2. Play tetris with the dishes.
Don’t wash them there’s no time for that! But, stack them as efficiently as possible, so they aren’t in the same place they’ve been in since last night, and so that the surface area is minimised.
3. Get out of your PJ’s, dispose of the chocolate wrappers and brush your hair.
A sure-fire giveaway that you’ve been a bit slack is being busted in your shagbusters (you know, the ‘at home’ clothes that would kill the moment with anyone, including your partner of many years!). The empty foil wrappers that outline the shape of your seated backside are pretty damning evidence, too ditch those. If you have time, the hair brushing is for bonus points.
