How do I get out of this

[Shithole101]

A few people may know that I dine some strange /nit the norm type of decorating.
A few months or so ago wjen I was using a jigsaw and it was getting a bit late i thought I better knock and ask if the noise was bothering her . She said she couldn't hear it and asked what I was doing. So I showed her.

She was saying its nice etc she wants it in her home can I do it for her etc . But I thought she was just being nice. So I just laughed it off.

When I just saw her she asked if she can pop in on Wednesday.

People in my house is just to much for me I cant do it. It feels like the end of the world and its making me feel churned up .

The other thing is I really honestly can't help with someone else's decorating or simlar. I cant be responsible for that . Its all good me doing my own and playing about a bit . But I honestly cant or someone else..

Don't do it then? Just say no? Or do it without complaining? Say sorry you can't help at this time due to other commitments.

What’s your question?

Tell her you’re sorry but you can’t do it? Seems quite easily resolved

Just say you can't do it now because you don't have time/your jigsaw broke/you have an injury/you just dont want to.

Send her a YouTube video to teach herself how to do whatever it is.

Just say you only do it for yourself and wouldn't comfortable decorating for anyone else.

Just explain exactly that (it’s one thing you playing about for your own house but not for other people).

I make dresses for me and people often ask me to make them one. Absolutely not. Firstly, it takes WAY longer and fabric costs much more than they think it would be, and secondly the inside is usually such a mess I wouldn’t want to do it for anyone else! And that is what I say, when I am asked.

Yesh I guess so. Its just hard to say no . But I do have to.

Just laugh it off and say 'god no way would I trust myself with someone else's house'. Done.

You need to practise saying no OP. My neighbour is forever trying to get me and husband to do stuff for her. Whether it's decorating or going to the tip or cutting her garden back. I say the same thing. We get one day off a week and if she gets a sniff that we've got AL booked I pad out the list of things we're doing so there's no time. She has the hide of a rhino but it's a fucking no way, because it never ends.

Tell her you're up to your eyes and can't help her but you hope she finds someone.
