My (extended) family often come with their friends and girlfriends to stay in my house. I love having them here, but what really, really, annoys me is when they leave the bed and bedroom any old how. Am thinking of leaving a box in the room that says 'Tips for staff''. Any tips out there for dealing with this diplomatically and without me seeming like an old grouch?

Hi anne, no easy way really. At the end of the day, whoever are responsible are being disrespectful in 'your' house! Take whoever it is to one side & say how much harder it is to keep on top of if it's left that way.
I am with you on this - we often have guests and I would really appreciate it if ANY steps were taken to help on 'check out' lol. I always strip the bed when we stay somewhere and fold it on the bottom as I would love it if someone did it here I AM going to be washing the stuff all bloody week ... If staying at a friends -I will pop it in the machine too! Also if a girlfriends I make the tea for the duration of the stay ... and change all the loo rolls for full ones - and put hotelesque bow or points on for a laugh at theirs.
annemollie - when staying with others, i always take a 'welcome' gift (usually a bottle or food if dinner is involved), tidy up after myself and offer to pitch in while i am there. sadly, many people i have to stay at mine are not so thoughful and i console myself by thinking that at least i don't do that to others....you may just be an old grouch! i have to say, though, that i also think evil thoughts after my untisy and ingracious house guests - but accept that some people are less conscious and house trained than i!!! deep breath...glass of wine...leave it til the morning..!!!
