    Sorry, times are tough. One spare room is now used for growing cannabis plants and the other is used for making meth.

    I wouldn't even suggest a B&B because this woman could lie and say she has booked one. Then you OP say "yes come over", but once the woman lands on your door step, she will say "Oh the B&B was booked out, can we stay here"?
    You will then feel you need to let her stay and so the whole bullsh!t will begin again, loud TV, daughter checking knives and forks etc etc.

    You just need to be firm and say it isn't suitable for them to come around anymore. I just find the situation strange in that the daughter also comes around as well. How old is the daughter. Do you even like this woman? Would you consider her a friend?

    If you really don't want to burn your house down simply come down with a case of amnesia.

    When she rings and asks if it's okay for her to stay just ask 'who is this? Jerrica? I don't know any Jerrica. How did you get this number? No, I wouldn't have given it to you, I've never been to the hospital. I don't even have a house, I live in a bedsit in Offaly. Now, so sorry to bother you at this late hour but can I interest you in a lovely set of curtains...'

    Just go on spouting random nonsense at her till she hangs up. It always works for me anyway.

    Sounds like she's trying to move her mother into your house permanently, next thing you know they'll be charging YOU rent.

    Just tell them to **** OFF.

    If she mentions coming again I am going to tell her out straight that we will make it once a year for a few days in the summer which i wouldnt really mind and if she takes offence to this so be it.

    No more holiday camps here
    I am mad with myself now Its my bloody house

    I am going to say no. I am going to say no
    I will say NO :):)

    DO say no and make it quite clear. Seriously the daughter only just started back at college and the mum was looking to come to you, she'd be at it all the time if you let her. I'm guessing she maybe even has a travel pass so it might not cost a cent to get there, free board and lodgings etc ah sure it's wonderful -for THEM!

    Definitely get her told before it escalates. If you can't then get hubby to do it.

    That's a brilliant idea. OP, correct the woman's grammar/spelling as much as you possibly can. She won't want to stay with you so much anymore. Problem solved. And noone had to burn anyone's house down.

    Ah lulu you're so sweet - tell her to do one!
    I was stalked once by an old lady I met in hospital years ago, she seemed so sweet but had me sending her weed on a weekly basis at one point.. It eased the pain during her chemo she said, the poor pet. Had to be firm though and nip it in the bud.

    Ratty invited Mole to stay though so he could learn to row so I wouldn't blame Mole there. It was kind of cheeky to go off through the woods to visit Badger alright especially since Badger was hibernating at the time. Overall though he was grateful to them all and was very loyal. Leave Mole alone!

    I was in a bad mood, I feel absosultely ashamed for the nasty things I said about Mole, I do apologize.
