Gosh, is that the time?You look exhausted!
Who's driving, or can I call you a taxi?
Now where did I put your coats?
You did bring a coat didn't you?
I've been trimming the front garden hedge, come and see!
Bye then.
Thanks for coming.
Brrrr, cold for the time of year.

Except for my old mother in law for some reason she always came back.
The skin of a lizard that one had, got to like her in the end and I think she me.

I don't think it has ever happened to me, apart perhaps from a stubborn double glazing rep who insisted on dragging the quote out for as long as possible, then he got the hump when I told him to leave.17-01-2020, 11:17 PM

I've got things to do, phone calls to make, lawns to mow yada yada. IT's been great to see you but I need you to go now. HOnest, civil, to the point but very clear. If they ignore that just start doing what you need to do and leave them sitting there. If that doesn't work then it's time to make reference to urination and negative power polarity.

Have some stale biscuits in stock and offer them some tepid tea. I wouldn't do this myself but if anyone did this to me if I visit them I'd be leaving sharpish. Or show them your holiday snaps. Or tell them your health problems. Most people like to talk about themselves so if you start telling them your own ailments they will make an excuse and leave. Or even offer to show them your ailments.The danger in putting your coat on and feigning a trip is that they might offer you a lift there or say they will accompany you. Maybe best to put on wellies and take the dog for a walk in a muddy field. If they are wearing wellies too, have a swim kit ready to go to your local health club (members only).
If they do catch you in the garden ask them to give you a hand with the digging and weeding. Bound to weaken even the most attached visitor....if they do hang around then at least you have your garden chores done.
