Unwanted visitor

[Lindylou]

Not sure what to do about this! The lady who used to own the house I live in (she sold it to us nearly three years ago) has started coming around in the late evening (8.45pm last night). She wants me to let her in so she can see 'what you've done to the house'. I suspect she's been drinking but as she's in her mid to late seventies I'm not completely sure. Her speech could be slurred owing to a stroke or something. I really don't want this. Last night I had to get out of a lovely, hot, relaxing bath as she kept knocking the door! I stood there wrapped in a towel, dripping water and she just kept on and on about how she enjoyed living here. I have no intention, whatsoever, of letting her in. Am I being mean? I'm just worried that if I let her in I'll never get rid of her!

It sounds as though she has alziemers.Don`t let her in or you`ll never get shot. Is she in a nursing home where you could have a word with someone. W e have a woman who keeps turning up outside and my daughter tells her I don`t live here anymore. You might have to be firm and tell her to go, but Its the only way. I know how you feel I get to screaming point when I see her. If needs be I`m sorry but I would get nasty with her if needs must.

Don't think its dementia. Alcohol maybe. I worked with the RR team (NHS) for several years and she doesn't appear to be dementing.

get a spyhole fitted.

if it continues, you could actually try letting her in to see what you have done...?

- let her get it out of her system - perhaps she is just very curious and feeling nostalgic...
