Ooooh goody goody! Deliver your Sainsburys shopping list at the same time :D If we are not around, stick them in the garage - don't know what time the flight is - or are you bringing them all down as early as possible and just abandoning them? :D

So sorry its not going well Donna. I find it difficult when people stay as I'm a very private person and need my own space to get away from everything etc It must be hard, especially as they're only aquaintences really. Its going to be a very long 3 weeks!

PA, shippers are coming and I have some scrummy strawberry Boots stuff for you! Can't wait! :D

We're both seething,they were all out at the time Dani found it,a few hours later they appeared & Malcolm explained to them what we had found & asked if they knew how it happened?they said they had no idea & thought the door was always like that :mad: they could see we were mega pissed off & have said they will try & repair it.

Cant believe they would of just kept quiet about it!

Ive cleaned the suite up,used some wash liquid & gave it a good wiping but its left dull patches,I'll try your dove soap idea Soapy & I'll get some Saddle Soap tomorrow(didnt think you could still buy that,i remember my mum using it years & years ago!),that should bring the colour up i think.
We've told them not to allow their kids on the sofa when they've just put cream on them but with a 11/2yr old & 4yr old they've got a job on their hands! I put a dark throw over the sofa,so if the kids do go on it,it will show up :p

Thanks for all your comments & support.

Donna.

Donna, so sorry to hear that you have the house-guests from hell but why on earth are you putting up with these people, when they are taking the pee and abusing your hospitality?? Sit them down and very firmly but politely tell them what the ground rules are - this is YOUR home, for goodness sake - make it clear that they either play by your rules and respect your home - or they can go and find themselves somewhere else to stay.

Along those lines did you know there are 10 types of people in this world?? Those who believe in a binary system, and those who don't

Same sort of homour.

Go out with your family and leave them to it, or better still go away for a few days, and clear up post disaster.

Happy New Year!


Matt, do you do anything except pain in the arse sarcasm replies these days?

I hope everything sorts itself out for you and Donna.

You seem like really nice people and don't deserve to have your hospitality abused like that.

Hey man, I might as well perfect something :D

I ruined it with some semi-intelligent thoughts on laptop-buying the other day though.

As I say, have a Happy New Year, do try to keep a perspective on things old chap though or you'll never be happy in whatever continent you happen to be living on!

Best Regards,
Matt

Matt, we are perfectly happy, just seen some of your recent replies and did'nt think it was your style.

Happy new year to you too.

Donna and Malc,

We've been through this sort of thing twice now, with two different lots of visitors and the simplest thing is to TELL THEM!!!!! :D

If they don't like it - so what? If they kick off - Would you really want them as house guests again in the future? Do you really want your sofas wrecked again? Do you really want to have to put up with reaking dirty nappies around the house? Nope, didn't think so.

Do what we did - tell 'em how it is - this is our house, you are more than welcome but give it a bit of respect. If not, then fork out for a hotel.

You'll be surprised and pleased with the result you get. ;)

And the world might be half surrounded by terrorism but I never heard of dirty nappies being involved ...maybe theres an idea for Dubya... :rolleyes:

omg!! I tell them to start packing as they are taking advantage of your hospitality. This is your home they are treating like a doss-house! :mad: Are they not contributing a penny towards their upkeep either? P*ss-takers! :mad:

No they certainly arent contributing,that was the idea to give them a bit extra spends,god do i feel a mug now :o

This morning they left to go to Sydney for two days,back wed :( Im hoping they enjoy it so much the decide to stay there a bit longer :p
Today im going to get my house in order & make the most of the two days they are away!On their return the ground rules will be set down again,more firmly this time :mad:
Hubby is going to leave the hoover/polishing stuff/bathroom cleaning stuff in the middle of their room floor also,see if they take the hint :D

Must be really hard for you guys. Don't know what we'd do in your situation. Keep shouting and we'll listen..
