Housework before going away

My family think I am beyond strange as I clean the house to within an inch of its life before we go away for a fortnight or more? I am not the best housewife, housework gets done when I have nothing better to do, but we are off for two weeks so the washing is up to date, beds changed, towels in the dryer, floors sparkling even the windows have been cleaned. I am that unusual?

Reading about all this house work is exhausting! I also clean before/after a holiday and when something in life goes bad. I wonder why? Are we naturally disposed to feather our nest (and in my case hotel rooms as well)?

Not only do I do the bed changing cleaning the house for the burglars thing but I get a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Going away tomorrow and should be thrilled but just feel sick.

Today I am going to pull out fridges, the washing macine etc just in case a burglar goes hunting for any treasures behind them! grin
