    My sister works at St Thomas' hospital

    So basically, right at the other side of the bridge from Westminster. Shouting distance from where the attack took place.

    Fortunately she was obviously at work, because she crosses that bridge pretty regularly to, like, go for lunch or whatever

    Yeah they didn't get to go home early, they were literally told "stay in your offices until the all clear is given" and then escorted out

    She only got online this evening so I was a little antsy but all is well with her

    I'm wearing my dressing gown, and eating a white Magnum. All fine thankfully.

    If someone is coming over to your apartment then it's better if it's a little messy. Lived in.
    If it's completely pristine then it looks weirdly try-hard, IMO.

    So as long as your dishes are in the sink and garbage isn't on the floor, you're fine.

    Honestly as long as it's not gross, I think you're fine. A bit of clutter is actually preferable to a fully cleaned apartment, imo. Makes the place feel more lived-in and real.

    I actually have a second apartment I use exclusively for social gatherings. Just come around a bit early and dust everything beforehand.

    Cover everything with plastic wrap, buy a bunch of sawdust too. You want your kill room cleanup to be quick and easy.

    Sometimes I wonder if my landlord would give me a deal on renting the apartment across the hall from mine exclusively for parties

    the toilet and the tub most importantly

    use some air fresheners

    if things are going to get frisky, give the sheets a wash and make the bed

    When I go to someone's place I like:
    Clean bathroom.
    No dishes lying around.
    Sheets can be rumpled, those ain't staying clean anyway.
    Pick up your goddamn garbage.

    When someone comes over to my place I always:
    Clean the litter box
    Clean the bathroom.
    Sweep for dust/cat hair.
    Tidy dishes to the sink, wash 'em if there's too many.
    Make sure not to tidy away conversation pieces like my books and stuffed animals.

    I've currently got the Lego Star Wars Carbonite-dipping-Han-Solo set on my coffee table, which is the only table available to eat on.

    This is why I'm single, isn't it?

    If the dishes are clean I can talk ceramics/glass/whatever all day long.

    Garbage outside of a can makes you undateable to me, sorry.

    This one is so specific I don't want to know the backstory because it'd be too depressing.

    In actual useful advice, make sure you can offer a version of a preferred drink. There's no point finding out she really likes tea if you only have coffee or orange squash in the house for example.

    There's not much backstory, just last dude I dated had a fucking weird kitchen and I had to scrape the barrel to make myself breakfast.

    Man, my kitchen gets dire sometimes because I live alone and don't like grocery shopping, but I'd make a point of stocking up on bare essentials if there was a chance of having someone else over.

    According to that dude it was difficult.

    And so was texting back.

    And saying anything nice.

    And wanting to hang out when it didn't involve a booty call.

    Honestly, it's not that specific. I've known more than a few kitchens that fit that description.

    I mean to be fair eggs are a fairly fundamental breakfast item. I quite often just scramble up myself a bowl of eggs for breakfast.

    I hate breakfast so I don't stock breakfast food. I've got several nice brunch places within a 3-block radius that I'll go to if I want an egg, but don't ask me to put food in my body before 11 AM.

    I really don't much care for eggs. The texture is terrible.
