Remember friend who visited two years ago - has just emailed me to let me know her and hubby are retiring in June and to expect them after that.

Now I don't mind for a cuppla days my friend but no do not want a couple.

Why or why don't people get the message.

You got to tell her straight, no hinting or being vague.

[ummmm]

Email back and say no.

[Baldric]

Just tell it the way it is.

Just be honest, say a pop round is ok but you aren't up to people staying over.

If it makes you unhappy to have them staying conn , best just tell her. I think we sometimes just like our own routine.

Mamy LOL at you - "pop around" - she lives in Cornwall and I live in Bealfeirste.

No won't say anything just yet as I have mulled it a little. They have got a new dog/puppy and they do have a caravanette thingmajig.

They could probably travel in that along with doggie. Deee deee deee deee - words that save my sanity - was going to say sanctity. LOL

Just tell them that you've recently become a Jehovah's Witness and that you look forward to welcoming them into your home, so that you can preach the word of the Lord ;-)

Sorry if I made you laugh - what I meant was , whilst they are in Town you'd be happy to meet up but couldn't put them up.

They could stay at a Hotel or B&B.


I had a friend who had a couple of spare rooms and friends often wanted to stay over, she was very popular but didn't like guests. She sold up and bought a one bed apartment and now lives in glorious isolation - it's what suits you best.

Just be straight.

If its going to make you unhappy just tell her there is no point stewing on it for the next 3 months.

well as I have said if they are bringing new dog etc - it will be caravanette and will probably only stay with me overnight.
