Sugar soap and zoflora.
I salute you. You are amazing.
Finished work. Kitchen a greasy mess, sudden notification of "those" guests - you know, the really lovely guests but who have IMPECCABLY high standards and who you normally arrange to meet away from your shithole home.
Panic ensued, but sugar soap cut through the crap, and zoflora made it smell divine. I left a few "artful" touches (glass drying in the rack) and apologised for the "mess" as I'd been working so hard this week.
My illusion of being a capable human being remains intact!
