You can do hard things

Guests showing up tomorrow. 1 week, 3 spare rooms and a laundry now ready for guests. 2 rooms painted. All the carpets had to be cleaned because of puppy accidents. 2 dump runs. Garage reorganised to fit all the tools that had overflowed to the laundry. Rest of the house also cleaned. Capped off with a day in the garden. 1 blind 1 curtain, Pictures, shelves and the neon light sign that have been on the ground for years, finally hung up. I'm so exhausted and wanted to quit on day one but the support and motivation on here helped me. I just decided I was locking in and put in 12 hours the first day.

I know the before are not that bad but I've been on the ufyh journey for about 2 years. I was too ashamed to take photos at it's worst (I struggle to let go of stuff). It's been years of hard work to dig out. I kept putting off this next push for about 6 months but the time crunch came up fast.

This forum has helped so much over the years and I'm grateful to the positivity of the community and tips. In a couple months I'll start rennos on the laundry and have to address the doom cupboards, but at least its some cupboards now instead of the whole house. Really hoping we can maintain it and keep doing improvements.

I bought a robovac last black Friday and now Sir Sweepington can finally get around the whole house so I'm thrilled to hit a goal of 6 months in the making.

Someone help me get started

Extended family's coming to stay in a week. House is not that bad in general but the two spare rooms and laundry aren't great. Halfway through painting one of the rooms and need to hang blinds etc. Plus have a toddler at home who's in a needy phase and a fair whack of gardening. Just feeling overwhelmed. Have 3 days off to get it cracked. Any tips?

Came with the house, don't know what its for. Sits above the TV. Can a sparky get rid of it or is it fine to push back into the wall cavity and plaster over. I may be an idiot, please feel free to tell me.
