New Neighbours

[Barmaid]

If you have new neighbours move in, do you go and introduce yourself? If you move into a new place, do you go and make yourself known to the neighbours?

I've been in my new house 3 weeks. I thought I should make myself known. The ones directly opposite have 20 dogs. They are quite a nice couple, although I mean, 20 dogs? The ones next door are very sweet, although they let their HUGE labrador/retriever hump me and I now have a hole in my leggings. OK, so that broke the ice. And then the others in the big house across the road, well ******* me, he answered the door in his underpants and said his wife was in the shower and would I like to come in. Errr no, perhaps it is an inconvenient moment and I'll pop back.

You try to be neighbourly, you wish you hadnt.....

LOL!! Awww x

I'd move again, if I were you!

we had a casserole, pecan pie and a bottle of wine delivered on evening one by our neighbours in the States...very nice of them and in that sense the Americans can be more hospitable.

I'd have to suss them out a while before introducing myself barmaid, if at all. I'm pretty reclusive x

[Barmaid]

I heartily wish I had done this BEFORE I unpacked the damn boxes. I actually have a hole in my leg from the bloody labrador For Funks Sake.

^ Hee hee!!

[Tilly2]

Are you out in the sticks, in a really strange little community?

[tamborine]

no thanx, thats why I have high fences & cctv to keep the beggars out....enter at your peril as Porky & Gabby await you.

[Captain2]

So we can expect you on 'Neighbours from Hell' pretty soon then?

[Tilly2]

It's the people in the big house across the road that I'd be wary of. Very strange that!

[Eleena]

Two doors down from you .. :0?

Tilly - BM passed this sign on her way -

"Welcome to Royston Vasey. You'll never leave!"

She'll be one of the "locals" soon... ;-)

Snap, Eleena :-)

I was nice to one of my neighbours and then she did something horrible - she asked me to babysit one night. I am not keen on children and this was a baby.

When she moved out the DWP people came to see me about her fraudulent claim. I had to give them a statement about her. I would normally have said no but seeing as DWP was my employer I was sort of stuck. It never got to court - not sure what the full situation was as I avoided it at work.

Apart from that all seems fine.

[Tilly2]

Oh dear. Time to make a sharp exit.

I posted a photo of mink/pine marten here earlier & showed it to my customers. They have taken it upon themselves to report the finding to Wildlife Trust! Am not allowing troops of townies in to track down my rare lil friend.

Hmmmmm......20 dogs......a humping lab........a man in underpants....

Right......in that situation I'd go outside early tomorrow morning.... bed hair.....baggy tee shirt....big socks.....pompom slippers......

I'd stride around.....twitching and catching and eating imaginary flies.......

That way I'd know they were never going to call on me with dogs in tow......or trouserless........

Now.....pour wine and relax!......☺

Lie in king ;0)

We moved here thirty years ago, the neighbours were very good. I think the Labrador just wanted to be friendly, I would keep an eye on him though, for your legs sake.

Immediately either side and one beyond them... introduce yourself... it's neighbourly. Beyond that, **** 'em.
