New Year's Eve - Cooking and (De)Kinking

I've invited eight friends round on New Year's Eve. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but the fact that I cater so rarely I can't remember the last time I cooked for guests, combined with a week's worth of illness resulting in the place being an even more disgusting mess than usual, mean that I'm seriously doubting the wisdom of this decision. Of course, it will be all be alright on the night, but needless to say, right now I should be cleaning, not blogging. I should also be checking fridges and larders for ingredients, writing a shopping list, and, most importantly, de-kinking. Two friends coming know about my, um, "other life", but the other six might not be quite so at ease with that knowledge. So I need to make sure I rescue all the "Spank Me" decorations from the Christmas tree, hide the implements, move the spanking porn, and make sure the bed is free of anything incriminating as that's where the coats are going.
This is actually the first time I've really had people round in a while (I'm not anti-social, just never in to receive visitors..!) so the first time I will have had to "properly" dekink. That, combined with the cooking for eight malarkey and the cleaning means that the de- I'm most in need of right now is a de-stressing spanking!
Ah well, it will be alright on the night.
I hope.

I hope that in all the preparation/clearing things away/ hiding things etc nothing gets overlooked! (and that none of your frineds are as nosey as some I know who would be prepared to open cupboards to see what is in them....) AND I hope that all the preparation proved worthwhile in he end and that you have a supern evening with your firends. I loved your last two posts by the way - I've only just read them.

A belated Happy Christmas to you - and a Great New Year.

Hi Eliane:
Hope that each day your energy returns stronger and stronger. Maybe one of your friends who knows about your "other life" can do a walk thru the day before your party? It's hard to be objective about your own things and see what the vanilla person sees. I hope all goes well with the cooking and entertaining. Have a great party.
Take Care,
Andrades Girl

Eliane, your post reminded me of the introduction Naomi Darvell wrote to a story in which she claimed to be writing to put off cleaning for company. Then she wrote, "Entertaining: the height of masochism."

The story's good, too, if you haven't seen it: http://www.hotbottomstories.com/naomi/ballet.html

Good luck with the dinner party, hope you're feeling better, and Happy New Year.

It's *always* alright on the night, darling. It's like, a rule. It'll be fine.

Good luck!

I hope that you * finally * got the cleaning done...can't say we didn't try and think of ways round it. :-)

And I'm sure you'll have a super time and be a goddess of a hostess, and a delightfully kinky one too :-)

Hope your energy returns from being sick and that you are able to get everything done. I am sure that no matter what you serve it will be appreciated. Now as for putting stuff away. That was a good suggestion, havinag someone do a walk through, lol.
Have a good time.
