Had a guy from the council round last night discussing the redevelopment of the area - roads, green spaces etc. We'd been chatting for about two minutes when he asked if he could come in to discuss it further and seemed a bit taken aback when I said I'd prefer he didn't. On the same note a woman I work with is banging on about how getting a cleaner for a couple of hours a week is one of the best things she ever did, saves her loads of time etc but no chance would I let a stranger poke around my gaff (let alone paying someone to clean up after me!). Even with my mates I feel a bit off about them coming round, much prefer to meet in the pub or in the summer sit out in the garden.

Anyone else feel like this or am I well on my way to becoming an oddball/loner/potential social recluse?

Suppose joining a forum full of 40 odd year old blokes is the first step towards it!

How many cats have you got? when you hit double figures start worrying.

The only people I wont let in my drum are pigs and jehovahs. Everyone else is more than welcome.

I did canvassing for EDF Energy for a while, horrible job.

Quite a few people didn't want you coming in when discussing tariffs. Nearly got chased off an old peoples estate too.

My bird wants a cleaner too, doesn't sit right with me for some reason

Having someone clean up after me is fine, but paying them for it? No thanks.

Im the fucking cleaner in my house!

Pay someone to pick up my ironing though, cant be arsed with that.

And sauzee, you are definatly on your way to social reclusivness...

A wet secretary? In a tight white blouse perhaps? Pics?

Close friends and family yes.

Cunts with clipboards? Fuck off.

I'm happy with certain mates to come round, just not those who leave mess which you're still finding 6 months later.

Im quite the opposite really, enjoy inviting people round and having folk over, only problem is the missing person rate has shot up since i moved in the village.
Best one was the other evening when some electricity man knocked on the door saying how bills are going up, and if we had seen the adverts on the telly, I told him I wouldnt know mate since we dont watch TV, this was while the tv was blasting out in the background
