    Hi all,

    Remember a while back where i posted a topic on my next door neighbour and how i did not want her ex who seems not to be an ex anymore, to come to our wedding as he was caught stealing something at the engagement party????

    Well heres an update: She came over the other day and asked if she could take my son next door for an icy pole. So after bout 10 mins i followed, she was playing with my son and drunk as usual if i had of known this before i would have said no. Anyway so I brought up the wedding and rsvps as they were nearly due. She said she was coming so i replied who are you bringing and she said nobody. I was a little shocked at this as this woman doesnt even go to shopping centres or out as she cant handle public places.

    So i asked how she was getting there as she doesnt drive and she said i dont know. And it was left at that. I could tell she was very hesitant bout it all.

    So anyway i msged her the other day as she works night shift at her work and explained to her if she didnt feel comfortable coming on her own that i would understand and that this would in no way jeoperdize our friendship...i also said if she did want to bring someone other than George we were more than happy with that too. I also asked her to give me an answer by Fri as that was the last rsvp date. I would hate to pay $100 per head for someone who doesnt turn up on the day as that is what she is like.

    I just went to my letterbox and there was an rsvp card from her!!!! She is not coming!!!!!!. So i rang her to explain that i hope she didnt get the wrong idea bout what i said, and asked her if she wanted to come and bring someone else and she said no. She said she would come over on the day to see me, and that she understood what i was saying, she said she promises me that she knew i wasnt saying not come....but get this the rsvp card had no dear es and mike on it or from liza it just had her name and i am unable to come so that makes me wonder whether or not she does understand.

    But im happy and im not isnt that weird....i am happy coz i was really really worried on the day how she would behave,knowing what she is like she would turn up drunk as thats the only way she can cope with people, and i was really worried she would cause a scene. And im not happy in a way coz now that her supposed ex is back in her life she has hit rock bottom again and is drunk and on medication again. She was so good after she broke up with him she was like sober for more than a week!

    Oh well thought id keep you updated sorry its soooooo long

    luv ya

    It may be easy for me to say because I'm not involved in the situation, but really, don't worry about your neighbour, enjoy your day and be glad that its not going to be ruined by a drunk and a theif.

    i agree with Ellie. Just leave a trail of VB's to somewhere else other than your wedding location! Sorry shouldn't say that!

    ES, You are not going to be able to please everybody. You did everything you could think of to make things work out with your neighbor, and you did an excellent job.

    Now, LET IT GO, and concentrate on your wedding, and have a great day.

    Es, you are so sweet to always worry about other people.

    I really think that it would be good to leave this situation as it is. You don't have to worry about a drunken scene at your wedding. One less thing to go wrong, you will have enough to think about on YOUR day. It belongs to you and your fiance and your son. As long as you and your new family are happy then the day has been a success.

    If you really want to help out your neighbour, then perhaps you could start a list of contact numbers for her? Rehab, Alcoholics Anonymous, therapists etc? Then when she's ready to accept help all the info she needs will be right there.

    Now just go and relax and enjoy thoughts of your wedding!! Here is your present now since I can't come and see you . (you can open it now ~ It's a big happiness bubble to enclose your new family )

    Count your blessings, Es. She may be under pressures you were not aware of. Often guys like this will INSIST on coming along to her events. She may have had to chose to go WITH HIM or not at all.

    As others have said, concentrate on the wedding and worry about your neighbour another day. Some people cannot be saved from themselves.

    Thanks all for the wonderful replies.

    Thanks dams for your beautiful pressi ya.

    I think yesterday it was more shock for me that she wasnt coming as she has always said from the start she was. But really when it comes down to it im not shocked today.....infact i was shocked that she actually came to the engagement party.

    Like Mike said he is over worrying bout her, and so am i, I made the phone call to let her know where i stood and that i wasnt saying not come so i feel ive done everything i could.

    To be honest I am really happy she isnt coming as yes its another thing i would have to worry bout esepcialy as she doesnt like mikes fam to much which isnt a problem until she is drunk and starts causing a scence.

    ya all
