popped in for glass of wine 7 hours ago, no sign of leaving, despite having wife and poorly child waiting for him at home. Want him to leave now, any tips?

Take him round to your neighbours to wish them happy new year and then go home leaving him there. Result Grin Grin

But dont do it if you live next to me!

Give him a rent book and demand payment.

If you want to remain on good terms, how about "do you fancy a cup of tea before you go or are you needing to get up the road now?"

TheFormidableMrsC · 01/01/2016 00:27

Register him for council tax.

Hissy · 01/01/2016 00:33

Please tell me he's gone...?

My friend who is normally rubbish at controlling situations and is a bit of a martyr, is excellent at these situations

She says
"Anyone for coffee?"
When they say yes, she say "thank you, goodbye" and opens the door. Works everytime, but a drunk brain can't always compute.

Say out loud everyone, anyone for coffee :)

is he still there???

Pancakeflipper · 01/01/2016 01:06

Do a Bay City Rollers impersonation with a scarf and sing bye bye baby.

Or Sound of music - so Long farewell...

Or Fuck off home.

allowme · 01/01/2016 01:08

My DH always says "anyone fuckoffee?" Grin

spillyobeans · 01/01/2016 01:20

Ditsy4 · 01/01/2016 01:46

Maybe she went to bed. Love the so long farewell good idea.

TendonQueen · 01/01/2016 01:53

He didn't leave til 2.30am???

TheBunnyOfDoom · 01/01/2016 09:21

Why didn't you just tell him to go? Confused

He doesn't sound very nice, I have to say - buggering off out on NYE and leaving his wife at home with a sick child while he imposes himself on other people for 10 hours. Charming.

QuietTiger · 01/01/2016 09:39

I'm just really direct (not rude though) and it works.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to kick you out now/in 5 minutes because I need to get on with A/B/C.."

IME, people either don't worry about the directness and are fine, or if I don't know them so well, are a bit Shock but leave anyway. I never feel guilty about it either.

Dipankrispaneven · 01/01/2016 10:10

He was there 10 hours???? Why didn't you ask him whether he knew where the door was?

RideEmCowgirl · 01/01/2016 13:21

Well it's 2hrs into the New Year so you've broken that New Resolution already!

mrsfuzzy · 01/01/2016 14:07

make cocoa and whistle the national anthem in your pjs, mners of a certain age will get this ! ;)

bloodyteenagers · 01/01/2016 15:22

Don't understand why people don't just say, well it was nice to see you. Bye. And usher them to the door.
I've never done the pjs thing (usually already in them), the fake puking.. Just direct bye. Saves hours of faffing around. Its your home. You get to say when enough is enough. Parties are even easier. Music gets turned off, quickly followed by thanks for coming. Hope you enjoyed it. Will do it again.

WitchWay · 01/01/2016 16:01

agree bloody - in the past I've just said "Right then, it's time you went home!" & herded them out of the door Grin

No recent parties here Sad but I'd still use this approach!

TeaFathers · 01/01/2016 19:34

cheeky bastard.
bloody hell.
but the good news is...............you have now identified your new year's resolution.
