OMG ... guess what my MIL did to our house whilst we were away?! .....

[Disenchanted]

Tidied it from top to bottom, did all the washing, bought us a bread bin and chrome plate stackers as we have no cupboard space, hoovered every room ....did everything!

And she came before and after work everyday to get it done before we came back!!

Bet you thought I was going to say something bad didn't you?

she probably polished them for you!!!

well Disenchanted its brill you have such a positive attitude. If it was me at the moment, i would take it as total criticism of my housekeeping and saying i wasn't doing a good enough job of homemaker for her precious firstborn son. But i am a bit down on myself just now. She is probably delighted to have found your drawer, gone away thinking that her son must be enjoying the TTC bit!!
