To want to stop the woman across the road eating biscuits and drinking tea?

I notice she's put her feet up and is positioned as if watching daytime TV. Shouldn't she be cleaning her house or working in an office?

And while I'm about it, I noticed that she wore a warm coat this morning. Should I reprimand her and tell her she would burn more calories if she wore a flimsy jacket and walked faster?

yp,and while you're at it tell her to turn the heating off!

Yes well I think you should have a word. Theres no knowing where it may lead. Moral depravity thats what.

I once knew a woman and she made a cake. And then she ate it. It had jam and cream in. It was almost illegal I tell you.

Yesterday I saw a man and he was eating chips. He was hiding them in his coat but I smelt them. I reported him to the morality police. Or was it the food division of the morality police.

And then yesterday I saw someone smoking. They were shot of course!

I would pop over and just check that she isn't having sugar in her tea - now that really would be bad...

A teeny tiny hint of envy there, Little Bella?

pyjamagirlgotbitbyvampires · 19/10/2007 12:17

I am also shocked I went to my local supermarket this morning and was horrified that the biscuit aisle was larger then the rice cake and organic breadstick aisle
really soemthing should be done about this what is the world coming to?
As for the woman across the road from you I would go and give her a jolly good talking to I'm sure she would appreciate it.

spookyspice · 19/10/2007 12:19

I think if the biscuits were organic and the tea Fair Trade that would be ok (it is a Friday).

LittleBellaLugosi · 19/10/2007 12:21

Hmm, I haven't monitored them.

Might go and knock and demand to taste them so I can check if they're OK

I read the other day that 3 hours in a hair shirt = 1 small biccy.

Could you profer your hair shirt when you go and check out the biscuits?

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 19/10/2007 12:22

Are you looking through my front window Bella?

DoctorFrankenSquonk · 19/10/2007 12:23

do you live opposite me?

In which case you forgot to mention the chocolate mousse and the teacakes

Niecie · 19/10/2007 12:23

YABU unless she has a chocolate biscuit and then I think you should draw the curtains and refrain from ever looking at her house again. That really would be going too far.

claricebeansmum · 19/10/2007 12:25

Don't let your DC see her

Oblomov · 19/10/2007 12:25

So long as the biscuits in question aren't chocolate.
I mean elevensies with chocolate biscuits are just a no-no, aren't they ?

claricebeansmum · 19/10/2007 12:26

What sort of neighbourhood are you living in? I think you should move

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 19/10/2007 12:27

Actually I have coffe not tea.

Frothy Cappucino with chocolate spinkles.

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 19/10/2007 12:27

Coffeeeeeeeeee

claricebeansmum · 19/10/2007 12:29

Chocolate sprinkles
The depravity

Journey · 19/10/2007 12:29

Oh and I have this neighbour who is so nosey and watches me while I eat my biscuits and drink my tea. Should I tell her to get another "hobby"? {grin}

Neverenough · 19/10/2007 12:29

Thank goodness my children are at school. I try to protect them from the seamy side of life

I think this thread should be deleted - it really has gone too far this time

Maltesers!!!! How disgraceful.

Now be fair, it may be poncey organic decaffeinated fruit tea like wot is all my save-the-planet daughter will allow to pass her lips.

By the way I raised this daughter - my PFB - all wrong. She swiped chips off my plate before she could walk, was forcefed biscuits because I couldn't stand the smell of ricecakes, and had unlimited access to a junk food cupboard. She's grown up now and all precious about her body being a temple and all that silly nonsense. Pah!

Neverenough · 19/10/2007 13:11

Don't worry oenophile-she'll learn!
