About 2 months ago my friend dropped off some car seats here on the way to a date they car seats are still in my flat although I have asked her to grab them she always says well why don’t I come round for a wine and pick them up but when I say I have stopped drinking so is no longer free to collect am I unfair to text to say I’m putting them outside please collect them. For conte t I have two children in a tiny one bed flat and there’s are two big car seats

Definitely tell her you need them gone as they are in the way and you will put them outside tomorrow morning for her to collect.

I agree. Tell her they will be outside in a bag for her and you won't take any responsibility for them if she chooses not to come and collect them.

Did she lend them to you for your children or were you a convenient staorage place at the time . That makes a difference I think. If the first then you have a responsibility to return them eg via a taxi . How is she managing without the car seats ?

Yep tell her they’ll be on the doorstep tomorrow for her as you don’t have the room.

Yes text and say ‘I don’t have the space so will be popping the seats outside for you to collect at 9 am tomorrow !’

I find ‘!’ Lightens the mood for this kind of thing 😂
