    Are you lot sick or something. It was so unfunny, you must have a really pathetic "sense of humour".

    Please don't bother to reply.

    Or perhaps her boyfriend is crap at DIY, father of her child has no interest in helping, and she doesnt want to lumber the landlord with lots of trivial things/wait a long time to have them done.

    So you think bothering her neighbour whom she doesn't know from adam makes more sense than asking her dad, son, boyfriend or landlord? :eek: Why would her neighbour whom she doesn't know have any more interest in helping than people she actually knows?

    Possibly the OP is suffering slightly with jealousy that her husband is helping this other woman a lot.

    Where do you get that from? OP doesn't seem to be jealous, just uncomfortable.

    Either way, if you say he's been helping her so much, there should be very little else left to do with the place and you can get back to your daily life and this will all blow over.

    From my reading her husband hasn't helped this woman at all. He keeps saying no, but she keeps asking. The problem is that he's bothered by it. Poor man. It sounds like he is a busy man and it's horrid when you feel as if you can't relax in your own home.

    Nope.
    Sorry.
    You've lost me.

    I also fail to understand the reasoning behind you jumping in to endorse.....
    .....whatever it is you're endorsing.

    Pathetic.

    Thought - what a terrible world we are in when women are attacking women in a virtual environment - and worst of all, age is the weapon of choice.

    There was nothing snide about my comment; I hope what I meant was blatantly obvious. I have no jealousy towards anyone and am more likely on the receiving end of nastiness for the reasons you infer. Not many women like the image that I portray and seldom bother to understand the person behind the facade.

    I was wrong to refer to them as neighbours (although they lived close by) - the daughter was a friend - and if not a friend, certainly very reliant on me for assistance (almost total) with the care of the pony she was not physical ly able to manage. When I had car problems and no money, he helped me fix it - we are talking about three occasions over a six-seven year period. His wife was grumpy and moody with me over her daughter's reliance on me - the fact her husband was kind (and developed the "crush") was somewhat secondary. At that point, they had two daughters in wheelchairs and family life must have been hard; I helped them more than they helped me, that's certain. As it is, the elder daughter died age 23 and the father died last year - having been ground down by the precious family life. He was only 55.

    I see you make no mention of how stupid I must have been in encouraging my husband to be kind to my then best friend.

    Age aside, you make me very sad. And your attitude to me is awful.

    Image does say a lot about a person - doesn't it. It is totally up to you what image you portray to the world. I have no idea what yours might be - but if a person dressed in a 'certain way' then people may assume you are of a certain charactor - and rightly so - as this is what you WANT people to think. I.E if you dress cheap, they you probably are. Maybe people don't want to get to know the person behind your facade because you don't really come across as very welcoming, friendly etc - just spiteful to other women! you say my attitude to you is awful? You came completely out of the blue saying spiteful comments and accuse me of having a bad attitude to you!! Do you have any female friends? I would be shocked if you do!

    I didn't feel the need to make a mention of how stupid you feel you have been to encourage your husband to help your friend - totally not interested - but seeing as you insist I make a comment - Maybe it was karma come back to bite you on the behind.

    What a vile thing to say - calling his wife grumpy and moody and the family life that your friend had, drove him into the ground. I am sure he loved his family and it cannot be easy caring for wheelchair bound people. How awful of you.

    All in all you really are making people laugh on this thread, please keep going.:D

    Why so :mad::mad:? Of course no one is exempt of the ageing process, but some women do have problems with younger women for no obvious reason. Do I assume by your :mad::mad: that you are an older woman too? Maybe you have problems with younger women - have you thought about that? Or maybe you are menopausal or suffering from dry lady bits as previously mentioned and that's what's got your knickers in a twist - literally! ;)

    Hahahahaha!! I think you have hit the nail on the head there! Funniest post in ages!

    Excuse me - you started these nasty comments. A general joke was made - which was clearly aimed at no one, and you jumped in and took it upon yourself to ruin the fun and jokes. You sound pent up my dear.

    How can we be using age as a weapon? I don't know how old you are, you dont know how old I am? I could be 60 for all you know!

    Wrong - on so many levels.

    Don't assume anything - you would be quite wrong. Why are you demanding "answers" from me....? (I do realise that your questions are rhetorical.)
    I find your post - and the previous one that I quoted - quite repulsive and strangely anti-female.
    I have no problem whatsoever (nowadays) with any women of any generation or age - apart from some of those like you that I encounter on here. Ugly behaviour is not the sole province of older women - a fate that awaits you unless you know some superspecial trick.

    Oh - and with hindsight, I should not have been so friendly with the family of my friend. They should have got their backsides onto the yard and helped their spoilt brat of a child with the animal themselves. The help with my car was offered - and to whoever asked, yes, at that point my husband had left me for the works cleaner. I suppose you or your sidekick have some comment about that too.

    And calling a disabled child a SPOILT BRAT is disgusting.

    You are either a troll looking for attention - or complete scum.

  • Wrong - on so many levels.

    I'm not normally one for digging through old posts to bring things up, but I did have a quick nosey at yours. In this thread you say that it is usually other women who are jealous of you, in another you admit to being vain. One of the most ugliest traits a person can have. I cannot stand people who think they are the bees knees, more often than not those people are very disillusioned.

    I have come to the conclusion that I don't like you.
    :love:
