Sil Is Here

[Samuraisan]

Well she is here, she has straightened my pictures and had a nosey. I have oohed and ahhed with all due respect at the goodies ( does she not realise we have delicious biscuits here ?). She didn't bring any sandals or swimming costume, we had planned to take the GC on a few picnics to the beach, it's beautiful this month, before the tourists descend, now what are we going to do ? She is NOT borrowing one of mine. She says she thought it was cold , hasn't she heard of Google ? Okay, rant over for today.

Mallyj - sometimes your next of kin dont have the money for hotels etc - I have put up like maybe 100 next of kin and not next of kin - thats why I have said this time - enough is enough with that last wannabe visitor. My visiting days are definitely over.

[MallyJ]

Jennyjoan....you are a kind woman..I am not. I am not prepared to entertain people..if they can't afford a hotel then they shouldn't be travelling...or expecting other people to put them up..IMHO!

[jennyjoan]

Well Kudos to you Mallyj - I just know it's all over for me now ie visitors -

Hard to deal with an alcoholic staying with you for a week and when you come back from an errand find them boiling an egg in the chip pan.

Hard to deal with these people who are literally on the IPads for 10 hours in your living room when you are trying to watch TV and they don't shut up ever

Hard to deal - when you are going to work on a Monday morning find that daddy visitor is bathing 2 year old baby visitor in the bath at 7.00am when you want to have shower and then having to retreat into your bedroom to let daddy continue

Hard to deal - when you allow two couples to have their own bedroom and you lie on the floor of your own house.

Hard to deal with a friend's son who has had a row with his father and has been thrown out of family home - so you feel obliged with the 3 bedrooms

And I could write more but won't bore you - just so glad it is all over for me.

Boy was I a MUG - no no no ever again -

Sorry Sammy for digressing LOL -

[haras]

It's taken me three score years and ten to JUST SAY NO!

[jennyjoan]

haras - to say no to visitors or to sex LOL

[roopower]

Ah mallyh, I thought of that. Hopefully she'd be so busy straightening pictures she won't have time for anything else. Beware, a friend came home early from a night out and found her MinL trying on her clothes.

^ well at least it wasn't the father in law

[ummmm]

Sam....maybe she'll be happy not to swim. On all our holidays my OH has never got in the water.

That said...I'd hate to have someone stay with me for 2 weeks.
