To never invite an MNer to my house again due to .......

[Mamazon]

This thread

honestly. I didn't realise so much went in to inviting your mate round for coffee.

i normally have a very open house policy and have people in and out all the time but i think i may have to reconsider now.
god knows what people must think about my own lax housework skills.

I figure people come to see me, not my house

Agreed! An opportunity for a good catch-up and a good coffee does me fine...

well i don't have shoe's on upstairs buti have a toilet downstairs so no need for occasional visitors to have to remove shoes.

I often wonder at just how bad carpets would be when i sweep up my wood floors. they don't look too filthy but then i sweep up and see a huge pile of nastyness. god knows what a carpet would look like after 10 minutes.

but i do use liquid soap......but thats more the fact that its easier for the kids to use

ROFLing heartily at the idea that books are 'full of old ideas' on the other thread.

Marvellous.

it was the lack of soap DMriven...still don't get how that works - what if you've been doing a really dirth job? But I have

fake flowers
which just trumps them all

BTW are we allowed to shorted your name to r&&&n, or are you trying to make it not searchable?

and I haven't been following the bookcase saga - are bookcases full of books good or bad? Or do they have to be worthy books?

Quite the contrary, LSPB, books are apparently 'pretentious' showing-off of one's learnedness. And they are full of 'old ideas' so you have to regularly dump them all and buy new books full of new ideas. Or something. I lost the will to read on at that point tbh.

ah well we have some worthy books (mostly DH's, but he does read them) some cheap ones that I will read again and one shelf (I limit myself, although do double stack) of my trashy reading, which gets swapped or taken to charity shop when it gets full.

Oh, well, you probably pass the test then. I would fail hopelessly. Hey ho.
