Well, at least the ones to our right !! We have said hello and had quick chats to them a few times since we moved in, but went over for a proper yak today and to meet their goat, Abby  They're an older couple, about my mums age, so have kids and grandies... but are wonderful and friendly, and very laid back.
However, I was extremely pleasantly surprised and extremely grateful when we were talking today and Jan (the wife) said she had a couple of things for us... I was expecting, well... I dunno, a pot plant maybe, or information on things to do in the neighborhood, or a donation of some housey type things... BUT, this is what they gave us: 
Is that fabulous or what !?!? Turns out Jan works for the toy company Hasbro, and has been there for 18 years !! Not only that but they said they would be happy to help us out when the time comes and I go into labour, since we'll probably need someone to feed the cats and clear the mail, so have been feeling all warm and fuzzy since I came back home for lunch.
Oh, and it wasn't all about me / bubs though, of course Noel (husband) is a bit of a handyman and has offered Roland the use of his chainsaw for some of the hedges and trees we want to trim / cut down LOL Anyway... off to Birthcare shortly for a tour, toodles ! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

| Neat! I'm hoping to meet our neighbours. It's an elderly lady who jake pointed at, and then laughed at very loudly. Oops. |

That is so cool I have yet to meet our neighbour's proper although I did run over in a mad panic a few week ago when my son decided to lock me out of the house with no key's while he was inside. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
