of tinsel?

The sign glows in the dark. It is rather large and looks awful.

I love your tiny clamp on Santa's car.

If anyone doesn't get presents, we know who to blame - Twackie's neighbour!

The teenagers are on board now! They recognised some of the angry mob and looked at me with awe! We bonded over tinsel tonight

Will you marry me?

You actually could marry Wauden - your DH won't notice until you go away to celebrate your 25th anniversary with your new spouse.

I'm going to read this thread every Christmas!

Twas the days before Christmas,
And the sign had gone up,
There was to be no parking,
not even a truck...

Are they still there? Are you going to do a “No meat Veganuary” sign?

2nd January and I've only just found this.... Absolutely brilliant and well done for making so many people smile and laugh! ❤️
I'm left with a couple questions though = Does he know it was you? And can you carry it on through the year ie valentines day, Easter bunny, St Patrick's day etc etc?

This will keep me chuckling all day now ☺️☺️☺️

Sorry I have not replied, Wauden and I were on honeymoon, fun police husband didn’t notice. I’m sorry you’re having a tough time ohtheholidays hope it’s the first smile of many in 2019 Flowers
No I’m not planning any further ‘action’, just basking in the anonymous glory of the neighbours still talking about who ‘that nutter’ was. I blame mumsnetters, it was peer pressure.

Is the Easter bunny going to have any fun this year?

I’m sorry to rehash your thread, somebody linked it on another thread.

Please make this an annual thing!

In fact, I think all MNers should choose a grinchy neighbour and spread the stealth cheer!!
