They are the ones damaging the friendship by taking advantage of you.
If it were me (esp in my current state) I'd be completely blunt and tell them to come and pick it up by the end of the weekend or it is going out on the street.
Maybe you could put the car cover over it to help keep it dry?

I agree, I would be blunt and tell them it will be left outside if they haven't come to collect it by XX time.

They are definitely taking advantage, that's so unfair.

anyone in the waikto and feels like a sale let me know

Tell them straight up, you need the space, it can't stay there any longer, if they don't take it away by Sunday it will be out on the curb for whoever wants it.

What sort of stuff? haha

I would put it next to shed and put a tarp or car cover over it.

Yeah, lay the smack down lol. They are taking advantage of you, when their stuff could be in storage. It's your space, so either turf it out or start charging rent! (Easy to say, but I would be the first one asking DH to 'lay the smack down')
Give them a few days notice and then by all means have a garage sale.

Go bash them with some phone books and tell them that they are now taking the piss.. .and if it's not gone by the weekend you will be delivering back to them and leaving it on the footpath

yeah i understand that but we are in more sh*t then they are and they go out for dinner every night or takeways when we have noodles......

a couple of simple sentences...

"you told us a week. its been *x* weeks. if its not out by *x* days/weeks/date it will be on the front lawn. its our shed. we were nice to start with but now its beyond inconvinient. get rid of it or we get rid of it for you" and if you pop a garage sale sign on it you wouldnt have to live on noodles
