K14, I agree with PP, you have to tell your folks, no more than 4 weeks.
I cannot believe that people are rude enough to book flights before asking!
Thanks guys. My sister is here too and they're coming to see her too. So I've said they are not staying with us at all and my sister seems ok to have them for a while (mind you last time they stayed with her for 2 months that didn't go well either!).
Last time they were keener on staying with us rather than my sister as we have a pool and a bit more room!

I'll just leave them all to it and see them occasionally while they're here.

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 ....

Nope. My sister and her husband did too. My parents moved in with 'em when they retired here. One night in the wee small hours, my BIL got up for a piss and since it was so late didn't bother with a pair of boxers. Opened the bog door and there's my mum (very overweight - not a pretty picture) on the khazi also in the all-together. They both screamed. BIL says he has recurrent nightmares about that evening.

Good one mate

We have brought a house with a granny flat so there is somewhere for the family to stay when they visit, we told the real estate it was are only condition we had.

We now have a house and a separate granny flat and there are only 2 of us, we will be paying it off for the rest of our lives but it will be worth every $$$$$$$
