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.

It's amazing ...... how being married and living with somebody changes one's outlook on these things. Left to my own devices I tend to have a 6-monthly climatic cycle, where my environment starts out spotless, gradually deteriorates to utter squalor, at which point a 3-day decontamination process ensues and it goes back to being spotless.
Now that I'm happily married and have somebody around every day who would see that I spend half of my life living in a fetid shit-hole, the sense of embarrassment and shame means I keep the place tidy most of the time.
I still miss the couple of days after a massive clear-up/decontamination. It was satisfying, somehow. Like a cold drink after you've run a marathon or a warm bath after you've been out in the cold all day. Now I just live in a constant state of mediocre mostly-tidiness.
Meh.

Im a bit like thatWe (wife and kids) live like that until we cant stand it, then spend a whole weekend tidying up and the following month trying to keep it tidy but eventually "fuck it" takes over. My garden is the same.. gets mowed a couple of times a year and tidied up followed by a BBQ.. always...
Im a lazy bastard!
