a friend of mine has just moved to the Uk she has been staying in a bed and breakfast along with her 5 year old daughter and her brother. She recently asked me if she could move in with me for a while as I have told her she can take over the house we live in cos we just bought another house and are waiting for a date so we can move in I said yes to her but thats because it was an unexpected question and I had just woken up and got biten by a spider so I was in tears and was in a hurry to go take my son to school. The weekend prior to that I had them over and it was nice but too over croweded and my husband works night shift twice a week so my daughter slept with me I only have a three bed house and we each have our own rooms my son my daughter and me and my hubby so Id feel my space is being invaded its the whole reason we bought a new house cos this one feels too smal for us already! she comes up this weekend dont mind here here for a week but how do I say she cant stay here longer?

Try to be helpful in finding her a place to stay. Be truthful in your explanation why she can't stay with you. If you have other mutual friends try to find help from them.
A good friend should understand extenuating circumstances and be forgiving of inconvenience. If you can accomodate her a while longer until she gets situated that will help some, but basically just tell her how things are and that you are sorry.
Most people will be grateful for the help you have given already.

"You can't stay here more than a week. I know I said something other than that, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but when you asked me I was confused because I had just woken up, and unfortunately I'm just not going to be able to have you for as long as we originally discussed."
Paraphrase. If she's your friend, she'll understand. Work with her to find her another place to stay after she leaves your place.
You just gotta tell her. Stand up, be an adult, and do it.

i had a similar situation. my cousin stayed with me and my parents for like, 2 months. and so in the end it resolved on it's own though. so my advice is to just help them out until it gets resolved somehow.

you need to tell you sooner than later so she knows what she has to do. Let her know your feelings. And let her know that you apologize for any mishap
