6. Jog on the spot.
If you can get yourself to that ‘slightly breathless, slightly flushed and sweaty’ stage, it helps you to argue that you’ve been run off your feet. This may also have the additional bonus of inviting sympathy and/or an offer of a foot massage.
7. Divert and distract.
Put the kettle on and present your SO with a hot cuppa upon arrival, or crack out a stubby holder and cold one. This sounds like a thinly veiled ‘put out some slippers and a pipe’ suggestion, but a small offering might get off on a good behaviour bond. Alternatively, consider making an important phone call while you complete #1-#6, so that when your SO walks in, they can see you are at a critical point with a serious transaction, and they’ll probably back off and leave you to it.

I’m going to do all that right now 😉 lol another good one is to run around the house spraying air freshener….
Ohhhh I like that idea Aussie K!
Thais is pure awesomeness!
I love it too 🙂
If surfaces look clean it feels clean 😉
Definitely 🙂
pull the dona/quilt over all the beds, makes them look properly made and makes the whole bedroom look much tidier,
I agree with that tip bb3!
For those who use a dish rack, take some clean dishes out of the cupboard and put them out (with a splash of water on them) pretending that you washed them today. Can do the same with clothes. Put some previously clean clothes folded into piles on the couch- ready to be put away (again!). And for bonus points, leave the vacuum cleaner in the hall wall/lounge, somewhere obvious, so it looks like it ‘actually’ got used. “Honey, What have I done today?? I’ve washed and folded 3 loads of washing today, done the dishes, cleaned the toilet AND the bathroom (I like the bleach smell idea hehe), and vacuumed the WHOLE house!! What haven’t I done today?!” I like it 😉
Good one td!!! 🙂
Another good one is to spray Mr Sheen or another similar cleaning product near the front door so as soon as your OH walks in the smells hits them and they assume you’ve been cleaning around there 😀
Love it Anne-Marie!
I have a mixture of fabric softener and water in a spray bottle
You can use it on everything makes dirty clothes towels carpets curtains smell clean and if uve left you washing in the washing machine for a bit longer and it’s starting to smell hang them out then spray that into it it’s like freshly washed
That’s great Chrissy1!
