Didn't you have a thread about this neighbour last year, Annie or am I muddling you up with another poster?

Good advice about wearing headphones Elegran . When my DH was in hospital this last time I took his headphones in so he could pretend to be listening to something as there were a lot of very loud/disruptive patients in his ward.

Good idea that you have a garden bench or maybe a comfy chair Anniebach. I think a bit of fresh air and sunshine might do you good and help lift your spirits too. You cannot let one abusive person to ruin your own life.

Could you have a bit of fencing at right angles to the house, so that you and your bench are concealed from her? It could make it less draughty too.

Wear earphones as though you are listening to music or the radio, and have a book in your hand. If she speaks to you, you can look as though you don't hear her.

Sounds like she’s not the best neighbour to have Annie but I think I’ve missed what you want an opinion on?

Do you want to add a bit more?

My next door neighbour has problems, I have been told drink
and drugs. I have only spoken to her once and have lived here
three years.
Last summer she knocked on my door, she had seen an ambulance at my house the day before, my spine had locked and I needed help to get off the sofa, needed the loo !

She said so many lies, talked about my darling daughter who died, it was really distressing.

Seems she has upset many in the Cul de Sac, they want her
moved from here. She has been moved twice !

Someone from the council called asking if I had problems with her, they gave everyone a log to fill in if she caused any
upset. I didn’t want to be involved, I don’t know what problems she has which causes her to have the addictions.She
has carers twice a day.

I have spoken here about not being able to leave my house. With the self isolation about to start I thought I would have
a garden bench on the front lawn. She sits out the front too.

She is verbally aggressive to the person living next door up to
her.
