DP's sister lives across the road from us and is moving back home tomorrow. She can't fit all of her stuff in her parents car (they brought their smaller car and their dog so there's very little space really). We were over helping carry things down to the car for her when she took DP aside to say that there were several larger items she couldn't fit in the car and asked if we would keep them for her.
The items include a chest of drawers, ironing board, tv stand, large bin, clothes airer etc. She said it was fine for us to use them but we already have all of these things ourselves so we'd have to put them away in our big storage cupboard.
She's planning on coming back to live here if/when she finds a job so we don't know how long we'd have to keep the items for but under any other circumstances we'd have said yes, of course. However, we're moving ourselves in two weeks and already have a van load of stuff. In addition, the new flat has much less storage space (no big cupboards) and already has far too much furniture (and three large bins?!) so I'm not sure where we could keep it, especially in the long term.
DP said we could keep it until we move if she wanted to come back for it within the next fortnight which I thought was fair but now I'm feeling a bit guilty. She has a boyfriend (with a car who lives at home) so he could probably take it for her instead. Would it be rude of me to suggest that?
