Ann Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 IF you found out that you're having guests in 30 minutes, would you be ready??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmydad Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 NO WAY....PANIC My house is in a constant state of mess with an ever present layering of white labrador hair...even though I do try to sweep daily. I will NEVER be remembered for my housekeeping skills. Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 I would have to do one of those "grab-it and stash-it" cleans. For me, this consiste of running through the house, grabbing everything that's out of place and then stashing it in a spare bedroom. This, along with a quick vacumn (golden retriever hair) and a quick spray of air freshner should get me through a surprise visit! Of course, I have no idea what I'd throw together for dinner...lol!

Bev'sSister Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 YES...because I would grab my purse and get in my car and run to the local bar and wait it out til everyone gave up and went home. I sound like a grinch, but I could not imagine having 30 guests in my home right now..it frightens me to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I would be ready, because what you see is what you get. I no longer worry about what my house looks like. I hope they are coming over to see Alan and I and not my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yes I believe I would be ready. Plenty of beer always, food is just a phone call away. Depending on who it is, I may do the dash and stash, or I may not. Maybe a scented candle, mainly because I am addicted to scented candles. Anyone that requires more than that is a pest, not a guest, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patut Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Almost. I've learned to keep certain things in my cupboard to be ready. Since my grandkids are always popping in I need to be stocked. Also, what they see is what they get. I'm not out to impress anybody any more. Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristynlg15 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Definatly NOT!!

Id probably sit real quiet and pretend i didnt hear the bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyka69 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Nope. I'd be at the bar with Bobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shineladysue Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Got room for one more at the bar? Definitely not ready, would hide or run. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Guests are always welcome. My house is never really a mess but sometimes my desk is mess. I'm with the others. I used to worry about those things. Now I just say this is me and if you want to visit you will take me and my house as we are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieJane Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 definitely NOT ready. I share my home with a three year old and two big dogs, so the mess is just a part of life. I can deal with it, but I would hate to subject anyone else to it. Besides, our house is waaay too small for 30 people...it barely fits two people and two dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Was it ONE guest coming in 30 minutes, or 30 guests coming at once????? I would need a bigger coffee pot if it was 30. If it was just one or two, I'd welcome them right in... What you see is what you get around here! I keep the house very clean, but if they wanted to see a mess, all they would have to do is look inside my closets or in my cabinets! Everything is all jumbled and jammed in those! I laughed when I pictured NYKA and Bobbi running out the door as fast as possible, and heading to the "pub", to hide out til they all went away!

Patti B Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If I can go to the pub, too, I will buy!!! The thought of 30 people in my house at one time makes me shiver!! Patti B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have joked for years that I keep my house '20 minutes to Pope ready', meaning if he called to say he was coming and he would be there in 20 minutes, my house (excluding drawers and closets) would be 'Pope ready'. Food is another story. I hope they like pizza. Drinks I could handle. Another joke, when I moved to my townhouse, I had one box of cookbooks and 24 boxes of wine, booze and wine glasses. What does that say about me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welthy Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 "ginnyde" when I moved to my townhouse, I had one box of cookbooks and 24 boxes of wine, booze and wine glasses. What does that say about me?? I'd be over the back fence and heading to Ginnyde's house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 If it were today I would be ready because the cleaning fairy came. I can be Pope ready only on Wednesdays. I think we should all head to Ginny's for some holiday cheer (24 boxes?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetiegirl Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I want the cleaning fairy at my house because I would surly NOT be ready. I have a sign in my house that reads as follows If you come to see me come any time If you come to see my house make an appointment In my house dust bunnies have friends called cob webs I always forget to look UP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
