That's a tricky one. You don't want to hurt their feelings, so try something roundabout, like, 'I'd love to come! Will you be serving salmonella or botulism as the main course?'

Thought you were joking. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

The floor is her idea of a washing basket, fag dimps stubbed out on random plates and saucers, mouldy cat crap in the litter tray, and that's just the kitchen, I don't use the bog there.

Yes. I have a very heavy leather trenchcoat. It's black and worn but oh so comfortable.
Are you a synth?
Why would I be a synthesizer? Lolz

How is her personal hygiene? Perhaps it's nearing her birthday and you could get her a lovely basket of hints, I mean soaps and bath salts?

She takes pretty good care of herself strangely, I think she's just got used to living that way. Good suggestion though, I could get her some bleach and a mop and bucket

Sadly, sometimes people need honest friends to give them a gentle wake up call. I equate this to being a former smoker. When you are a smoker, you don't notice that you smell like an ashtray. Once you are no longer around cigarettes on a daily basis, you start to become very aware of cigarette smells.
I notice it still now, nearly 14 months after I successfully quit smoking cigarettes. It makes me feel nauseated and because my other half refuses to quit smoking, I will not kiss him at all.
So maybe what your friend needs is some gentle honesty. Instead of giving her excuses for why you don't want to come over to eat, be honest. I have five cats in my house. Our litter boxes get cleaned twice a day. You'd never know there was cats here unless you actively looked for them because my house doesn't smell.

Thanks Joods, I'll give it a try, well done for quitting smoking too.

My workplace called me:
"Oh, you need to make sure the call lights are within the patient's reach before you leave for the day."
Bitch, please, do you know how many patients push their call lights to the floor and off the bed during a given shift, especially between shifts?
Don't be calling me about that stupid shit.

Those dogs are happier than average human. They are definitely happier than me.
