      Do you all keep your spare bed made with clean linen or put fresh stuff on when required?

      When required as some people still bring sleeping bags...:D

      how frequently are you likely to have visitors?
      If I had a spare bed I would keep it made up -just to prevent it beoming a dumping ground TBH

      Very rarely and I am inclined to do as you say for that reason. I can't decide whether to wash the sheets and have them clean or wait until we have guests coming and do them then so they are fresh. We never have any impromptu visits so I wouldn't be caught out.

      ETA Valli, even more purty numbers now!

      If you keep it made up with another sheet over it, you can just whip that sheet off when guests are due.

      Hope everyone's well. I'm going to be missing not in action for a few days....managed to put my back out coughing and finding it very hard to move. Not the end of the world but being forced to do very little. Hugs to you all. I'm with you in spirit.

      Boddy - the lego arrived and Jinky has given them the snowman and christmas tree to go with the playmobil nativity scene. I think Christmas Elf Boddy is going to give them the parrot....it's lovely! Thanks again xx

      Hope to be back on board soon xx
