I'm so glad to know it's not just me that has my knickers in a twist about this. MrsBexie - I hear ya on the getting in and out thing... both for me are a slow process that generally involve a lot of huffing and puffing, sweating, grunting and the occasional swear word and belly grab if I manage to pull something :-/ My parents are meant to be visiting at Christmas and I know full well they will expect me to drive them around and spend days out shopping with them. If I'm feeling like this at 33 weeks I think at 37 weeks I'll be telling them to get stuffed

I was parking across the line a bit for a while even though its naughty but now with Christmas so close finding a park is such a nightmare as it is, let alone a place where I can be naughty and park across the line! Am getting in touch with the local council for sure but wouldn't it be great if the space issue was raised at a higher level? Ah, we can live in hope.
