Only three days Limpy 

After three hours I have had enough.

My little dog has never had fleas up until now of course. She gets treated regularly and then all you can do is hope. I just can't keep her off furniture, she thinks she is a cat and jumps and climbs.
I don't allow her on our bed...that's just not an option...even though she doesn't like it at all.

I used to love entertaining and having people to stay. Not any more. Is this just an age thing....an I have enough to do already thing....or I just can't be bothered. All I know is I just can't be bothered any more.

Me neither . I just can't relax the same even when they are very good friend's 

Mind you I always preferred to go to them then I could leave when I'd had enough,or they had enough of me

Hehehe! Not just me and my sensitive nose then?  My outlaws were here for my birthday (not my bloomin idea) and I could smell 'em before I got further than the back door. Smelly shoes in my kitchen... made me 

I like guests visiting when we agree dates (not have them foisted on us), they stay for max 3-4 days and help out when they are here and I'm still at work.

The outlaws landed on us, I waited on them and then they went home without much thanks.

[Limpy]

The daft thing is I feel like that even when I LIKE the the guests.

Think Galadriel's right about agreeing dates and not having them foisted on us.

You took the words out of my mouth Limpy - except in our house, 'guests are like meat; 1st day they are OK, 2nd day they go off, 3rd day …….. '

Talking of fleas I've been bitten  ………… and I don't think by fleas

I love guests although once a cousin from overseas came to stay....and by week 6 my patience was severely stretched.  ???Fortunately she got the hint eventually (and hasn't been invited back since). 

I find having teenage girls usually keeps visitors at bay, or to shorter visits. Can't possibly understand why?

I haven't hosted an over-nighter for 12 years.  When we lived by the coast we had regular visitors for 2 weeks at a time, we both continued working or going to Lectures.  They had to make their own entertainment in the day time.  One guy lands intermittently from Down Under and he's no trouble, I make the bed up, give him a key and he's in and out as necessary. 

Are you still browing, potential guests >wave<    come on in and join us!

[dazned]

Yes they still a bit shy 

Whoo hooo come on in all welcome x

[Dorothy]

Well as you've just compared them to fleas  and said that they will stink after 3 days (or even 3 hours)  do you still expect them to join us? 

[CLKD]

Yep - they'll be in Good Company  ……….

Hello ladies.

I had to comment on this one.
I am pretty anti social these days so any thought of a human guest fills me with panic, I do have a flea story though.
When one of our cats had fleas I managed to catch one of the critters, place it on a glass slide and put it under the children's microscope.  The kids were less than impressed but I thought it was educational  (David Attenborough eat your heart out ).

Best wishes ladies and take care.

Fleas stick to surface tension as I found out when I thought I had flushed 11 down our loo  - wrong  ……… they jumped from the water onto the porcelain and sat in wait …………
