Oh My God!! Oh My God!! Oh My God!!!
Someone wants to come see our house!!! It's a flaming MESS!!! SHOOOT! I need HELP!!!

They wanted to come at 10 AM but I got them to bump it to 11...and then they called back asking for 12...Phew!! That buys me some time.

So... 1. I shouldn't really be here 2. What the hell am I going to do with all the laundry on the laundry room floor? 3. AAAACCCCK!

1. Put the laundry on the floor in the washer and dryer.
Edited on Sat Sep-02-06 08:52 AM by merh
just stuff them full and shut the lids.

I wish I could help you out, I just say a few prayers that you get it all straight and that these folks make you an offer :D

Take good care and good luck, sweetie :hug;

14. How about the trunk of your car?
I carry my laundry in the back of my car until I can get to the laundrymat.

Not much space for laundry in the land yacht. x(

you're welcome :pals:

6. Put the vacuum cleaner in the middle of the floor somewhere...
That usually fools people into thinking you were about to clean.

13. well, my suggestion
for the laundry, put it into garbage bags and throw it into the trunk of your car or some place similarly out of sight.

that's assuming you won't get it done in time and, it really does look as bad as you make it seem.

good luck Mrs.G ! (you can do this) :bounce:

24. Will do. They were very young. But we were very young when
we bought this house. :hi: Thanks!

I took the dog for a walk so they didn't feel like we were listening in.

26. That's okay
they got to get a glimpse of what it will look like "lived in." Honestly, I hate looking at houses that are "museum quality." They don't feel "homey" to me.

31. Going quite well, thanks
I have been good and cleaned up most of my flat - only the kitchen left, which I'll do after dinner (makes sense). Right now I'm starting to prepare dinner, and listening to Jessica's show. I also have a little lump in my throat after phoning her. I'm such a goof.

I hope your day is going well. Did you meet Nora? :hug:

35. I'll be over to help
in about 6-10 hours. Soon as I can schedule a flight, ground transport, and flight tume.

As for the laundry, there's always the stow it in the bathtub and pull the shower curtain partway trick, unless, of course, they peek...

You'll manage, I'm sure. :hi:
