Julie the "Neatness freak"

Once again the end of a year, and once again the battle with myself to get my house as neat and organized as possible before we leave for Mauritius!
O, how I wish I could just change this once aspect about myself. It would be so much easier if I could just be a slob. Imagine for one year (just one cause that's all I would be able to bare) I could just grasp a couple of outfits from my very chaotic wardrobe and plonk it into a suitcase, get on the plain and go on leave, forgetting about........

• curtains that needs to be washed
• carpets that needs to be cleaned
• cobwebs that might be in the corners of my lounge
• cupboards that needs to be washed out
• my daughters disaster zone called her room
• a washing machine that needed to be taken apart just to make sure nothing blocked
• a grocery cupboard not perfectly packed in neat rows
• and a list of things I cannot even think of now

I doubt that in my life time this will ever happen, that now the part were I go on leave without working myself into a state to just proof to myself that I am a Neatness Freak. I mean that's what my mother tried to achieve with me, wasn't it ?? I had so many hidings and shouts regarding my bedroom when I was a teenager, it had to make an impression on my mind.

So I started on my dinning room last night ................................ wish me luck as I will need it, still some time to go before 19 December!#Q@$W
