Hi to you lot, hope you are all well. Daughter has also stay for another week, so very lucky and having loads of fun with grandson.

Neighbour!!! They are both in their 80's, and have all their marbles, unlike me, missing a few. She does not have dementia either, I know the signs by now. She had me close to tears the other day and OH told her she was not welcome. We have had to start locking our doors when we just go down the street for 5 minutes as have found her here when we get home, last time she was in our garage looking around. I will try to do some gardening and turn around and she is behind me. When OH told her off, she was over the other side of the fence yelling at me.

Ann in glos, have tried the poor me act and it does not work as she is worse than me, so she tells me. Her OH has been heard several times telling her to "shut up for goodness sake". Hard part is I have always had great neighbours, so think I have been spoiled and finding it hard to cope with a bad one, though her OH is really nice.

I think our Sharron is correct with the narcissist theory, the bells are ringing loudly.

Off now to check my curried chicken is cooking nicely.

Love and hugs

Gail

~~~~~~~~~ to our Y/Caz, special gentle hugs for you.

More hugs for Floris Eileen, it sounds as though he is traumatised by his experience poor lad.

Have been trying to catch up on some postings, but there are soooo many...

Thank you Ann & Deanna for asking about poor little Floris. I feel desperately sorry for my daughter too, she sounded completely frazzled this morning, as he cired most of the night, so no sleep for her, of course.She doesn't think it is only due to the pain (that is still bad, but he gets suppositories for this, which help slighty), but the fright he had when police and ambulance workers were seeing to him on the beach, plus, he is scared of moving anything, in case it makes the pain worse.

Hazel, what a dreadful story about your friend and her ex & son...hope she gets everything sorted soon.

Gail, how old is the neighbour? Would a word with her (lovely) husband help do you think?

Have as pain-free and peaceful as possible day everyone.

Hi all i will let you all know how it goes with my mate when i get back next sunday,

Purple sparkly diamond my mate would need a lorry to take his things any where. his family dont want anything to do with him or his son, as have done things to them as well., so cant ask them. But she is getting advice from someone about it all.

His son has alway smashed her bedroom up as well.He is 16.

Eileen, sorry about Floris's leg, poor lad, how old is he. Difficult to keep off it for that length of time though, no matter what age.

Hazel, hope your friend gets sorted out re the ex's stuff, sounds like she is well rid of him.

Gail, strange woman. I should let her know (well make it up!!) that you are often poorly and in need of TLC from a friendly neighbour!

Carole welcome back, hope you had a lovely time.

Deanna, hope the washing machine turned up and that you were able to enjoy your fish and chips in peace!

Eileen, sorry about your boys leg.
Hope he is not in too much pain now.
Deanna XXXX

Hazel, how awful for your friend.
What kind of man is he that he can treat her or anyone like that?
Bless her, I hope all goes well for her, and that she is now well rid of the two idiots living with her.
I am sitting here waiting for my new washing machine to arrive. The phoned to tell me that it would come between 7.00 and 7.00.....how helpful is that?

I am freezing today.... what did you say?.... She is ALWAYS FREEZING!
And your point is??? ha ha ha
Allan has gone down for some fish and chips. We can't start anything in the kitchen, because as sure as 'eggs is eggs' the machine will come the minute we start to cook!

Well, it is nice to see you all back, I don't feel so lonely now, but you all seem to need a hug today.... SO.
((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs for all)))))))))))))))))))

Will see you all later.
Love Deanna XXXX

Hello everyone,

It is a beautiful day so far, should be raining, according to the forcaste.

I see you are back from your holiday in Florida Carole, hope you thoroughly enjoyed yourself?

Colin, I have been living in Holland since 1962, when I was 18. Far too long!!!!

My youngest phoned earlier to say her son Floris, broke his leg on sunday! Poor wee mite, he is not allowed to walk on it for 6 weeks, when it will be examind again to see if he needs surgery.It was a freak accident, he must have twisted it when walking, he didn't fall from a height etc. They had been enjoying a day out at the beach, together with a friend of my daughter and her dog, when this happened.Floris had been playing up, crying a lot, kept lagging behind, only after they got to hospital did they find out that he had a high fever too....it never just rains, does it?He is forever picking up bugs, often has a high temperature....
She was going to phone me yesterday evening, but thought better of it, knowing I would not sleep at all, so waited until this morning.

It is going to be very difficult to keep him from trying to walk when he recovers from the latest bug.......

Must go out to buy a few things for him.

Take care.

