Help me prioritise please! I have tons to do.

Dh's employees and partners are coming to our house on the weekend.
I have to get the house clean and tidy today. It's a tip and I don't know where to start. I'm working the rest of the week, but will have a couple of hours on Friday.
What do I do today and what can I leave till Friday?
Am tempted to find a cleaner before Saturday. I want to cry.

I would leave the bathroom and lounge until Friday - they will only get messed up again before then. Blitz your kitchen, hall and dining area today.

If they are sleeping over then get the bedrooms done today aswell.

Or - if you have the money - pay for someone to do a one off clean

Now, if only I could be so decisive about my own tip of a house!

Get a feather duster or broom go into every room and tackle any cobwebs that may be hanging around(it takes a few minutes to do a whole house),wipe paintwork down in your hallway,kitchen,bedrooms if they'll be seeing them,frontroom(a spray bottle with some hot soapy water in,a cloth and a tea towel)it'll take all of an hour for all rooms but it makes a house gleam.

If you have lots of stuff hanging around like old bills,paperwork ect and you won't have time to sort them out before the weekend,then just file them somewhere no one will see them till you have time to get round to them

Air the house Friday morning whilst your getting ready for work(I like to light some scented candles as well)clean the bathroom,hoover and dust the frontroom and clean the kitchen floor Friday evening and whizz the hoover round the bedrooms and dust them if they'll be seeing them.

Do you have children? Is your husband home every evening too?

Write a list, room by room, of everything that needs doing (be specific not vague eg: hallway: move bags/coats, clean fingerprints off wall, mop floor etc then, if poss, delegate tasks on list to hubby/whoever can help and tick off as you go.

I'd tackle a room at a time - don't move on until you've finished and don't put things to one side to deal with/sort/decide whether to keep - make the decision there and then (have bags ready before you start: charity/chuck/for recycling and a 'keep' bag/basket which will end up with things in it that live all over the house. Try to put away into the right place/room as soon as you can if there's a home for them already.

Maybe do a 20 min blast then 10min cup of tea/quick put away sesh, that helps me keep going!

Main thing is to get shut of the clutter. Run around with a binbag chucking any rubbish out first.
I'd perhaps focus on entrance/hallway (1st impressions!) lounge and bathroom.

You can do it! You've got today and 3 more days. Break your list into days & maybe do the bulk of it today and tomorrow in full on attack mode (evening if at work) so it's manageable and you're not running around daft on Friday.

Thanks, some fab suggestions here.
I've got 2 dc and they'll be helping on Saturday morning with cat's bum faces.
Dh will help as much as he can, but he doesn't get home till 6.30 most nights, so after dinner we don't feel like tackling huge amounts.
So far today I've hoovered downstairs, cleaned the bathroom, mopped floors, cleaned the oven (not thoroughly but still!), tidied and hoovered the lounge.
That leaves upstairs which I can do on Friday afternoon, then a quick whizz round on Saturday morning.
Trouble is, once kids are home it'll look as if I haven't done much.
Hey ho!
