I know I'm being unreasonable

she may be a nice person

How stupid......moving in, dressed in high heels......! The dog sounds gormless too....!

She will just be directing everyone else in case she breaks a nail......... hope she is not a Gran or I am in trouble

I did say I was being unreasonable Glass Oh and she's not young, in her mid fifties I've been told - it didn't ought to be allowed!!

Will you miss your old neighbour Zeph.

Ohh look at the time I am going to be late for work, speak to you later

Hello, I've just moved in next door to a lady called Zephrine. She seems very nice. Hahahaha just kidding!

Yes I will miss her a lot, she was the first person who knocked on my door and introduced herself after we moved in. We are the same age and had both just retired. We have had some hysterically funny times since then like the dinner party she gave when the first course hadn't worked, as she sat down after serving the main course her chair gave way and then the dessert curdled. We were helpless with laughter. She will eventually be moving back into the same town but on the other side so it won't be 'just finished mowing the lawn do you fancy a cuppa'

No, it's not that side

I think you're being a bit hard on the dog Zephrine. Just because he's little doesn't mean he's silly.

Ah, you are missing your lovely neighbour. But don't judge a book by its cover. I know you know that really.

I burst out laughing to myself when I read that bit about your friend's chair giving way and then her dessert curdled! That just appeals to me - I could picture it!! She'll miss you as well, without a doubt!

O.K. Absent I'll give the dog a chance

Green the funniest thing really was that her partner couldn't see what was funny and sat there with a perfectly straight face whilst three of us convulsed. Every time I looked at his mystified face it set me off again!

If you see a post in a month or so that says "Just seen our new neighbours moving in - crusty old couple who look completely ga-ga. The removal men have just carried her in on a chair and she's banging away on her laptop already! Hope they're not incontinent"... that'll be our new neighbours - probably!

Zephrine, will you be making the first move and inviting in for a cup of tea/glass of wine, or wait for her to make the first move. Does she have a partner? if yes, he is a fit, tanned toy boy? You never know, she might be on Gransnet!!!

High heels and tight jeans...............am I right in thinking that thats a bit 'Essex'......I have no idea because around here everyone's idea of dressing up is to wash the muck of your wellies!

Zephrine you know the old thing about "never judge a book by it's cover"?

Having said that, when looking for a book to read, I can't stand anything flashy, obvious or such, so who am I to comment!

Sorry to hear that you are losing a neighbour who seems to have become a good friend, I too laughed at the srory of the curdled desert etc, it would seem as if her partner wasn't on the same wavelength, his loss!

Hattie yes she has a partner, sadly not a fit tanned boy and yes I will go and introduce myself.

Hilda Mmm very Essex and I should know I lived there for years!

Have you met her yet Zephrine? I hope you find that you have misjudged her and she becomes a good neighbour and even a friend. Pat the dog, but check with his mistress first.

...are the high heels, white?

....so long as the partner hasn't got a heavy gold chain round his neck and a spot-the-join on the top of his head . I bet they are lovely people - I'm a shocker for jumping to conclusions - usually the wrong ones.

Oh Zephrine just read post about the antic's at the dinner party I would be unable to stop laughing it's a good job it was not on Come Dine with Me,let's hope your new neighbour's are as nice and that the dog is lovely as well,have you met them yet ?

we breathed a sigh of relief when our neighbours from hell moved, then got some even worse. first week, big domestic, both charged with assult, baby taken into care. shouldn't think either of them are over 21yrs.housing assoc. house like ours but we are married!!!You know what they say, better the devil you know.
PS I'm an essex gran, used to wear stillettos, more elastic stocking these days!
