By the sounds of things one of your neighbours has made another thread on here about Mr and Mrs K!!!!!!

nervousfirsttimer1985 · 18/02/2020 12:12

@iswhois can you post the link? This adds a new dimension to alphabet street!

FrostyBamboo · 18/02/2020 12:22

Oooh extra thread gossip!

It's getting quite vicious!!!!

partofthepeanutgallery · 18/02/2020 13:29

My dressing gown is grey and white. Sad

Will be fun if the van is a permanent addition to your end of the street.

So C has gone out and everyone else has returned from work.

We have Mr and Mrs K next to X, B in her perfect 1/2 position, C in 3 AND Strange Car has edged right up to B in 1, slightly in X as it's a teeny car.

And F has gone out. She's left her space open to all!

I hope the van comes back! It seems the van belongs to the person doing up the house, haven't worked out if it's the house occupiers yet and no one seems to have actually moved in properly, just come and go with boxes and do work on it.

The difference in that thread is that the OP has skin in the game and is making a complaint. The OP here is simply observing with a neutral and amused eye, and there is no personal animus in this thread. That's why this thread is such a joy: no crossness.

harriethoyle · 18/02/2020 17:20

@iswhois also that OP did not do a diagram and thus broke the rules AND has two cars in a one adult household! So she's ALLLLLLL kinds of wrong Grin

I love this thread

AND Strange Car has edged right up to B in 1

Yes, but is it touching?

originalcatlady · 19/02/2020 15:53

So. Not quite sure what's going on here...

F left her precious space unguarded. She returned and is now parked halfway across E's drive, for no reason whatsoever. D is right on the edge of his drive too, so he won't be able to get into his drive without asking scary F to move.

B has also returned and is in 1/2. C will be "forced" into X again.

Poor E! How dare F and D park across his drive - poor guy.

Naturally B has got 'her' space - she 's working the early shift this week!
BTW am missing seeing her in her Pink Dressing Gown

originalcatlady · 19/02/2020 17:16

Hmmm maybe it's in the wash

Jojo2wyatr · 19/02/2020 17:55

Must have been quite the emergency for F to have left her spot! Is C back yet, and 'is she touching'?

originalcatlady · 19/02/2020 18:08

No C yet. But she doesn't care about using X so she's fine. Although I prefer it when she beats B to her spot.

Don't we all originalcatlady Grin

Jamandpeater · 20/02/2020 14:31

Any update on F?

originalcatlady · 20/02/2020 19:51

Ooo I must have missed her going out today! It's moved Grin

What? You MISSED her going out?

Shock

Where’s a MN Verbal Warning Emoji when you need one.. eh @MNHQ?

originalcatlady · 21/02/2020 10:27

Haha. Today we have F at home 🙄 and C just returned to take 1/2 🤣. B home after lunch...

AND a workman setting up residence in X/1...let's hope his job lasts a good few hours Grin

OP posts:
sunshinesupermum · 21/02/2020 12:33

Ooh yes - do ask workmen if they need tea/coffee/cake/beer - mind you knowing B she'll just wait at her window and jump into their spot the moment they leave!

originalcatlady · 21/02/2020 13:13

Well she will...but seeing her wait to pounce is pretty priceless Grin

Lweji · 21/02/2020 13:58

Don't you need a budget for some work you've been planning?

Maybe you could call them to quickly look at it. Just as they are about to get in the van.

originalcatlady · 21/02/2020 14:25

B is in 4.
