The quick clean-up you do so your house looks at least presentable when you get short notice of an imminent visit.
Lauren rang to say she was down the road and would call in for coffee. The house looked like a bomb had gone off, so I did a 5-minute housework triage on the place to patch it up to a presentable level before she arrived (clothes kicked under beds, unwashed dishes dumped in laundry, rubbish kicked behind couch).
