I've cleaned the house from top to bottom, all the washing and ironing is done, I've changed all the bedding and there are clean towels everywhere,
Well, we're off on a steam train holiday tomorrow, and I always worry that any burglars who broke in might think I'm a really bad housewife if I didn't leave the house looking good.
I do the same thing and my husband ask why...we won't be here. MEN!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny Sue! I do the same thing too. If I get hit by a truck while we are gone, I want all our kids to think I was a spotless housekeeper. Have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteI think the real reason we do this is that it's such a good feeling coming home after a holiday to a clean house. Have a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing. Makes it so much nicer to come home to a clean house.
ReplyDeleteDitto and it drives my husband nuts!!! I love coming home to a clean house plus imagine what the police photos would look like if you left it a mess ;-) Have a great trip.
ReplyDeleteCount me in too.. I want to come home to a clean house.
ReplyDeleteToo funny - I'm exactly the same. I think it's not so much about potential burglars as wanting to return to a nice, clean house. Have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteI do this too! I love coming home to a clean house and freshly laundered sheets.
ReplyDeleteI never go on holiday these days but when I used to I did the same thing, lovely to come back to a neat and tidy home.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, you always make me laugh...I have to say, I don't do that. I leave the house and hope the burglars will clean it while I'm gone! Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteI do it! I'm tired when I come home from vacation, and I want a nice clean house awaiting me. Nerver gave much thought to the burglar aspect of it! I hope they don't make a mess while ransacking the place.
ReplyDeleteI used to do that until we did have burglars while we were away and I had to wash every thing again .... I could see where they had sat on the bed! We are in the Dordogne for afew days - following the sun, have a good hols xxxx
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! This way the house will be clean when you come home. It makes doing all that travel laundry a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteHave a super great trip!
My husband insists the house be clean even down to the coffee cup. Lynn is correct, we want to come home to a nice clean house. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI would prefer to be able to tell if a burglar had been in my home or not!!! When I'm not home for a while and hubs is, it rather looks like a bit of a ransacking had taken place during my absence :) Coming home to a clean house is always a huge plus!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same. It must be clean and tidy.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Where is the journey taking you and will we have some lovely pics when you get back?
Oooo....sounds like a fun trip. And won't it be nice to come home to a clean house (unless of course the burglars mess it up).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your steam train trip and you've a nice clean house to come back to!
ReplyDeleteSo that's where you've been, I'd wondered. Did you take any pictures of your trip?
ReplyDeletePersonally I clean before a vacation because then I can savor the knowledge of a clean house all through my vacation and then when I get home I can wait a few days before I get back to the daily routine. Oh and I don't want my pet sitter to think we're slobs. LOL
