Yes done to death on here but my lovely friend has just popped round uninvited. Again. I live alone ( except for when DS is back from uni ) so it's just me to do everything.
It's 3 in the afternoon on a boiling day and I was in my tiny garden in a n old bikini reading Looking shite and sweaty ( she knows I love sunbathing).Just came in for a wee.
My house is one room downstairs so anyone coming round literally sees any mess ( sun-dried washing waiting to be ironed, life admin on the table some presents to be wrapped ),
The front door is that wobbly glass so people outside can see movement inside
She used to teach. Surely she knows that the first day you break up is a bloody holiday to do what you want. Just phone first it's not hard.

@SedumRoof Yes obviously the confidence to be yourself is a middle / upper class thing.

But none of my middle class friends have a choice of toilet where either everyone in their garden can hear you or anyone coming to front door.

Actually posh people are uncomfortable if they are "caught out" by people further up the food chain then them.

I was including the working class as also more likely not to be horrified by spur of the moment visitors. I’m WC and confident, and I grew up in a house with an outdoor loo you had to walk past to get the back door (which everybody used). (I will never get over the spiders…) People were always wandering in and out of the house. If by ‘posh’, you mean UC, there’s no one higher up the food chain.
