My OH's family is messed up. The two sisters on his dad's side have always been rude and bitchy to me (7years) for no apparent reason. They drink heavily, are loud and opinionated and will often end up arguing with anyone who is around. I just ignore the comments, stay pleasant and wait for OH to decide he's had enough and then we get the hell out of Dodge before it all kicks off (again).

We last saw them at Christmas which was like an Eastenders Special, and one of the sisters was foul to me for chatting to her brother who she was annoyed with (honestly it is this petty).

So now this sister has invited herself and her boyfriend to stay at our house next week. We live in London so she is using us as a hotel so they can go to the theatre (The Lion King ffs) and not have to drive back to the coast. I'm really hacked off as last time we saw her (Christmas) she was foul to me plus our house is in the middle of major building works, we have no kitchen (just a microwave and toaster in the living room). I can't believe OH said yes without asking me. I wish I had the balls to call her and tell to reconsider, but I'm such a wimp.

Salmotrutta I've just spent ages reading through all the pages in your link. So funny.

Ring her up and ask her to bring her own bedding with her as you have the builders in...

If she asks why, just keep repeating that they need to bring their own bedding as the builders are in and it's really inconvenient so the least they can do is bring their own bedding. I know it's not logical particularly but it's certainly a reasonable request.

Then you are being perfectly reasonable and they will be the ones that are unreasonable if they don't - and you can tell them that you don't have any ready for them as you had asked them to bring their own. Plus it means you don't have to mess around with any washing bedding for them Grin
