Perhaps it's just the time of year but we seem to be getting an awful lot of visitors who are interrupting our peace.
One of our children have come to stay with us over Xmas and blow me, our Son, wife and their two children turned up yesterday unannounced to stay until Xmas Eve.
We also have visitors from overseas staying locally who are calling in at least once a day for coffee, lunch or dinner and they're all driving me mad.
Now we're getting older we just want to be free to do our own visiting on on own terms. I've said to all the kids that this is the last year I'm doing Xmas Dinner. After that we're going to one of theirs in rotation each year. There will be no more periods of them staying over for days or weeks with me having to spend hundreds of pounds in food and drink.
Are we just being miserable old gits?
