Say you're attending a party near Christmas, but not an actual Christmas party. Would you rather be offered
A) mulled wine
mulled cider and some normal wine
Mulled cider and some normal white /red wine. I find that mulled wine is great to have a Christmas parties or any party in the general Christmas season but it's not every bodies cup of tea. I think it's one of those things people like to know is there!0 -

Random question but does any else still do the big pre christmas clean anymore? Listening to a thing on the radio earlier and it was saying how there is a generation of young girls (don't shoot me just repeating what was said ! ) growing up lacking basic home makers skills. Think it was the end of a debate of survey I was listening to. Anyway, wondering I am the only one is still cracked enough to be doing this? Is it a generational thing ? I do it because I saw my mam doing it etc? Mr glitzgirl tends to avoid me when I start my big pre christmas clean.. He says I get a bit crazy

I like the idea of a big pre Christmas clean but in practice I never get around to it. I suppose it's because we only have one room with decorations in it and it's always pretty clean. We also rarely have visitors at Christmas so I couldn't be bothered doing a big clean just for us. My husband and I are on the same page when it comes to cleaning. As long as it looks okay from a distance it's fine. 0 -

Glitz what sort of things do you do for your big clean? I'll have to do one this year as we are hosting a party but I think I'm a bit blind to the things that other people will notice.
Oh god I dunno where to start. I genuinely think I have a touch of ocd lol a lot of stuff I do every week anyway like clean the fridge etc, but in November or if I'm really organised late sept /early October I will get
• any painting touched up (with dogs and kids this needs to be done )
• white wood work glossed, doors, windows etc,
• normally try clean the grout in bathroom , floor tlies etc
•windows have to be cleaned
• usual out door stuff like gutters cleaned, chimney etc
• completely organise and do a big De clutter. If it doesn't have a place or hasn't been used it's gone.
• chest freezer defrosted and reorganised too.
Sure I'm missing other stuff but it's mostly covered in my weekly clean. I'm sure I'll think of the other big clean jobs randomly tonight while I'm trying to sleep !
Oh forgot to add, and my own personal pet hate, cleaning the wooden blinds. Hate doing that job. Curtains are all washed too while blinds been cleaned but I don't mind that, the washing machine does the work there !

Ooh good luck with the party! I want to have a small pre christmas get together, but still trying to convince Mr glitzgirl that it's a good idea. We have completely different ideas about organisation and house cleaning in general so he's happy to not have any functions that require additional work 0 -