Introduce her to your brother!

You must refer her back to the owner of the house about the boundary.It is a matter between them and you and no concern of hers,like the tenancy is between them and her and no concern of yours.

I think,once we have grown up with a narcissist we are like a magnet to all the others,and every other difficult old goat in the area!

Hi everyone. Welcome back Carole ::}}}}

Having great fun with grandson and daughter and her OH staying for awhile.

We have been having some problems with a new neighbour for some time, will fill you in a bit more later, but she is driving me nuts. I feel like I cannot go outside any more unless she corners me. They are renting only. Nothing wrong with that, but she reconds our boundary fence is wrong, we have too much land that does not belong to us etc etc. It was surveyed when we brought the place. We are out 4 feet on one side of another neighbours as the house is the boundary and let them have the land as easier than them asking permission every time they need to do something to their home. I feel really unable to enjoy my home any more due to her constant annoyance. OH told this person off this morning for being too nosey and she was at it again after he went to work. Now she is doing the same to daughter and her OH. It is difficult to explain, she is very intrusive and knows everything. I do not like being rude, but even when I am she takes no notice, that is when you can get a word in. The only thing is the husband is lovely and I suppose we could get worse neighbours. I have also found out that they moved there as they had heard how good we were to our last neighbour, and looked after her. I have been told she expects us to look after her as we did our other neighbour. I loved our last neighbour as a mother/grandmother, nobody could replace her, she was a treasure.

Any one with ideas as to handling this?

Love and hugs

Gail

Home Saturday morning but been so busy and back to work! Promise to try catch up with you all. Hope Liz and Claire had great holidays too. Phoned Joyce last night and had a good chat as always. xx

Hazel, take care, hope those horrible people don't cause your friend any more upset. She should be careful about disposing of their things tho, it could get her into trouble, better if she can get one of their relatives to pick the stuff up or take it to a solicitor who knows them or similar. Or she should get a solicitor to write to them telling where the things are and that she will only be holding them for x amount of time before disposing of them. Might be an idea for her to ask the police or her solicitor if she has one, to advise her the best way to deal with the situation.
Not that they deserve consideration, just wouldn't want to see her in any further trouble over the pair of idiots.

Hi Claire, hope all is well with you. Liverpool seems so long ago, can't believe how fast this summer has gone by.

Lizxx

Hi all
Hope your friend gets sorted out Hazel, what a horrible situation.

Carole, how was the holiday?

Off to bed now, absolutely shattered.
Hope everyone is ok?

Hi everyone just popped on here for awhile.

I am going to my fried for a week on Saturday, to help her pack all her ex boyfriend and his sons things to get rid of them if they dont come back to get them.

They have been right B's to her, with her ending up being arrested the other day and in a cell for almost 4 hrs.

They were very unkind to her when she was having cemo for breast cancer. Taking the micky out of her when she losted all her hair. made her cook dinner when she had had the cemo that day.

So hope all be ok for her now.

{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}

Come on everybody, where are you?
I have not been on for TWO days, and neither have any of you!

Where are you all?
Are you all well?
Hope to see you all this week sometime.

love to all,
Deanna XXXX

Hi everyone,
No Ben... You did not worry me about your connection to the Krays.
I'm sure there must be SOMBODY in my tree that I can threaten you with.....ha ha ha
Hi Colin, Liz, Mary, Eileen.... You don't need to tell me anything. If talking to me helps in anyway, I'm happy.
Liz, sorry I did not phone, but will.....EVENTUALLY! ;-0)
Gotta go for my yoghurt now before Allan eats it!
Deanna XXXXX

When I was working in market research I interviewed a cousin of the Krays.Yes he really was,in fact I looked him up on Ancestry recently just to see if he was one of the many thousands who will claim to have been part of the gang or family.

He is a quiet,self effacing man who would rather keep out of trouble but,of course,having them as cousins,it always came to him.

I liked him.

Course not Ben, we are a brave lot here lol

To think one of the Krays died here in Norwich not so long back.

Lizx

No posts for 3 days from the 13th to the 16th. Did I frighten everyone off about me being related to the Krays? Lol, lol haha.

We went away for three weeks a few years ago.First week I was just wanting to be at home,I don't much like being away,second week was good,third week wanting to see rain desperately and trying not to think about the flight home.I am not afraid of flying but I just don't like it,would rather be somewhere else.
