Parents coming to stay.

Oh my god !!. Hide the porn, Do the washing up.
My Parents are coming to stay.

Well actually they are coming to stay at the weekend.(gulp). I don't know how it happened, it was even my suggestion. They are going to a wedding on Saturday nearby to me and were planning on finding a hotel to stay the night.
It's not as if they live the other side of the country, but it will save driving back late at night. Besides it will be a long day. This way they can go to the wedding in the afternoon, come back to my place for a break, and then return for the evening session.

It all sounds very logical really. So why do i feel uneasy about it ?.
Living alone means i've stopped being secretive. I've noticed i don't bother putting porn back in it's box any more. It gets left in the player or on the top of the telly.
My computer favourites have websites i wouldn't want my mum to click on. (not that she would ever get the chance). I don't close the toilet door when i go to the loo. I walk around half dressed more than i used to. I'm in charge of the telly in my house not my dad. If i wanna wash up half an hour after a meal i will do, instead of doing it the second i put the last mouthful into my gob.
I use one teabag per cup not one to share between two. And sometimes i'll for get to turn the kitchen light off when i leave the room.

I think it's just because it's my mum and dad. But i'm not keen on the idea of them staying.

Anyway it's too late now, I've agreed.

Well, exactly - and don't let them forget it!

One cup per teabag?!! How extravagant! No wonder you're perpetually skint. LOL

Yeah, there is something uncomfortable and mildly irritating about having to change things for visitors. But it's just for the weekend.

I'll bet they will be perfect house guests. They do want to be invited back!! Enjoy their visit! I am not trying to be a downer but I lost my Dad one year ago today. I miss him.

its funny how i do the same stuff you do w/o even thinking about it... i havent closed that bathroom door in forever... its my tv, my stuff, my cat... my mess... well, not so much mess but you get the idea.. i think my parents are afraid of what they might find if they were to come to visit... cause they never do.... enjoy having them around, even though itll prolly be weird...

~ cheers....
