Sweeping it under the rug.

I have shoved a whole bunch of stuff into my bedroom closet before. I usually manage to get the kitchen clean, but the living room is often cluttered.

Ummmmmmmm in a word YEAH! I've often shoved unfolded clothes into the wardrobe and prayed that I didn't need to open the wardrobe for anything whilst guests were around or they'd get a shock when all the clothes came tumbling out hahaha! Never have I put dirty pans in the oven though - THANKS FOR THAT IDEA LOL! I do make somewhat of an effort if people are popping around without too much notice but really it's a good way of keeping me on my toes and trying not to keep the house in too much of a mess! If my husband had his way our home would be immaculate 365 days a year and look like no one lived there - he's just soooooooooooooo tidy!

I never have done that, but I find nothing wrong with it. My problem is that the entire time company was at my house, I'd be thinking about what I swept under the rug, or put in the oven. I probably wouldn't make much sense because I'd be thinking of that.

Never under the rug, but a quick sweep around the rug and yes, I have tucked the pans into the oven or set a basket of unfolded laundry into my bedroom until they left. I hate when people drop in unexpectedly because I like to have my house ready for company, but sometimes it just isn't possible.

Hi there. OMG under the rug... I cant get into that lazy habit, I would'nt care who comes around if Im in the middle of cleaning and people come around, I will get rid of them so I can carry on with it and get it done... This doesnt happen with me anyway, because our home is always clean, tidy and presentable, for any univited or invited guests, Im a very house proud person, often called fussy...

I have gotten into the habit of putting everything away when I am done with it...but my office desk is usually cluttered with junk mail, things to read later and my newspapers that I want to clip some things out of....I just put all of the papers in a pile in the corner if I am going to have company. Lately, I spot sweep in my backhall and kitchen...because I live in an oak woods and bring little pieces of acorns in on my feet...they are so messy. Now that I have a 19 year old grandson living with my...I expect that my home won't always be ready for company. He is really doing good...I asked him if he skipped breakfast the first day of school...I didn't find any dirty dishes in the sink or on the talbe...he had rinsed them and put them into the dishwasher...I guess my daughter has really "trained" him to do as I taught her...yippeeee.

Oh yes, I have hidden things in the closet, in the shower, under the bad. I have hidden things basically anywhere I could hide them.

OMG YES!!! LOL, sweep under the rug, shove things behind the couch into drawers. Heck I even ran thing into my bedroom and shut the door. I hate when company shows up with no phone call or anything. :o(
