To tell dm to mind her own business?

She is doing my head in. Every time I do anything she just wants to be kept in the loop and it drives me insane.

For the record, she isn't lonely or bored. She is 71 and very active, sees her friends daily and is out doing things every day, so that isn't a valid reason for her sticking her nose into everything I do (and my siblings).

This week I've been looking for a new dining table and happened to mention it. The day after, she text me to ask if I'd found one, then when I didn't answer the text due to being at work, she rang me to check if i had one yet. Yesterday she noticed that i had commented on a Facebook post about a table, and within five minutes was on the phone to see if I'd bought it!

She does this about everything. Short of just not mentioning anything to her I don't know what I can say apart from "can you just mind your own business?!"

Yep, just mind your own business should do it!
