And more to the point not compleatly mad, even if i am slightly

Ex has just started to see DS again after leaving when i was pregnant 6 yrs ago, i thought it would be easyer for DS and i and much nicer for DS if he came to my house or a public place i.e park to see DS rater than the local contact center.

So far so good i sit in the back round they play DS likes it and alls good except.

Every time ex comes to my house i feel as if i have to spend the day before blitzing it, hiding cluter filing letters and making sure all rooms he might see even if he wont go in them and the bathroom and kitchen are spotless.

And the worse thing is that i no its compleatlly mad, my house may be untidy but its not scruffy and whats more we lived together for years so we both know what each others standards are and that mine have always been higher than his.

I just feel that if the house is a mess he can hold it agenst me in some way.

So is it just me or do other people have a mad tidy up before there EX's come round?

oh all right - youre not the only one.

and i must admit i did the same when my ex used to visit - tho that may have been me trying to show i wasnt so disorganised and untidy

tho you may well be mad - unless you lurk behind the door with an axe - in which case youre perfectly normal

I clean when ex isn't here and isn't coming (ever to my knowledge) just so that in case he breaks in in the middle of the night he can see that i am doing fine on my own Now THAT is crazy!!! haha

No your not the only one, my house is immaculate when ex turns up, I'm also done up to the nines so he knows what he's missing! He even text me the other night to tell me 'I looked hot' on Saturday .... twat!

Oh gosh - I didn't tell XP my address for ages (technically I didn't tell him at all, he got it another way - grr) and although it was mainly because I was worried he might come round drunk at 4 in the morning and be scary, it was also that I did not want him seeing the hallway/looking through the window when he collected DS and judging me
