BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ANDROID APP
ohdogoaway replied to your post: Make your bed!
have you started posting this earlier? I swear it used to come up at 1 or 2pm GMT, but it’s only 11:30am here this time (not that it matters, I was just wondering)
I usually schedule it for 7 a.m., EST, but Tumblr’s post scheduler hasn’t worked for the last few days so I did it manually this morning. It was about a half hour earlier than usual.

UK unfuckers? Do Magic Erasers exist there?

CURSE YOU, FLATMATE!
This is really difficult. Because, as we know, we can’t change anyone’s behavior but our own. Which REALLY REALLY sucks when someone else’s behavior is burying you in filth. If you’ve had the chat a million times, I don’t know how else you can get through to your flatmate.
To be honest, this is probably the point where I’d draw a chalk line down the middle of the apartment, but that only works in sitcoms and cartoons. I still think honesty is best, “I worked really hard to clean this place up before I left, and I got back and it was worse than before. I understand if you’re not into helping me clean, but can you please at least try not to make things worse?” And then put all the dirty dishes on her (his?) bed.

Excellent idea!

DO NOT PANIC. YOU CAN DO THIS.
Be organized. Go one room at a time, and remember that clear flat surfaces (tables, couters, etc.) make everything look cleaner. Don’t forget that your friend will not be inspecting every nook and cranny for dust, so just do the best you can and focus on being a good friend while your guest is there.
As far as dinner, make lists. What the food will be, what you need from the store, what dishes and utensils you need, and what order stuff needs to be made in. This is easy. You have five days until your friend arrives, and six days until dinner. YOU GOT THIS.
I’m wondering if maybe the exposed bits can be covered with something like peel and stick tiles that you don’t actually stick? Like, if most of it is covered with rugs, maybe something that is half-held-down by the rug and covers the exposed floor, but isn’t actually affixed in any way might help? Varnished plywood? Plastic tarps? Something?
Maybe a coat or two of clear polyurethane? That way it would be washable and have a slicker surface so the dirty bits could actually be swept/vacuumed up!
Sounds like the landlord is firmly against any kind of permanent change to the surface, for some reason. Which, if I were a landlord, and my tenant offered to refinish the shitty floors, I’d be all over that, but ohdogoaway’s landlord sounds like a tool.

Everything I read said DO NOT GET IT WET. So treat it as a gremlin, apparently. I would imagine sweeping with a stiff broom, perhaps LIGHTLY sanding any gross spots, and then vacuuming again? And then covering the whole thing with an area rug or stick-on linoleum tiles so at least you have something to clean in the future. Also, what a weird thing to make a floor out of.
