Good idea Sue......

and everybody is helping to paint all the bedrooms

:-D

A few years ago the 'phone rang, I answered, a male voice asked to speak to Himself. The caller didn't say who he was, nor did he call me by my name.

Himself got on the phone.......... chatted for a while.

The caller was a guy OH worked with many years ago, they had moved to Brisbane (about 2 hours drive from us), and were having work done to their house.......... could we put them up for a week?!!!!!!!

How bl**dy rude!!!!!!!!! The man has met me several times, I've met his family! We hadn't seen them for at least ten years.

btw........ they're loaded, they could afford to stay at a posh hotel for a week.

No, they didn't stay with us.......... and we haven't heard from them since. Double bl**dy rude! :-|

Make an excuse that your family have come to stay unexpectedly for the weekend with children and Sorry but all the rooms will be full..

They wanted to give you a surprise

Sharron it was on OHs phone, and we were busy with the little ones at the time. It was so unexpected, he replied and I don't think he thought about until later.

Did that text reach your phone?

It would not have reached mine.

Sheets in one room. Pick up a waif and stray for the second. Fill the third with rubbish. If that dont put them off, nothing will.

Lol Scozz, I will suggest that to OH when he wakes up, but we have another two spare rooms.

Weren't you talking about doing up the spare bedroom?

Drop sheets over everything, cans of paint, no curtains...........

:-D

Yes I agree. it's a bit late to do anything now, except for us to drop out tomorrow, but how could we without making excuses and telling lies to our friends.

Could be a very long night Paula...... hope they won't make this a regular date!
Just too cheeky/pushy for words (imho).

He knows the house we have Ann, and he knows there is just the two of us..

AnnCardiff Report 14 Mar 2014 20:20

how would they know if you have room for them to stay?

PollyinBrum

PollyinBrum Report 14 Mar 2014 20:17

It would be difficult to make an excuse as we are going out with other friends. I think we were both surprised at the text not even a telephone call.

We had the grandchildren here for tea, and OH said yes before we had really thought about it. I am not looking forward to it.

Bob's posting made me laugh out loud BUT I would not be laughing if I was in Paula's position. I second Bob's suggestion.... make an excuse and let them go elsewhere.

OH worked with the man until recently, and he has met the woman once, I don't think they have been together for very long. I have to say I was not impressed.

Thanks Bob Bob you have made me feel so much better.

Don't like the sound of this! I wouldn't dream of asking someone I had only met twice if I could stay overnight, especially if I was bringing a complete stranger. Alfred Hitchcock made films about this sort of thing, usually with lots of blood. Make an excuse. Bob
