    This isn't a biggie, however I just want to ensure I handle it correctly.
    I'm living with my OH and we are happy.
    A friend has moved down to where we are and needs a place to stay. They asked could, while they were finding a place, stay with us. I said no problem. I stressed that it was temporary, and that space was an issue - but, that you're welcome.
    Now they still are welcome, only I'm beginning to wonder if I wasn't clear enough. They are here 2 weeks now, but I haven't seen any sign of looking for a place. No going to see houses, now looking at the papers etc.. Now this could all be happening in work, but it's not clear. Now I don't have a problem, but I'd like to prevent this ever becoming a problem. If you know what I mean. And I don't want to sour things, but I don't want to find them staying another 2 weeks if you know what I mean.
    Any advice/experience/help/suggestions appricated.
    TNX

    Ask them how house hunting is going.
    Look up suitable houses on daft or similar and print them out for the friends.
    They should get the point.

    Agree with Biko :) And if they are your friends (must be good ones as you let them move in), then you should be able to tell them how you feel and the truth? Does not have to be so dramatic.

    Start with asking, as Biko said, how the house hunting is going. And if they havent started, ask if they need help as you like to have them around, but not forever ;) Just say it with a smile or in ajoking manner and I doubt they will take offence. After all you are the one doing them a favor. GL :)

    Yep, every day casually ask how the househunting is going, next step start printing off ideas for them and hopefully by that stage they'll be outta your hair.
