What have you been doing today?

[jeninwa]

Hope you are feeling better SE things can only improve.
I have been cleaning out the draws and cupboards in my bathroom, amazing what you find hidden in the back of the cupboards. Been very ruthless and chucked heaps out.

[cookie1]

Jeninwa good on you. I badly need to do that in all rooms, but I find better things to do, like cook, and convince myself it is more important.

[Cornish Cream]

I hope you feel better soon ES.Sinus infection sounds very painful

Hally it will be interesting if your cousins do get Easter eggs for the boys.I'm truly appalled at their behaviour,they are so mean.I do like Cookie's idea of how to get rid of them

[gertbysea]

OMG H I have been away for a bit playing with my new MacBook Pro. But thought I had better have a look see here and OMG I am splitting a gut at your expense I'm afraid. I think you are  the winner on visitors from hell. The stories we can tell.

Odious people are all around us!

They bought the coffee as he drinks heaps in the morning & he knew t was early out. He gave it to me as a present,I i said its not for me i dont drink instant coffee.

halley    ......... how about some laxative in that instant coffee  (that you guys dont drink )

do it just before they leave to go out for the day

[Frozzie]

Oh hally you must have a limit.. These people are very blatantly using you.. No other way to put it.. Rude ignorant mean stingy ppl get no respect from me.. If you let ppl walk all over you they will just find a way to keep doing it...i learnt that the hard way.. Whistles going off everywhere!!! I would never normally throw anyone out just grin and bear it but sorry these ppl sound like they need a good kick up the @#\!@? Still each to their own... Your house and you have to live with them..

[cookie1]

I love that one.  

[gertbysea]

I have had my share of freeloaders and it is a hard one Hally.

BTW when are you coming over cookie?

Gert

Am I coming over to freeload Gert?  Only going to Monkey Mia and Birdsville this year, sorry.

ES what a bummer, such a waste of food

She comes into kitchen, says I will make the cake now,(Iasked her to make one)  I said great, did you get the ingredients, she said no, so I said what are you going to make it out of!! She walked away.... So there goes the cake....Then....

I am cutting up cheese to take to our room, yes I know...  But more comfortable there!!!  She says I want some, I said serve yourself & walked off.

Dh says I  am getting god at barking orders

Dh who is so patient & tolerant has said monday 9am check out time. They fly out at 5.30pm he has found a place in the cty that does luggage storage


Having a wine & cheese platter in bed

[kt2]

Oh Hally - what a nightmare you are going through! 
Glad to hear it's nearly over for you. Do cp and lr have Guitar Hero that they can play really loud and early? If not, you can borrow ours! 
In all seriousness though, you should be very proud of yourself and the way you have handled the situation by not stooping to their level. Enjoy your wine and cheese in your "safe room"! 

[Mama Fergie]

I really feel for you Hally as I have been there too many times but DH and I said after his sister was with us for 6 months never again.
I aver e epitome. And Will happily ave her anytime but the other freeloaders never again.
You will so enjoy just being back to normal.
Not long now 

[Frozzie]

Such a shame they ruined your long weekend

[droverjess]

This thread has somehow turned into a novella of our times....

ES hope you feel better soon, pity about the food... Well As we all know **** happens.

Hally, one day you'll come back and read this and find it is so awful it actually makes funny reading. None of us will ever top it, or would want to. Poor all of you, at least you and DH are able to sneak away for a midnight feast.

My day very dull in comparison, cooking, baking bread, ironing, an hours walk and of course working on the soon to be finished blanket.

Watched quantum solace tonight on DVD and had popcorn to try to break up the monotony of convalescence.

Tomorrow I have just discovered is the Golden wedding of some old friends, so I shall bake them something and take it round.

[maddy]

The fruit ones were fine, but I couldn't work out why my chokkie ones didn't rise........until I woke up in the middle of the night and realised that I can't remember adding the yeast!!!!!!!

It always amazes me how we can wake from a deep slumber,  with  ideas & answers!.....just shows how active our minds still are.
ES...it can only get better......have some bubbles and try to laugh 

Just a thought....it's easy for us to tell Hally to kick her guests to the curb, but in reality that is a very hard thing to do, particularly when Hally & family have manners, are polite, and always seem to be gracious hosts.......it's nearly over H.....hang in there 

Today I'm preparing everything for tomorrow's lunch...I really am tired of how I leave everything to on the day of....time to change 
Boys out all day at footy, so peace until I catch up with a friend later for some bubbles & cheese no doubt 

[Halex]

2 more sleeps

Yes Maddy, just cant do it.

They are already talking about their next trip......this actually makes me laugh, as we get the last one, because THEY ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.

Yes bummer its a lovely long weekend, dh has said its my worst easter ever, I said yes I know & its only good friday, lol. We are starting to laugh now as its nearly over & dhs plan to dump them in the city is a great one

Today is going to be interesting, they plan to go to the zoo, shop for food for dinner & cook, lol. I wonder what amazing excuse will happen this time DH & I are running ideas, i think it will be they missed the bus, got lost, coudnt manage to get to the shops & well the rest wil be interesting.

Soon to be back in Hallys Happy World, think there should be a reality show, "visitors from hell" we coud be in the first show
