I was outside this morning doing a bit of work in the garden when one of my neighbours came over for a chat (not a regular thing, we're not really each other's cup of tea!!)

She asked me if I'd met any of the new neighbours yet, as we have three new families moved into the street. I said I'd not seen them at all, she said that she hadn't either - all fair enough so far! Then she told me that 'Sue' (another neighbour) had told her that none of them had put any money in the Christian Aid envelopes that she took round last week, and that she was 'disgusted', and why couldn't they even put in 50p like Fred and Wilma did!!!

I'm bloody raging here, but OH seems very nonplussed so I'm wondering if it's just me??

It's not a nice thing to spread around.

Having said that, I don't know why I find this thread so funny but I just do! Grin

I'm with you on that one!

You wouldn't have to open an envelope to know there was a 50p piece in it.

Or that it was empty

Yes, you could just hold them up to the light, or feel for coins Grin

Maybe next time shrug and act like she's not gossiping: 'Maybe they don't support religious charities given the bad reputations some have had in the past?'

I'm not liking the cut of Sue's jib.

AuntyMag10 · 24/05/2015 12:26

Hardly anything to rage about. You don't like each other so don't entertain any conversations like these.

Actually OP, she shouldn't be gossiping about this. Can't you jaut tell her she shouldn't be doing it?
