Just found out that my sister, whom I haven't seen for years, is coming to see us after Christmas, complete with husband and dog. I am in full-blown panic mode. Our house is small for all the people we have in it and all the stuff we have. It is an absolute tip. I have NO IDEA how I'm going to make it look tidy - and dog-proof - before then. My family are heading for the bomb shelters, as I go into meltdown... Essay panic has NOTHING on this!!!
