Does anyone remember Peggy & Pam Jones..."The Slob Sisters"...being on QVC? They promoted their organizational kit....everything on 3x5 cards allocating a chore every day. No matter how big the house or how small the apt, things have to be done. Those crazy little cards have organized me for many yrs. I like to think anyone could drop over @ any given time.

My house is usually neat enough for guests. However, I don't understand why anyone would visit unannounced which is quite rude. If I don't know they are coming, the front door stays unanswered. That may sound mean but, since I retired, my schedule is my own and it doesn't include impromptu visits from friends or family.

Same here. I not only dislike "drop-ins", but it is unsafe especially if you live alone.

Definitely not!

I'm in a rental and I'm practically camping. Almost everything I own is still boxed and disassembled from the move this summer.

If anyone comes to stay, I would have to put beds together, unbox lamps, search for the linen boxes....

those cards (and their system) really do what they claim.

No, my home is almost always FAR from guest ready... Not that I plan to start having lots of guests, but this is one of those things I plan to work on after Christmas...

yes, I am pretty much guest-ready all of the time. I like a clean house and I don't do clutter.

I have wine and some sort of snack food in the fridge all of the time.

I have friends who will call and say can I come over with little notice and I love it. Life is too short to resent spending time with friends spur of the moment.
