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.

Mouldy mountaineer.In about 1995 my brother and I climbed Ben Nevis. When we returned home I emptied out the main part of my rucksack (the only part of the rucksack I'd put anything in) and chucked it into a cupboard in my bedroom.
My room took on a strange musty smell not long after this which eventually either dissipated, or I got used to (and visitors were to polite to mention).
In about 1998 I emptied the cupboard in my room, and out of a vague curriosity (or a sudden moment of treasure hunting greed) I decided to go through all of the external pockets of my rucksack, which had been left in the cupboard and forgotten about 3 years previously.
It was here that I discovered a plastic sandwich bag filled with a runny brown mixture of filth that made me retch. Turns out it was the vile remains of four sandwiches that my sister in law had made for me and put in my rucksack the night before my brother and I left for Ben Nevis. She'd done the same for him but he'd forgotten to tell me. Nice.
