[QUOTE="donna723, post: 266899, member: 1883"] Nah, you're not the only one! I very seldom have much company and it's usually just me here, so I tend to get a little 'casual'. I tend to just 'hole up' here, especially in the winter. My house is just little and not enough room to store everything. I have old-fashioned open-flame gas heaters and they tend to turn everything orange (like the tops of the curtains) and leave a film on everything. I have shelves and shelves of antique glassware and it does me absolutely no good to try to clean anything until I can turn the heat off for good in the spring. But the worst part is my old, horrible sofa with the stuffings hanging out! It's awful, but I plan to replace it, maybe next fall. I was hanging on to it because it's a sleeper sofa, but it's been years since I opened it up! It's just ugly-ugly-ugly! But what really got me motivated to go on a 3-day cleaning binge was having a friend come over that I hadn't seen since high school! That did it! I even hand washed and dried every last piece of glassware on the shelves. I just threw something over the ugly sofa, and if it gave my friend nightmares, she was nice enough not to mention it!
