It’s a parking one!

Get on fine with house next door. Kids play etc.

About a year ago, her sister started coming to visit every single day. Weekends too. Fine. None of my business.

So we both have double drives and both have two cars. DH also has a motorbike but there’s space to keep it on our drive.

I work from home so I’m out to drop the dc to school then pretty much back for the whole morning. DH is gone in his car from maybe 7am. Motorbike stays on drive until weekends really.

So next door’s sister has a big 7-seater. But she’s taken to partially blocking our drive with it so next door’s car can get in and out.

So she parks up in the morning, partially blocks my drive. And then sometimes they’ll head out in next door’s car and my drive will be blocked.

I can (with ball-achey manoeuvring) get my car on. But if anyone was to visit, or DH was to come home, they couldn’t park on the drive. And they can’t park in front of my house without then blocking other next door’s.

It gives me the fucking rage! It’s so inconsiderate! I’ve said it to next door’s and her answer has been to knock in if I ever need her to move.

DH is so laid back he’s horizontal so he doesn’t see it as a big deal. But it’s just so selfish and irritating.

I’ve come back and parked up right behind her, as in touching the bumper, so I haven’t blocked other next door’s.

WIBU to roll the motorbike out and block her car?? If I put it sideways it won’t block the drive I don’t think.

I hope I’m explaining properly. I need to try to figure out how to post a diagram!

Brilliant, sheer brilliance op 🤣👌

I'm so excited to hear how Olaf gets on in his fist day in his new role. I hope he rises to the challenge and can keep Bull at bay!

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 03/03/2020 09:07

Present and correct for today’s update!

WhatICallMyUsername · 03/03/2020 09:15

This thread is amazing! DS is about to have a power nap whether he likes it or not so I can watch the live updates after school run!

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:17

I’ve never driven home so fast in my life!

She’s not here! Very strange and not at all in keeping with her usual routine.

Maybe she thinks if she changes things up I won’t be around to catch her.

Joke’s on her. I have no life outside of this house. Ha!

I’ll stay here till I die...or until 2.

Garda Olaf is listing a bit to the left. I have a remote control Mario Cart car if Garda Olaf does a poor job.

It’s not great but it has an intimidating Bowser so there may be hope yet.

I can’t believe CF isn’t there! Shock how dare she, we need entertaining! Wink

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:23

She’s stopped and is glaring at Garda Olaf. No respect for authority.

I can practically see the steam coming out of her nose.

I’m literally kneeling at my front window like a gobshite. I have cucumber penis missiles at the ready in case Garda Olaf needs back up.

The manufacturers of the Little Tikes car made a Giant Coupe a few years ago which will fit 6 foot man to celebrate it being the best selling car in the UK.

It’s a parking one!

You need a selfie price list up!!

AriadnesFilament · 03/03/2020 09:25

Photographing Olaf!

😂

Winesalot · 03/03/2020 09:25

Maybe Bull has refused to leave her place and NDN has to go over there. This is a result as well, just not quite as expected.

ilovedjerrymore · 03/03/2020 09:26

Olaf is gonna be famousGrin check your like Facebook sites guarantee he makes an appearance Wink

SweetMarmalade · 03/03/2020 09:26

I think you’ll have to invest in a drone! Get some ‘green army men’ parachuting down on her!

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:26

OhCaptain quickest school run you have ever done ay! The kids are actually in school and not sitting in the back of the car still!?

😂😂 ashamed to say I left five minutes early!

Eldest’s school starts 20 minutes before littlest’s one so I bunged him into the yard and Ussain Bolted back home.
