    no reason to feel guilty on your part. Your sister on the other hand obviously was not thinking about the upheaval in your life with just moving in and the dust has not even settled.

    I think you handled it great.
    It took alot of guts but the reason you don't have alot of guilt is because you were right.
    I can't imangine 10 guests after just moving in.
    You are strong!

    Well there you go - one good thing to say about your sister and her family - they returned the bathing suits!! So when someone asks you if there is anything good you can say about them - you'll be ready!!
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    You go girl! Next time when they invite themselves down, say" we're getting a load of manure for the garden, bring lots of shovels." See if they call again!
