There will be a guaranteed sequel!!!!!!!!

AdoptAdaptImprove · 15/02/2020 13:11

Do we need a sweepstake on how long it’ll be before Mrs B goes over to read them the ‘rules’?

originalcatlady · 15/02/2020 13:13

Even A is on his doorstep watching. Maybe they'll all go. I think they'll wait for F to return though.

Where have they moved in to?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 15/02/2020 13:18

I don't know if that is the reason for them moving out (or at least a consideration), but I wonder if it's occurred to Mrs B that, in driving out existing neighbours who do understand her 'requirements' (albeit they can never fully achieve her very high standards) and having them replaced by new unknowns, whom she will have to harry and browbeat educate all again from scratch in order that her rules be adhered to, she's only making a rod for her own back.

I presume that, as soon as the new neighbours put the tiniest foot wrong, she'll be straight over there in her fluffy dressing gown to give them a huffy dressing down Grin

WriteronaMission · 15/02/2020 13:27

Oh please tell me the new neighbours are on MN to join in with the fun. I'm disappointed that the Ks have decided to play by the rules.

originalcatlady · 15/02/2020 13:28

Next door to H. It's a rented property and I think they wanted a bigger home. It doesn't have a drive.

I don't know exactly what happened but they used to have a car and then B and F complained to the council that it was too noisy and he was tinkering with it all the time. It soon vanished and they never had a car again after that.

In her dressing gown at 1pm???? She's gotstyle

originalcatlady · 15/02/2020 13:36

B has gone out. C has moved her car to 1/2 Grin

ChoccyJules · 15/02/2020 13:47

Why was B watching if she already had her chosen space/s?!

Go C! (Totally a MNetter)

Just as an aside, me and a friend are going to see Priscilla tonight (for the third time, we go every few years) and have some rather excellent shocking pink feather boas to wear. Made me think of B.

originalcatlady · 15/02/2020 13:53

Because there's new cars threatening her rule!

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 15/02/2020 13:54

And she doesn't have it any longer 🤣

B is back. She's managed to get into X/1 without too much drama! She is most definitely touching...

I wanna move into this street. Just for shits and giggles.

Me and my Picanto would love to ruin people's day.

TheMobileSiteMadeMeSignup · 15/02/2020 16:02

Oooooh the excitement of some new vehicles!!!!! Grin

originalcatlady · 15/02/2020 16:08

C has vacated the space. B was out before her engine had even started. Watched her drive off...and didn't move her car 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Well, I think @originalcatlady needs to buy a dozen tiny toy cars in different colours so she can place them in the appropriate spaces on her diagram as the 'parking place waltz' happens.

Then she can post the pictures along with her commentary.

Letstalkabout6 · 15/02/2020 16:22

@originalcatlady can you do a new diagram please. I'm old and confused 🤷‍♀️🥴

BinkySodPlop · 15/02/2020 16:26

Oooo - like those boards and "pushers" they used in the WWII films!

MovingBriskyOn · 15/02/2020 16:35

Laughing at the mental image of those WWII films but with the officers wearing pink dressing gowns over their uniforms

RainbowAlicorn · 15/02/2020 16:53

Oooh new players, this should get interesting.

sunshinesupermum · 15/02/2020 18:08

Oooh I haven't checked the thread all afternoon - how exciting - NEW NEIGHBOURS and C parking in 1/2.

Originalcatlady new diagram is a must, please!

Across thePond55 we all need to buy these different coloured car and perhaps a board to move them on every time there is an update?
New board game MrsBsPinkDressingGownGame?
