@Em4 Thanks Christine for trying to re-invigorate the thread, it was a pity it got highjacked last time around and it has probably run its natural course now but, I still stand by it as a useful hosting aid.
Since I have been using this check sheet I have never forgotten to do things I was frequently overlooking before. Maybe it's age, and I do feel that a memory related illness is waiting in the wings for me.....I do need help to keep myself focused these days.
And because it does put a sense of 'order' into what I am doing I am automatically performing other duties which I had not included on the list, such as, I always provide a detailed print-out of the weeks weather forecast from the Bureau of Meteorology inside the front cover of the house rules for each guest. I would love to be able to send it in my welcome message, but at this stage that is not possible.
It's just another minor detail but, no detail in hosting is too minor....it's not just a matter of making a bed and putting out a roll of toilet paper. And the more detail you go to, the more you will be rewarded in reviews.
Thanks again Christine for your support on that that thread, it was great and I do hope that it helped others.
Cheers.....Rob
