    I think this is really rude, ring them and tell them that you've had a good look at your pasture and you won't have the feed for them. Then tell them to come and get them, if they don't, ring the council to come get them. Doesn't sound like you're going to be losing any good relationships!

    Well I just spoke to my husband, we were going to relent and let them stay an extra 3 weeks but after explaining everything to DH properly and quoting "good fences make good neighbours"
    and telling him how the wife walked off down my driveway midsentence because I was insinuating they couldn't stay

    We are insisting they go tomorrow.

    Thanks everyone I think people treat you how you allow them to treat you.

    Precisely! well done sweetheart.... be firm but fair and people will respect you for it. You won't necessarily be liked more if you let people walk all over you. I know what it's like living in the country... my family are famers... I know it can be tricky but in this instance you are doing the right thing by reinstating your tangible and non-tangible boundaries!
