To think this is probably not the best way to introduce yourself to the entire street?

[AnguaVonUberwald]

Got a printed letter through the door, complete with pictures.

Hi, I am x and have just moved into house y.

I want to introduce myself to my new friends and neighbours by.....

Trying to sell you all forever living!

NB. Pictures were of forever living stuff not of new neighbours.

Oh dear

That's unfortunate!

Well see now I think she has done you a favour here. You know too be wary. She could have lured you in slowly with friendly chit chat and BAM before you know it you're stuck with a friend who is constantly trying to peddle her crappy over priced products at you!

Forever living reps are shameless in my experience.

Could be worse. She could have parked so as to block your drive, demanded the right to paint your side of your garden fence whatever colour she chose and issued you with a restraining order to prevent your cats sunbathing provocatively.

Goodness I know these people are notoriously pushy but she's only just moved in, you are strangers, does she have no self respect?!

At least you know to avoid her now!

does she have no self respect

I think that you sell that when you sign your direct debit form

I will definitely avoid house and any invites to house. Just need to find out what she looks like now so can avoid totally.

Who thinks that's a good way to introduce yourself to anyone.

If she has kids and suggests any kind of play date or meeting up for a coffe everyone will think she is just trying to sell them things!

Fishwithabicycle. That would be worse!

(all things that neighbours have done according to MN threads I have known. Though not all the same person as yet)

I think once you become a rep you regard all new people as potential customers mugs normal social niceties go out the window.

My SIL does something similar (not forever living something to do with juice) the woman has practically ignored me for the entire time she has been with BIL and literally the day she signed up for the business she sent me a friend request on facebook and a message telling me I would be an ideal addition to her team. I ignored the message and have hidden her on FB

Oh, I remember the 'paint your fence the colour I choose even though I can't see it' thread...

Could be worse. She could have parked so as to block your drive, demanded the right to paint your side of your garden fence whatever colour she chose and issued you with a restraining order to prevent your cats sunbathing provocatively.

This may still happen......

This thread has potential for mumsnet gold if the new neighbour is pushy

Not that I want to disappoint mumsnet but am really hoping that she just leaves us alone!

Could be worser - she could take your parcels, refuse to answer the door then mock you by hanging contents of said parcel on her washing line...

I'd rather my neighbours introduce themselves as swingers. At least you know they are game for a laugh.

Completely off thread but is that what happened to the lady who's neighbour wouldn't give her her parcel?!

Oh dear. Asbo the fecker.

Hahaaa oh so sorry for you right now

Never heard of this. Is it a new religion?

Actually, she's a genius.
You will all be avoiding her so she won't have to make the chat with all the neighbours about where she came from, how much she paid, yadda yadda

What is Forever Living?
(With a name like that is must be made of indestructible plastic)

Move out IMMEDIATELY.
