I've had a houseful of people from overseas for 10 days and am waving goodbye to them tomorrow. I'm desperately looking forward to having my house back; they're mostly lovely people but I don't usually share my livingspace with 6 others and I'm getting twitchy. Two of the Americans are coming back briefly after a trip to France and they're fine, but I'm ready to kill one of the others - an opinionated Guatemalan sociology professor with the loudest voice and an incredible snore like I've never heard before (and I've heard some foghorns and chainsaws in my time); it's enough to wake the dead. It doesn't matter where I go in my house; I can hear him through earplugs, numerous doors and sleeping pills. Unsurprisingly he's single. I shall disencourage his presence from future group visits.
Who was your most difficult houseguest?

My half brother and his wife. I had not seen him for years and had never met her at all. As I was living overseas I offered them a holiday.
They intended to stay for 2 weeks, I chucked them out after 36 hours!
To cut a long story short, they were both alcoholics. I've never heard from them since.
I still can't believe I had the guts to get rid of them, but it had to be done, they were a total nightmare!

I don't have any horror stories. The worst thing that ever happened was a friend rearranging my spice rack so I couldn't make my favourite curry any more as I couldn't remember what went in it!
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

My worst houseguest was my father-in-law God rest his soul. When he was alive he was a nightmare.
He had my and OH's room as we couldn't expect him and MIL to sleep in bunk beds at their age. Well he smoked in my bedroom with the kids asleep in the next room and burnt my bedroom carpet (at that time it wa the only decent carpet in the whole house)
At various other times he wet my bed and weed on my sofa
I could go on...
Bless him.
This week I am mostly

last summer I stupidly invited my ds best friend to stay for a week...i thought my ds was a typical boy and a bit of a nightmare, my opinion soon changed and when his mate went home my ds came out of the situation as a little angel no wonder the mother chewed my arm off when I invited him to stay....the week was full of " but my mum lets me do this"....and "my dad doesnt do it like that"....i was like "well thank f*** im not your parents and all the time your here we do things MY WAY!! you little ***&%$£!"
Bring back mark and lard NOW! or else (please) clique member no. 10

Sadly it's my dad! God bless him I live him to bits but my God he's such an untidy sod! Whenever my parents visit the kitchen turns into a bombsite from just two slices of toast and a cup of tea and the front room turns into what appears to be a newspaper recycling facility!
