Getting ready for holiday and the house is a tip!

[Notthinkingclearly]

Going on holiday in 2 days and the house is like a tip. I am getting over a chest infection and energy levels are still low. Have 2 young children to entertain. Usually I like to leave the house looking pretty presentable but what should I prioritise before I go? Really don't want to come back to chaos. I have loads of ironing to do, bathroom to clean and every room is untidy and dusty. Just stripped all the beds and hung washing out. Help I'm drowning

If I were you I'd make sure the bathroom and kitchen (including fridge) were hygienically clean first and foremost. I thought I'd sorted my fridge before we went away; I hadn't. It was grim.

Thanks Zippi. Will do fridge this morning and hopefully bathrooms later. Did massive pile ironing last night so feel a bit more in control!

Too late but I was going to say forget the ironing. I never do any. Think of all the time that saves! Can you get someone to have your children for a couple of hours?
