This is a question How clean is your house?

"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

My problem is clutter. Particularly hoarding stuff I no longer need or use.
As I sit here gazing at my keyboard, markedly saturnine as I probe my inner muse, my eyes flit towards the paragon of disorder that is my desk. Strewn across its dishevelled faux-veneer is a treasure trove of trinkets and knick-knacks; each as worthless as the next and yet just as useful as the last.

There, amongst the elderly mobile phones, blank optical media, USB leads, stationery, bootlaces and the charger for an iPod Shuffle is the pretender. An extraneous plastic card entitling me to membership to the RAC. A trivial orange plastic rectangle which is utterly useless as I had let the subscription lapse - a risky gamble when driving a charabanc such as mine. Scrutinising this piddling token of vehicle recovery entitlement is the most jarring of errors. It grates my eyes much like the number seven to someone who is learning 'pi' to only twelve decimal places.

The RAC have spelt my surname incorrectly. The bastards

If you ditch the RAC card...
You WILL break down (well, you or the car will anyway).

As for the rest of the treasures - my lounge was similar until I finally made my third bedroom into my office/workroom - now that contains all the computer parts, leads, discs etc...

The thing is, I'm not even a member of the RAC anymore and haven't been for almost a year
I wish I had the luxury of a spare room, though I suspect it would be piled high with tat.

When I get home
I'll take a picture of the room...
