Things you do to keep up appearances

Light hearted! What do you do to keep up appearances with neighbours/other people. I know I shouldn’t give a flying feck what people think but I can’t help it!

My most common habit is getting up at 8am to open the curtains around the house and then going back to bed for a lovely lie in until 10 a few days a week. It’s so the neighbours don’t find out how slovenly I am 😁 I’m so. Everyone in my neighbourhood seems to be up at 7 and I’m just not that person.

Can’t think of any others but would live to hear yours!

I am the complete opposite to you Grin
Up usually between 6 & 7 every morning with ds and dbaby. By the evening I am exhausted. I would gladly pull all the blinds at 6pm but I leave them open until I go to bed so that the neighbours dont know I've crashed out on the couch for the evening.

I quickly tidy the house before the window cleaner comes when I see him working his way up the street!

I’ve got really fancy hand soap in a pump that I put in the downstairs loo if we have visitors. If we don’t have visitors there’s a bar of Dove in there on one of those tiny wee rubber mats.
