Is your house “visitor ready”?

[CharliesAngles]

Right now?

Much is made of this on MN, so if there was a surprise knock on your door now, would you be happy with the state of your home to allow your visitors in?

Right this second it is but a couple of hours ago no, definitely not.

Don’t be ridiculous, I need at least 24 hours.

Yes, but only just. I'd rather it was tidier, and the kitchen floor could do with a clean, but it's not too bad overall. As long as the visitor stayed downstairs!! Upstairs is definitely not visitor ready.

In short, no.

I work from home two days a week, and most things have its place so it’s a yes from me.
Weekends though, are definitely “take us as you find us”! 😁

Always, people can take us as they find us.

Yes it always is

Is it fuck 🤣

They’d still be welcome though.

I'm glad to say yes! The cushions and blankets in the livingroom could do with a tidy but that's fine! Come on in!

Ah!

The question here is Are the visitors ready for my house?

🐕🐕🐕🐕

Absolutely not. In fact thank you for the reminder, my MIL is coming over this evening and there are muddy cat footprints through the kitchen and living room. And two piles of laundry on the sofa. Sigh.

Yeah it's ok

It’s fine. I mean, it doesn’t look like a show home, but my friends and family aren’t the type to require that.

Yes.

We're not a show home.

We live here. Presumably that's why a guest would come though, because we live here?

There's books and cars all over the floor, lunch dishes stacked next to the sink, slow cooker on and we're crafting with stickers. Come on in.

Yes always! I’d say our house is generally clean, lived in and comfortable so not a show home but generally tidy and presentable. I’d let anyone in without notice and not worry- if they’re bothered about some kids toys or a few dishes then that’s on them 🤣 I am generally very tidy though!

Yes. Pretty much. I mean, I'd be taking them through to the kitchen and the lounge, right? So long as they aren't wandering into bedrooms or the utility rooms, I'm good to go.

Mine is until my daughter comes home from school.....

Yes, but I live alone so don't have anyone else's mess to pick up.

My house is visitor ready 1 day a week when I do my big clean, of course no one visits on that day and they prefer to come when it looks like an elephant stampede has just ran through it.

Well, It's quite cluttered, and I need to load the dishwasher, but on the plus side I did wash all the floors yesterday, so it's cleanish. The loo is always clean. So: my friends would be fine, possibly not King Charles.

Yes usually is now but it's something iv struggled with in the past. Iv found it a lot easier to keep on top of it since I got rid of loads of crap and made it minimalistic

No way!

In fact, we've got an estate agent around for a viewing shortly which I'm dreading is the house is a mess. And I've spent Monday and this morning tidying.

We basically need a huge sort out and bin.

Depends who!

My mum - yes

OFSTED - no

Usually yes but currently remodelling the hallway and there is a rather large hole. If they can get over that house is all ok except my bedroom has clean washing all over bed waiting to be put away

Yes- take me as you find me !
