Neighbour has just driven away in disguise...

and I am trying to think what on earth she might be up to.

She is mid-50s, medium length brown hair, glasses, always wears black. Divorced, lives with late-teen and adult daughters. Has dogs.

She's just zoomed off wearing a light pastel coloured top, a short blond bob and sunglasses. I'd have thought it was a completely different person if it hadn't been her car and she did the 3-point-turn she needs to do to get out of our cul-de-sac in exactly the way that she always does (I see this out my kitchen window so I am aware of every single neighbours' turning/driving style). The nose/face was also her (from what I could see of it).

What can it possibly mean?!

So glad you're not my neighbour.

Am Dram? I was dressed as a victorian gentleman last week (complete with boobs because I cant hide the buggers).

She’s off to a fancy dress party or she’s into amateur dramatics?

Thought you said fanny dress party. Now that would be interesting

She's seeing if blondes have more fun.

We do! 💃

It sounds like you've just watched someone steal your neighbours car

shellyleppard · 09/06/2025 19:48

Probably in disguise due to nosy neighbours looking out the window all the time.....🤔😂🔎👀

Rinkali · 09/06/2025 19:52

She’s trailing her daughter’s dodgy boyfriend, or is honey trapping a friend’s husband in the local Premier Inn. Or a friend’s wife. No judgement, Sheila.

God I bet your neighbours curtains were twitching!

How odd.

PiggieWig · 09/06/2025 20:30

Definitely a honey trap

Birdied · 09/06/2025 20:32

I'll go with swinging

Discoprincess6 · 09/06/2025 20:58

She’s a Russian spy whose been collared so needs an identity change to get out of the country

I love how your immediate assumption is she's wearing a disguise and not just had her hair done and changed outfits.

No curtain twitching, it's small, narrow road that goes right past my kitchen window, no pavement, when she parks there I can literally see into her passenger seat while I'm washing up 😁

But it gets weirder: I didn't see her coming back but the car is there again.
Then a while later she took her dogs for a walk. She was back to her usual look again, so either it was someone else (who looks very much like her) driving her car, or she was indeed in disguise.

@ExpectTheWorst If you ever find out what she was up to, please come back and let us know!

Well, you've failed in your duty, then. Imagine not being committed enough to stay at your post till she returned. Tush.
