Family Visiting from Out of Town

Family is visiting from out of town and whenever family or friends visit or we go on vacation, it is usually not time for frugal living. In fact, it seems to be the polar opposite. We eat out or go shopping or even when entertaining, expenses increase. So, this weekend promises to be a weekend of spending. However, since our carpet is looking a little worse for wear, we're borrowing my MILs Hoover All Terrain Steam Vac rather than renting a carpet cleaning machine from the market or having it done professionally. This is the first-time using it so I'm interested to see how well it works.
