Missus: They are coming for ages.
Me: Define 'ages'.
Missus: 9th dec - 18th jan
Me: And they'll be in this house during that entire period? They're not like, buggering off to Perth for five of those weeks?
Missus: At least it's over christmas so loads going on.
Me: Yea, a double homicide for starters ....

When they say that they're coming for 3 months start whining to me. I might then have some sympathy.

They spend their time in the UK relentlessly stalking people they have met on their trips abroad (emails, cards etc) and then basically invite themselves to stay the next time they are in the same county. Am cringing just thinking about it.

Ouch.

They're the biggest cheap-skates to walk the earth. You know when you go on holiday and meet some people and swap addresses and say, "If you're ever in the area."

The FIL billed his other son-in-law for the time it took him to erect a trampoline for his own grandkids!!!! The MIL turned down visits from her daughter and grandson once by saying it was 10% off day at Homebase.

I pointed out to the FIL that if they all went out for a meal it was unlikely to be in the local KFC and that he'd have to split the bill. He decided not to visit them after that. :lol:

Will they be living nearby? Perhaps you could wait until they buy somewhere & then move yourselves!

Yea, had the same thing when we stayed with my parents for two months. Everyone lost the plot at one point or another. Only person that isn't complaining is the pooch, because she suddenly gets three times as many dog walks when the sponges-in-law are in town. :D
