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.

most of my family suffer from OCDso i grew up in an insanely clean house. as a result, i take cleaning a bit(lot) less seriously than my mother does. i'm much cleaner nowadays than i was as a teenager, though. my first place was an absolute shit-heap. seriously, i don't think i cleaned once for the last 3 months i was there. apathy and depression meant that i just couldn't be arsed. i spilled a tub of ice cream once, i put an envelope over it to "soak it up".
that was nothing compared to my "let's get evicted" party. instead of washing the dishes, i hid them in a cupboard. clothes, both dirty and clean, were shoved under the bed. things got worse after my guests arrived. my mate's boyfriend, who i hated, smashed a bottle over another lad's head, before dragging his girlfriend into my bathroom for sex. they managed to knock over a large tin of white emulsion, which covered both them and my bathroom carpet. another friend discovered the catering-sized jar of cocktail gherkins i'd bought(i really like gherkins) and had instigated a full-scale gherkin war. people were hiding behind the furniture, throwing smelly green missiles at each other. you could hardly take a step without hearing either the crunch of broken glass or the squelch of a gherkin. the place was utterly trashed, but fuck, it was a great party!

Bathroom vs. carpetThe emulsion thing is awful... but the paint might have at least hermetically sealed the years of dried urine/manky shower-water/pubes trapped in that carpet.
Bathroom carpets are wrong. So very wrong.
And I really worry about those furry toilet mats and seat covers, too.

oh god, they're horrible!the place was basically a doss-house, my neighbours were a man who'd been living rough in the local park, an alcoholic who liked to shout at himself and a man who ate nothing but weird meat. the smell from his room was unholy
