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 Mum is a nutterI think this aversion to cleaning is because my Mum is the sort of nutter who has to have an extra-super smart and clean room in case anyone visits. Don't touch. Don't leave any crumbs. Don't drip. On pain of death by screaming ab-dabs. I love my Mum but she drives me mental. She thinks she's being rebellious if she leaves the hoover in the hoover cupboard for just a day. She actually doesn't go out much because she'd rather be at home making sure home is clean and looking fantastic. When I met my mother in law, the difference could not have been more drastic. Dog hair, circles on coffee tables, and a general feeling that if it doesn't kill you, it's clean enough. This trait has been passed on to my wife. Having spent my formative years under the yoke of a cleanliness despot with the ability to throw slippers around corners, this was a breath of only slightly less than fresh air.

MyMums the same. When i first left home I used to get ill.... a lot! cold after cold. She had set my immune system up for a culture shock when I lived with 2 guys and a girl I was working with at HMV.
