Sounds like she's in a pretty desperate situation and in a bad way and needs more help than you could offer her. You did the right thing. Plus, she might then never be away from your door............
She did knock once before a few years back asking for Cigarettes... Sorry i don't smoke. Thank you!
Total pest's if you ask me.

It is better to say 'No' right up front than to attempt help but not have the resources to complete it.
By resources I'm refering to medical knowledge, money, time, counselling skills, and a whole lot of other things.

Yes, as I said, it sounds as though Sue can't give her the help she needs. With the best will in the world, I don't think a neighbour can help, other than show some kindness if it merits it.

The thing is though her husband had chucked her out, she was waiting around for Bryan her neighbour to come home?
If i knew her well enough i probably said come home with me, but my time is my own. You can see through people.
