So what would you tell her, in order for her to agree to get on the plane.

I'd love to see what happens when she starts telling hubby about God :rofl:

Already, they are eating me out of house and home, (they're a few stone over weight and need to stop shovelling it in)...
But my mother is driving me nuts in my own bloody house... makes herself a drink and doesn't ask us if we want one, leaves the tea bags in the sink, starts re-arranging the stuff in the cupboard....

I'm preparing meals, and she's asking when I'm 'doing' breakfast, which in our house is a help yourself affair.... Get yourself a bowl and sit on down with something in it.

It's only two days and I'm exhausted already.

There are 5 people in my house normally and now there are 7....

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'll be all right.


Only 2 and a half months more to go.... :eek:

I would honestly go down the "there's the cupboard, help yourself. Breakfast is a DIY job here"
and then the same at lunch....
If I've cooked the eve meal I always sit and say -- Well I cooked, I dont know who's washing up, but it wont be me.......

I would also have a 'chat' about the food bill -- people shouldnt expect to be fed for 2 and a half months -- that's just rude....

When people come for 2weeks or so then I have no problem with doing most of the work and paying for the food etc - they have done the same for me in the past but two months is a long time to feed and wait on people.

Lay some ground rules and if they don't like it then send them to the local Born Again Church - they are sure to find some nice Christian who will put them up for free!!!! :D
