Hubby says tell them that they have until such and such time and then you need the shed for your car and that is it. If it is not out by that time then you are going to be forced to move it out. ]]> Sun, 20 Jun 2010 18:32:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34138&PID=1069985&title=question-about-friends#1069985 <![CDATA[question about friends : get the stuff out, stick it on...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34138&PID=1069846&title=question-about-friends#1069846 Author: hcsmum

Obviously they are taking you for granted....not what I would call friends....

If you don't want to upset them or lose their friendship then I say put up with it......but if you have come to realise that they are just using you & talking advantage then tell them to either collect there stuff this weekend from your front lawn or bring a tarpaulin & cover it up & leave it at their own risk (it wont be there long thanks to the locals)

My friend pays approx $150 a week for storage...you could ring around find out how much it would cost then & then offer your garage cheaper...just a thought ]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 08:31:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34138&PID=1068745&title=question-about-friends#1068745 <![CDATA[question about friends : SarahMM wrote:Invite them around...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34138&PID=1068716&title=question-about-friends#1068716 Author: TysMummy

Yeah, lay the smack down lol. They are taking advantage of you, when their stuff could be in storage. It's your space, so either turf it out or start charging rent! (Easy to say, but I would be the first one asking DH to 'lay the smack down')

They are the ones damaging the friendship by taking advantage of you.
