To wish DH would just sit down with a beer.

[ICanSeeTheSun]

I have a lovely glass of wine, but he is running around cleaning.

We are going away tomorrow, nobody will be here till Tuesday.

As long as there is no dirty dishes ( we have a dishwasher) the bins are empty and toilet flushed, who actually deep cleans before holidays.

So nice to come back to a clean house, but so rare I get around to it other than a cursory tidy up and straighten for the cat sitter I would revel with a glass of that it will be so nice on your return (and maybe do your turn when you're back if you're on holiday mode, DH is always grateful when I come home and cook and fuss when he wants to sit down after a long drive).

Enjoy your trip - cheers!

He is doing all the driving as well.

I always clean and tidy, I enjoy holiday more then :)

I'm yet another 'clean before you go' types... Not only because it's really nice to come back to, but also because neighbours always come in to feed the cat while I'm away, and I'd be ashamed for them to see how we usually live!!!!

Yes me too ..clean house before we go

Clean before we go here too - nothing worse than coming home to a messy house.

I clean before we go away. I also change the bedlinen the morning we leave if there's time, or the day before we go if we're setting off very early.

I hate coming home to a messy house (and that's usually want we come home too!). It's made worse by the fact the only 'holidays' we go on are weekends to FIL's, where their house is pristine and decorated to a high standard. It makes the contrast even worse. If he wants to clean just let him get on with it.

I do too. Sorry.

No point in a holiday if you have to come back and despair at the state of your house. I have enough trouble tackling the post holiday laundry basket.
