    As ever the sensible voice of reason from SS.

    She may not even know it's a problem.

    My advice is not to ask her for tea, from experience with old biddies, once they get through your front door they never stop pestering you. They make you things from dried flowers, dodgy cakes, and expect you to feed their cat when they snuff it.

    Go with the ear plugs. If your extra fashion concientious you might even want to try ear muffs.

    You could watch the same channel as her and save your own speakers from wearing out :confused:

    (Fao-Andy- mad weekend- i'll be in touch tommorrow! D)
    I am a fee charging WoM Mortgage broker.
    I now no longer give information and opinion within the Mortgage boards, because a number of posters who, having approached me professionally, agreed my fee-which has been been made very clear at the outset, taken my advice (normally cancelling a [home visit] meeting at short notice) have then approached one of the fee-free brokers on here to arrange the very same deal I have advised.
    Whilst I totally concur with the ethos of "money saving"- abusing the goodwill of a professional who provides a quality service is taking it too far! :mad:

    Combine some of the suggestions. Invite her round for tea then get someone to nip round and cut the speaker wires in the TV while she's in your place. :D ........ and "Manc" you got something against feeding cats? :(
    A house isn't a home without a cat.
    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
    It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.
