Guests invited until tomorrow. Been here since 23 rd with general idea to go between c mas and new year.
Heard one lot say to another , oh how long are you staying.? . they replied ..oh maybe till the new year. ..
I could not just holler .. what ..?? From a distance across kitchen.
So , said to them later , what did you say about stating longer .. ? They shrugged it off and changed the subject
I said i needed to know . Evasive .
I repeated that we needed to know for food etc and they just said oh well we could get food .
I have had this before and struggled .we live in a beautiful area of natural beauty where people go on holiday and they do relax .
anyone had this before ? If so , do I need to directly say please leave ..and if so how ! Without causing offence ?
They know
us well and I am struggling to ask them to go . If i say we have other guests due , ( a lie and dont want to lie ) I think they would just say oh no problem , we can all muck in , offer to sleep on camp bed if bo room .. I jusy want ghem to go .

"So it's leaving day today, it's been great catching up but back to reality! I'll make xxx for breakfast then you can set off mid-morning. "

"I should have been a bit more clear earlier. I was just taken aback when I heard your plans. We really need quiet family time for the new year and we just wont cope with guests staying longer. When we chatted about this, we agreed youd leave after christmas and we've already planned out our alone time so I'd really appreciate it if we could set a day for you going. How about the tomorrow/insert date here?"
