A relative wants to visit me and he has never visited before :eek:
Should I go all out and make an effort to clean the house or let him see things as they really are?

I have about a month

A month wouldn't be enough time, or it could get messy again in that time, I'd leave it

Can you borrow a friend's tidy house for the day?

I love UFYH already. I've just joined Tumblr so I won't forget about it.
I'm praying we don't have a re-occurance of last week's cold snap, I want all my cold weather clothes away for the 'summer' and off chairs, out of ironing baskets etc.
One lives in hope.

I think I'm going to try to UF my back room in stages this week. I realised this morning as I got dressed out of the tumble drier (black chinos, top, cardi, undies and socks were all in the last wash yesterday) that the last four loads of drying were piled in varying stages of folded around the room.

Today, folding. Tomorrow, putting away. Thursday, possibly a short nap.

I was wiping down my kitchen worktop today (I know, first mistake) and realised that it had been a while since I moved the microwave (2nd mistake) and behind it I found a cup that at some point in the not too recent past I had poured some fat into from (probably) mince that I had been cooking.
I gave it a sniff and it was not too bad so put it aside while I finished cleaning (should never have started) I thought better of it and decided to empty the fat out and wash the cup, oh dear, the smell when I turned the fat out :eek: it has taken me 3 hours to shift it from both my hands and the kitchen _pale_

Moral of this story
Don't ever move the microwave again

I always pour old fat into metal cupcake cases (get hubby to keep them if he has bakewell tarts) or if we don't have any I use a foil lined cup, then when it's solid its easy to throw away (never pour fat down the sink as a blocked sink is no fun to sort out at all and takes a lot more time/effort when you could be slobbing out!

Anyway I am not normally much of a one for cleaning, but I've been having a big spring clean this year - can't say I've enjoyed 1 second of it. Today I cleaned the hob and our manky kitchen windowsill - took me all flamin' day and I don't plan on doing it again till next spring!

That said the house badly needs hoovering, I don't mind the dust but all the small stones, bits of crud & hair stick to your feet etc. and are gross!

lol!

:TWhen I was sweeping up (not frequently!) that would always freak me out. I would also come across so much hair I would wonder how I still have any . I now have super strong vacuum cleaner which can deal with this vileness!

I'm sure my wife uses this thread as a 'household cleaning manual'.
