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.

This is a second hand story.
A friend of mine used to live with a man who was for want of a better word, filthy.
His bedroom was an utter utter state, and in the three years that they lived together my friend never saw him clean anything, let alone push a hoover around.
In a bid to try and get him to tidy his room and maybe get rid of some of the stench that overflowed on to the landing, him and his other flatmate stopped by a pet shop one day and bought a frozen mouse, the type that you'd feed to a snake.
They figured that the smell of a mouse decomposing in his room would be enough to spur him on.
Another year went by and they forgot all about the mouse, and then came moving day. They were all moving out at the same time, packing boxes up and the like. When my friend was startled by a cry from the other room.
"Look, the skeleton of a mouse!"
A whole year and he hadn't noticed it was about a foot away from his bed.
