Egluntyne Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's here! Every year we receive a Christmas card from a duo called Douggie and Janice. We haven't the foggiest idea who they might be. Careful questioning of relatives has thrown up nothing so they are not obscure cousins. None of our children have friends with parents with those names. Neither of us went to school/university or grew up near anyone with those name. They are not colleagues. They mystery amuses us each year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 We get one from some unknown people every year too, but not Douggie & Janice Ours is from Willie & Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 previous owners What fun BBx Not in our case. The letter & card is addressed to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Oh...I see... Nope...it is addressed to us...and has followed us on 2 house moves. They obviously are able to keep tabs on us somehow. As they haven't had a card back from us in 25 years, you'd think they'd give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I got one from Liz yesterday?.....and pondered all day over it, then discovered that the Merry Christmas blurb printed in it (that I hadn't read) said 'thank you for a successful year with Kleeneeze' . I've also had one addressed to my dad for the last 3 years - the chap that sends it was at his funeral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 We've been investigating our mystery card for over 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 So someone your generation or older then. I suspect a link to your/his parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Definitely not mine and I have asked around his and no one knows of them. No point asking him though. A card came from "Karen and Ray" and he said who are they? I had to point out that Ray is his first cousin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 they've followed you after moving house twice? spooky! Maybe its your estate agent or solicitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Not our solicitor definitely. Estate Agent? We moved here 20 odd years ago. The estate agent we used doesn't exist anymore. It was taken over by one of the biggies long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basset Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I had an unreadable scrawl in a Christmas card today which has been puzzling me all day. Definately began with an H or an L, and was a single person, but who it could be I really don't know? It's very irritating isn't it!!?!

Based on your OH not recognising his cousin's name, I'm suspecting it could be on his side, but who knows. Old work colleague for one of you maybe?

craftyhunnypie Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You've never met anyone on holiday by those names??? You're not on friends re united or anything??

Not the person who married you is it? just a thought. How wierd. Emma.x No I don't think we've met anyone with those names on hol. I don't usually give my address to strangers anyway. The puzzle is how do they know that we moved 20 odd years ago as we have never known who they are to send them a change of address card. The person who married us is dead, so its not him.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The person who married us is dead, so its not him. Was he married? Maybe his widow just carried on sending cards to names in his address book? (And married again, obviously ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
