    Oh my gosh I finally have a name for it :D i am definitely a CHAOS person!

    My OH doesn't understand me when I spend the day tidying and cleaning the house from top to bottom when I know somebody is coming round :o

    Thank you

    Burp... my OH doesn't understand it either. He used to just invite people round whenever it felt like it... now he knows better!

    I suppose they're men, they'll never really understand.

    Burp it is an acronym Cant Have Anyone Over Syndrome CHAOS - it is when you dread short notice visitors, and would (in my case) often die of shame if the meter reading perosn knocked on the front door and you had to let them in. It comes form the original american flylady site.

    Sorry - cross posted with everyone else!

    WM on again, bedding is dry ready to go back on. I have kept away from the biscuits but did have 2 syns worth of jelly beans to cheer me up.
