We have the loveliest neighbours going, we are very good friends with them, they are a retired couple and like grandparents to our children. I have keys to their house and will let myself in if they are out and I wanted to borrow the scales or something, as they would do with us (sorry- example of how close we are). We spend christmas with them and they always come to dc's parties etc, they are like family.
Anyway they have been away and had building work done whilst away. I went into the house and it is in a state, muddy footprints, dust, grub up walls etc. My neighbours like to keep a very clean house but both suffer with mobility issues. I want to go in a clean the house before they get back but the work was mainly done in the bedroom, Dh thinks its overstepping friendship, I think they'd appreciate it. I also think they will be horrified and very upset to come home to house in the state it is and would struggle to be able to sort it all themselves but would hate to ask for help.
WIBU to go and make it good for them before they come home given the close nature of our relationship.
