Your house rules

[Corax]

Thanks for spelling it out guys. Much appreciated.

 

[machine cat]

no smoking inside

shoes off (we have plenty of slippers)

no food upstairs (unless it's breakfast in bed for an adult)

 

[jakethesnake]

No dogs in the garden since we planted veg.
You are welcome to get drunk here but do not arrive drunk.
Any drugs need to be offered around.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

No smoking inside for us to....that's about it really. The cat isn't supposed to go onto the work surfaces but yeah right!

 

[lizzieloo]

No wearing my slippers

 

[DotCommunist]

I remember seeing those signs as a kid an not knowing what heavy petting was.

presumably light petting is allowed.

 

[Quartz]

No smoking; no unannounced visits; and, in the bathroom, everyone sits.

 

[cdg]

presumably light petting is allowed.

Depends how you define light or heavy petting I suppose?

 

[DotCommunist]

anything short of bumfinger is light

 

[DexterTCN]

The rules change, I will inform you when you have broken one. (semi joking)

I have different rules for different people. (not joking at all)

 

[cdg]

anything short of bumfinger is light

Depends when bumfinger occurs though doesn't it. I might try and go for bumfinger at a stage before you'd attempt it.

 

[quimcunx]

make your own tea.

 

[clicker]

Smoke outside and only plastic tumblers upstairs ( no glass ).

 

[lizzieloo]

.........in the bathroom, everyone sits.

How do you enforce that? I can't imagine telling blokes to sit when they wee.

 

[colacubes]

No dogs (only cos it freaks the cat out)
No smoking inside (only cos I am a smug ex smoker )
Don't be a dick.

Why don't people like food in the bedrooms? I often go to bed early with a book and take a pasta bowl (cos you can fit more in without it sliding off) of tit bits in, cheese, ham, biscuits, olives, and bits and pieces. I'll even eat crisps in bed - total disegard for my own comfort.

Bed picnics FTW

Bed picnics FTW

Totally, I had a punnet of strawberries in bed the other night

Some foods don't lend themselves well to bed picnics, oily or greasy foods that stay on your fingers and then transfer to the bed linen are bad. Crumbs can be avoided by stuffing an entire cheddar biscuit into your gob at once

I had my dinner in bed tonight. I was shattered when I got in from work and eating in bed was so relaxing. Put a DVD on and I was perfectly happy

Talking about eating in bed has started to make me feel peckish (I am in bed)

 

[susie12]

don't poke with my private possessions - yes that's you person who I'd not seen for 25 years who poked in my draw box within 5 minutes of arriving and then draped my computer with a chiffon scarf 'the lights, i'm sensitive to light' - and I don't like dogs in the furniture but that's a minor one. Don't make assumptions I think is my main one, but to be fair my close people don't. it was just her. Sorry. As you were.

 

[equationgirl]

I prefer shoes off, because I don't want dogshit tracked throughout my house.
Be respectful of it being my house (yes mum, I mean you, although thanks for doing the washing up last time you came over )
Put things back where you got them from.

I just had a sandwich

 

[Firky]

Don't tease me

 

[spanglechick]

No dogs. Get more butter out of the fridge if the butter dish is running out. Don't upset our neighbours. Help yourself to drinks.

 

[Firky]

I have some chicken seekh kebabs marinading in the fridge for tomorrow... got the pita bread to go with them, I could knock up a quick kebab and eat it in bed with minty yoghurt sauce

Because they have children. I think the rules are for them.

If I'd known I'd have made you one as well, obviously.

Too late for a kebab

 

[Firky]

But not too late for a bacon butty

 

[kittyP]

make your own tea.

This is a tricky one.
I generally offer to make tea in my own and others homes. But I have been started at blankly when in someone else s house I have offered to get a brew on. I think some people think it's like you are making yourself too at home.
People are welcome to make tea at mine as well though.

 

[equationgirl]

Not at all

Go on, you know you want to...
