This is going to be quite long ,as i need to lay some background down.
Moved recent(3 months ago) to a completely new area..Live alone...Road of bungalows.!
I kept myself to myself...but this lady Elizabeth, approximately February time. Started to say hello. But it wasnt just straight forward politeness. There was always a caveat in her speech...some kind of loaded comment!
Very controlling and quite the liar.
Before i moved in.( The guy before me passed away from cancer) this guy had large pebbles all in the garden(i would have inherited ) and faux turf.....(i have to mention all this as youll find out way later) Anyway...it transpires that she took the lot....And shes in her 80s at a guess...thats alot of lifting and moving but never the less , she took it all.
My neighbours to my left(back door looking out) both told me she had, and kind of suggested (this was recently) that shes not what she seems.
So! this sunday just gone.
i get a knock on the door(and remember Covid, as she had no problems coming to my home and being reasonable close but it gets worse.) i answered ,and she was 6 foot back and said "do you want the pebbles that are down our shared footpath(ive never let her know that i knew she'd took them, (before i moved in)..but i think shes picked up on some of my comments in the past....So i might not be good at having a poker face after all....i sense she knows i know...
Sorry if this is all trippy....but its opened up this way as shes dishonest and everything has been deceptive from the get go.
So her offer is completely out of the blue...And im really not good at saying no....she started saying "it will save you £100's.....you can take them" and i thought....well they were technically mine anyway.
Unbeknownst to me, she had already raked 12 feet long and approx 2 ft wide 6"high load of pebbles down the shared path.So now i was committed to having to move them..As they'd be no way of us getting our wheelie bins out for the next day.
I said to her categorically...."I shouldnt be doing this, due to my illnesses and spine, so can you just stop now and we'll do the rest another day" im sure you know what im going to type next?
She carried on and on...whilst i was loading the wheel barrow to take them to my back garden. Now this next part if crucial. She let me us HER barrow...and sweep....which she both touched without ANY issues at all. And has done for the past months..
So, i end up finishing at 7pm sunday.
Now skip to today 30/4/20 I come back from ex partners and use my own sack barrow...but the tyres are flat..
So i knock on Liz's door(back door) these are tiny bungalows....its easy to hear knocks and certainly bells.
So i knock loudly as i had heard her 10 mins prior, calling her dog...So i knew she was in..Then i totally rang her bells 304 times loudly...i hate it! dont like the noise at all..but did it..(*shes told me in the past to ring the bell and never have)
No answer!....I knows shes in so knock louder and ring louder...Still no answer, and totally 100% know shes in the bungalow.
And as shes let me use her barrow before....i thought literally" shes on the loo then....i'll grab it quick and get the car unloaded" as i thought by the time ive done that , she would have come out.
5 mins later...i see her and i shout " Liz, ive used the barrow and will pop it back in a mo" to which she said....You shouldnt have taken it(what you dont know is, in the past, she just waltzes into my garden , and doesnt seem to have any boundaries) so i thought her reply very strange.
So i said to her " but you said it was ok to use, and i knew you was in " then she said " my daughter is going to be so angry with you, she doesnt want people touching her stuff"....to which i said " but its yours isnt it?" she replied "Yes, but she still doesnt want people touching my items"
So at this point , im thinking "hang on....this is really odd," and shes actually conveying something underneath all this bs...It was really weird ,in real time!
She then stated she didnt want me just walking into her garden and using her "stuff" So i repeated " but you said it was fine" "And i did knock twice" To which she said " no you never" Which really is calling me a liar!
I then got angry but kept my calm and said "I even used the bell" and she said "no you didnt" . So basically, shes calling me a liar and that i go into peoples gardens and just borrow stuff without asking..And thats totally not what happened.
I then thought "shes setting me up here"
So i left it....took the barrow back and went to my garden and carried on with my new shed.
30 mins later her ever so arrogant daughter started a long diatribe!
She didnt want me touching x y and z....going on about her mothers age etc...despite her mother being far more fitter and capable than myself and im 2/3rds her mother age..So a hit piece was taking place! making me out to be some kind of bad guy"
The daughter then said " i dont even know you" to which i immediately said " i dont know you" It then went oddly silent .And she then pointed to my bungalow door and said " i dont know what you do in there"...? Uh?....What on earth is this woman implying?...
Just a nasty piece of work...that ive had confirmed by my nice neighbours...as theyve both had dealings with her also.
I told the daughter, that there was no problem sunday, so why now....She just said " do not touch my mothers stuff"
The sheer hypocrisy though...as shes standing 8ft in my garden,, she lives 10 miles away and coming to my area,, telling me what to do, and not doing it herself.
I have to mention, that in march i spent 3 weeks in hospital..And when i came out....Liz' was all over me..."with all this covid...do you want me to help with shopping" now this sounds kind and in and of itself..it is...but it always comes with some oddity with her..
She got me some bacon and passed it to my , easily within 2 feet of eachother....And her daughter was maybe 15ft away.....As i mentioned,, this was back in March..So why wasnt her daughter bothered then? And they both know i came out of a hospital where 2 covid patients were.
Ok , back to today...and now wrapping up!
I reported this to the council and the oddest thing happened....I explained it all, and the housing officer said " this has bothered you hasnt it" and it hit my like a lightning bolt...the sheer fact that all this really had hurt me...And i ended crying! it just all came out...
Whats been done..is i have been falsely accused and wrongly treated and made out to be some kind of thief without any regard for other people. When the opposite is true.
I have to mention that in the past,, Liz has commented when i walked past her garden 2 weeks ago and her daughter was there then actually. She muttered out "are you smoking" i replied "no i gave up months ago, can you see smoke" and that was that...And another time i came home and she stroppily asked "where have you been" Now i know you cant catch the tones nor nuance...but totally without paranoia...she has been this way....So this has all bubbled up to today..
Can anyone make sense of this? is it me?.....I knew she was in.....only 4 days prior...no issue me touching and using her barrow....then this! Oddly enough....Its her thats the thief and liar! so maybe shes trying to judge me by her own actions...
