So embarrassed by unexpected guests

We were having a really slobby day yesterday. It was mid afternoon and we were all in our pyjamas. There was leftover lunch in various places (thanks to my 2 and 4 year olds), crumbs all over the floor and piles of washing everywhere. This is actually quite unusual for me, I'm usually on top of things but it had been a tiring week and DH hasn't been well, so I've been managing by myself a lot.

Then there is a knock on the door; friends who we hadn't seen for ages and had just been passing by. Caught off guard, I enthusiastically welcomed them in.

It's now 4am and I can't sleep because I'm so embarrassed about the state the house was in. I feel like I never want to see them again!

Not sure why I'm posting this, perhaps someone can make me feel better?? Gah!

I actually love people dropping by (nobody ever ever ever does- my friends live over and hour away and would not be in the area) BUT I totally feel fo you. A number of ‘I can’t believe we were in such a state’ texts and it’ll be fine!hope you had a fun time xx

Mumsnet don’t allow rude people popping by your house.

MNers don't allow anyone in let alone answer the door . It's one of the many boundaries 😄
