They're treating you like a doormat - stop it or you will make yourself miserable. Only do what you want to do!
Ask yourself "Would they do this for me?" If the answer is no then you tell them that you can't help them as you have other plans.
Don't volunteer or take the hints that they throw at you. If they ask you to do a favour don't automatically say yes, say "If I can." Then say, "I'll get back to you." I love that one coz if you don't get back to them and they come back to you, you can say "Oh I was so busy I forgot to call you back."
These ways you don't seem to be outright rude and eventually they get the message - that you have a very busy life and can't sort out their messes for them!!
Is it normal to feel like I'm being used by everyone
