I love that last minute rush to get ready when an unexpected visitor announces their impending arrival on a lazy Friday evening.
The run up the stairs, plucking a towel from the bannister as you go.
Trying to prioritise tasks so you know which order to do things in - leaving the menial ones until last incase he turns up before you've finished getting ready...change the sheets, or pluck my eyebrows first?
Which is worse - him seeing me in a towel with wet hair, or him seeing those dirty dinner dishes from last night that I left cause I felt too ill?
Sneaking in a quick cigarette knowing you could be using that 5 minutes carefully selecting the right clothes - nothing too scruffy, nothing too glam - that deliciously nice top that you could just have plausibly been wearing that day anyway.
Carrying your phone around the house incase he calls whilst you're drying your hair.
Hiding all traces of the fact that an hour ago, you were sat watching Ricki Lake in trackie bottoms and a minging old hoodie, surrounded by a mountain of chocolate wrappers, lemsips and snot rags.
Sitting down, perfectly coiffured, perfectly preened, nostrils full of Vicks, TV on Discovery Channel, and having the doorbell ring at that exact moment.
Me? Make an effort? Nah, I've been sat here all night.

It has been known for me to do this too, Do you ever feel deflated when the visitor doesn't notice how tidy the house is looking for a change  Blu x Always smile, give everyone something to wonder about | |

I was running around like an idiot on Friday because of this. Legs, arms and pubes to rip out with an epilator I hadn't replaced. Ran to Boots at lunchtime and bought a new one, unfortunately he never arrived  D xx | |

That's the worst :| If that ever happens, I announce my unexpected visit to someone else entirely (knowing full well that they actually won't be moving from their seat in the living room until I arrive) If you hate a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then you'll be a mile away and have his shoes. http://obliterarti.wordpress.com/ | |
