I find people very selfish in that repsect op especially when theres people waiting here to see what happens

HelloBambinos · 27/02/2020 21:11

Imagine how smug B will be if there is her space available.. She will strut to her house twirling her keys in her hand.. MR B waiting at the door with a cuppa and her dressing gown for her to put in... We cannot allow it!

olbndansmummy · 27/02/2020 21:15

Where are the K's? Don't they realise how many mners are relying on Alphabet street being full by 10 pm this week?

originalcatlady · 27/02/2020 21:30

There must be a party somewhere we haven't been invited to.

They may all arrive home 5 minutes before B and claim all the spaces.

Lweji · 27/02/2020 21:59

Or... they're luring her into a false sense of security and then block her in "almost touching".

newnameallround · 27/02/2020 22:27

I have read all three threads over the last couple of days!! I love this!!

TeetotalKoala · 27/02/2020 22:44

Gah. She's going to be so smug tonight.

originalcatlady · 27/02/2020 22:49

She's smug. She's lined up with her door. Nothing to see here.

OP posts:
TeetotalKoala · 27/02/2020 22:54

Did she skip inside. Or just give a satisfied nod?

Gogolego · 27/02/2020 22:57

All is right in the world of Mrs B.

On mn everything is out of kilter because there wasn't any drama

Hippopotas · 27/02/2020 23:17

I don’t know why I love this so much but I really do

DdraigGoch · 28/02/2020 00:45

We need things to go right for B once in a while so that she doesn't get used to parking down the road.

BruceAndNosh · 28/02/2020 08:34

Yes, good that she can get her spot for a day or two just to ramp up the "I THOUGHT this was all sorted. It's UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!" when the only space left is a bumper touching 2

sunshinesupermum · 28/02/2020 10:20

The Street let us all down last night! Where were the K's for a start? Boo.

purplecorkheart · 28/02/2020 11:43

Can you imagine the relief Mr B must have felt last night when the spaces were free.

mrsBtheparker · 28/02/2020 14:06

How quiet! Roll on the weekend, no shifts, and visiters should liven things up.

originalcatlady · 28/02/2020 18:14

Tonight we have just C in 1/2 and F in 4. Awaiting everyone else before we decide if this will be exciting 😬

OP posts:
TeetotalKoala · 28/02/2020 19:08

Love that C has decided to be passive aggressive again.

sunshinesupermum · 28/02/2020 19:12

Love C!

originalcatlady · 28/02/2020 19:36

She's hardly ever here but at least when she turns up, she plays along.

D has now arrived and is Almost Touching C!

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 28/02/2020 20:50

She must have had a tip off. She's arrived home early and made a swift entry into X/1.

She's pretty much Touching C though. Let's hope C doesn't need to be the first to go out tomorrow!

OP posts:
Lweji · 28/02/2020 20:54

I wonder if C and D are in collusion or on a separate parking war.

originalcatlady · 28/02/2020 21:16

I very much suspect the latter.

OP posts:
HelloBambinos · 28/02/2020 21:32

It's still funny she arrived home early but still didn't get her space.. Did she look smug or outraged at C's audacity
