It is like DD who always rings just as I put plates of hot food on the table. It is not deliberate but she rings in her lunch hour or after work and our meal times can be variable.

We had new young neighbours just before Christmas and I said to DH a couple of weeks ago why is it that I only ever seem to run into them when I am pottering round looking like a badly dressed scarecrow (okay, that’s most of the time, but hey grin!).

I have a lovely neighbour who I enjoy seeing and having a brewcupcake with but how does she know that I like sit down and watch my favourite programme at 2pm and never fails to knock 2/3 times a week just at the opening credits.

I have a very glamorous friend and I always seem to bump into her when I've quickly nipped out to the shops without makeup and in my "house clothes"

Karma exactly. Nipping to Waitrose in gardening clothes and sods law says I meet all sorts of people just off out somewhere dressed up to the nines!!

It's Karma. I only ever see anyone when I look like I have emerged from the shrubbery backwards never when glammed up.

My usual routine is to be up, dressed and breakfasted by 9.00. On occasion I allow myself a lie-in and a late leisurely breakfast which I did today. So how does my B-i-L know when this happens as he invariable chooses those days to drop in for a cup of tea and a chat - which happened again this morning!

I am very fond of him and he is a truly lovely man but how does he know which days to catch me mid-breakfast and with my hair still in rollers (fortunately for him I was dressed)
