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.

Ooh! Ooh! My husband grew up in squalor...One day, when he was a kid, he found what he thought was a forgotten chocolate cookie behind the couch. Only after eating it did he realise it was an undiscovered kitten turd.
I admire his honesty, but even though it's twenty years later, I am constantly asking him to brush his teeth.
(For those interested: it wasn't that bad, apparently, but not something you'd want a second helping of, either).
In a slightly similar vein, I once lived next to some poor buggers who had a twenty-year-old son with cerebral palsy. He wore adult nappies.
The neighbour's fence, like their house, (and like our house), was in a state of major disrepair and one day the fence between our houses collapsed.
After being enthusiastically greeted (leaping, face-licking, etc) by our exceedingly dim dog one day, I saw that he had just finished snacking on an entire, poo-filled, adult nappy from next door, which he'd found lying in the new wilderness.
The dog was unable to understand why I didn't seem to love him as much after that.
