We are going to the coast at the weekend, staying in a nice hotel. The sea air, dog walks on the beach, fish and chips, the whole shebang because I know how to holiday :)

We are only going for a couple of nights.

Thank God they emptied the brown bin this morning because I am going to fill it. The garden is getting scalped, the house will be cleaned - I swear it will. Windows washed, clothes laundered, ironing basket emptied, beds changed because you always have to change the bedding before you go away don't you?
Floors washed, kitchen blitzed, bins emptied, bathroom will be hotel clean.
As we drive away I will be emotional.
Every time I go away I am like this. I turn into a maniac.
What is wrong with me people?

Also I have a cat who we don't board as hse hates it. (well anyone who isn't us) so if I clean it's very catty after a week or so. So there's very little point! I don't mean wee and poo, she uses litter and outside, just fluff as she's long haired and fluff balls!

Everyone likes to come back to a clean house but I suspect you’re the only one who gets “emotional” about it.

So I am normal then?
And I thought it was only me :)

And... I have cleaned the patio doors inside and out Nigel.......

Currently waiting for a coat to finish in the washer, because it simply won't be a good holiday knowing it's not been done.

Not packed yet, need a shower and we are leaving at 12 noon ha ha

@TabithaTiger

I always used to clean the house before going away. Now the DC are older and stay at home when I go away, I purposely DON'T clean the house as I know it'll be messy when I get back!
This one has now moved out waiting on DS to go.

Well I am back now and I left the hotel room................

tidyish !

🤣🤣🤣.....you have got me wanting to do 2 things.....clean the house properly and eat fish n chips !
I'm only going to do 1 of those things. The other can wait!

I do this too! Love coming home to a tidy house.
Also holiday lets/hotels are always so de cluttered and clean. So, I like to match the standard when I get back!
