Returned. Sitting in her car...maybe hoping C will go for the school run soon?

Be neighbours
Neighbourly and ask C if you could give her a lift for the school run

HelloBambinos · 02/03/2020 15:01

I would say I'm shocked at Bs obvious 'I'm waiting for you to move to steal your space' action but I'm not.. Please give c a lift op ha. I would love for her to get a lift instead or for someone else to drop the kids off.. The look on Bs face would be magical

Just for a bit of light relief, have any of you seen the most recent parking thread? Just the OP's posts are brilliant, but a lot of good commentary, as well! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3837189-It-s-a-parking-one?pg=1&messages=100

She waited until C drove off and moved into "her" space!

Then a big white van came and parked in 2/3 and she had the nerve to ask which house he was going to and how long he would be!!!

Shes something else isnt she

how old is her car op? just wondering as doing small backwards and forwards movedments isnt good you got to let it run sometimes-well my older car had a problem if its newer it might not matter

originalcatlady · 02/03/2020 17:19

D is now home and sitting in his car kind of at the end of my drive, presumably waiting for white van to move.

OP posts:
HelloBambinos · 02/03/2020 22:42

Is D still sat waiting for the van to move 😂

HelloBambinos · 02/03/2020 22:42

It wouldn't surprise me with this lot to be fair

originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 06:25

Haha he lasted a good half hour and then got "his" spot.

Endlessly entertaining this parking thread 😁

originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 10:15

B either didn't go to work or used a taxi...trying to believe there is more to that than saving her space but I wouldn't be surprised 🤣

C waited in her car until D left, and is now in 3.

There is also a Strange White Car in 4...this is going to be the best part of today Grin

I wonder if C is on here.

OnlyLittleMissOrganised · 03/03/2020 13:04

My husband has just suggested M rents their drive to one of the others!

originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 13:06

I love that people discuss this with their husbands!
M uses their drive all the time, they have loads of visitors.

Well it is an awesome thread! I am constantly checking for updates being on maternity leave this thread passes the time when feeding!

DartmoorDoughnut · 03/03/2020 14:16

Endless entertainment, thanks OP Grin Brew

@originalcatlady
Too bad white van man 🚐wasn't touching Mrs.Bs ..then she could've really let him have it🗣Grin
🤣mr.D. waiting for his "spot"...he could've parked 6 blocks away and had a leisurely walk home and would've gotten in his house quickerGrin

Sissymate2 · 03/03/2020 15:48

@originalcatlady @OnlyLittleMissOrganised

My DH looks🧐 at me like I'm a nut🤪 when I try to let him in on the fun of Alphabet street....He just has no sense of humour at all🤣

originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 16:26

Ooo D is sitting in X with engine running. A is on his way out...

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 16:28

Also just realised that both D and C are almost touching B. She's gonna be fun at 5am Hmm

OP posts:
OlaEliza · 03/03/2020 16:29

Please say he told him off for being in his spot!

originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 16:30

He's knocking on his drivers window saying he can't park there and pointing at his sign. D is ignoring.

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 16:30

A is now knocking on B's door...

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 03/03/2020 16:31

I think I need to pop to DS room!
