Wee Pressie And Card

[jennyjoan]

Earlier on I was lying in the slumbers on my lovely settee with Maxie on my rather large paunch - when the window was nearly put in - it was very dark and I hadn't closed blinds etc.


Opened the window and it was my neighbour (about 28 years old) who just moved in with her hubby about 8 months ago with a card and a box of chocolates.

OMG - I have spoken to her about 5 or 6 times and I truly didn't expect this. Apart from my one neighbour with hubby and kids - I don't bother with pressies - just a card.

Now I feel in a position to return a pressie. Will do with a box of biccys. I don't know what it is about me. The more I don't want something the more I get. I know some of you will say I am ungrateful but truly I'm not.

But must give you a larf, card from postman saying a delivery wasn't made because sender didn't put correct postage of £1.50 - I wasn't expecting anything so raced down today in the middle of the traffic to main post office. Paid my £1.50 showed my identity. What was it only a card from the Credit Union and a bloody pen. I could have bought 10 pens in the Poundland - LOL

Oh dear what a cross to bear!

[ummmm]

Give her the same chocolates back :-D

[jennyjoan]

terrible cross indeed Islay - must say I am so glad to have friends and neighbours

I'd love to receive a box of chocolates from my thoughtful neighbours, even though I don't eat chocolate.

[jennyjoan]

why would you want them Tilly if you don't eat them

[Tilly2]

Because it would be a lovely gesture.

[jennyjoan]

It is indeed a lovely gesture Tilly but I don't like anybody spending their money on me when they don't know me.

[Islay]

Just smile, say thank you and accept the gift in the spirit it was given!

[jennyjoan]

that;s just exactly what I done Islay. She also left me a pressie for Maxie last week - she baked it herself. Liver breddie things - he wasn't dying about them but she asked me if he liked them - of course I told her he loved them.

That's nice JJ, I always buy my neighbour upstairs a box of biccies as they give me lifts through the year and won't take petrol money.

Maybe your new neighbours think you are a nice lady JJ ? I do believe you are happier giving than receiving gifts. Enjoybyour chocolates :-)

[Cloverjo]

I think a box of biscuits would do nicely, jj. Or a bottle of wine.
She's just trying to be friendly. Perhaps she doesn't know many people, and is trying to get to know her neighbours.
