Can't Believe It

[jennyjoan]

Every year I take my next door's neighbour/good friend - kiddies stuff for Xmas - She comes and gets on Xmas Eve.


However last week her sister in law said - oh you have some stuff of mine in your bedroom and I need it now. Now this sis law has never been in my house, - she came over to the house and because I couldn't find what she was asking - I had to ask her to come up and get it. I view my upstairs bedrooms - very private.


Tonight said neighbour came over and wanted some more stuff so I said - is that it - this is yours - oh no this is for another cousin. Well, isn't anybody haven't a larf.


She is coming on Xmas Eve - she has key (authorised by me) - she will pick her own stuff.

I breathe in and out


I couldn't do what she has done. Could you

[PankySmooch]

No I don't have a key

[Retrochic]

sorry jenny but what has she done?

[ummmm]

I don't understand.

[jennyjoan]

I just thought it was a bit of an imposition - asking me to hold on to two cousins toys and her own without saying to me.

[scorpiojo]

Has your neighbour been storing other people's stuff at your house?

[Psybbo]

Conne, I don't understand, are these presents you neighbour has bought for her sister in law?

[Peter Pedant]

cant understand it Jay jay bt then I am a man

neighbour's sis in law invaded your space ..... got that bit - altho my bedroomo is not a sanctified area in my house

and then the neighbour came over ... and i lost it

but the upshot was that the neighbour sister in law had lied to you (?)

TBH happens every day to me and I put it down to experience

[jennyjoan]

Scopio - got it right

[-Talbot-]

You mean you didn't spot the Space Hopper and the Chopper bike in your bedroom?

I'm lost between houses, rooms and keys, never mind who is who..... I must have had too little to drink.

[Dahlia_Lama]

I understand. You feel you're being used as Santa's Grotto for all and sundry.I agree with you, my personal space is private and I wouldn't want people abusing my personal space.
Not much you can do this year but don't be so generous with your space next year.

/// asking me to hold on to two cousins toys and her own without saying to me.///

How did she ask you without saying to you?

[Retrochic]

jenny - so you let your neighbour hide the kiddies toys in your spare room until xmas -thats really nice of you. Now you realize that they are not only her childrens toys but those of her immediate family too - unless they are coming into your home uninvited I can't really see a problem.

[DTCwordfan]

On the basis of what scorpy has suggested, yes I could - I could be hiding pressies for them to make CD something special. I would be loathed to hand my key out though.

[jennyjoan]

Well, because I just let her leave everything upstairs - in this Room - my computer room. I just took for granted it was ALL HERS. She has been doing for so for about 5 years - but they were all HERS AND HER KIDS.

I am not in a tizzty = but it wouldn't be nice to be TOLD -= oh you are holding others.

[sherrardk]

She's probably been doing it all along, does it really matter who the gifts are for?

[Dahlia_Lama]

I agree...she's taken a liberty. She should have been honest with you, it's courtesy.

[Dahlia_Lama]

She has different people coming into her house. I may be unique but i'm fussy as well about people coming into my house, I don't have an open door policy either.

[Peter Pedant]

why dont you open the gifts and ... play with them ?
