"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.

I once went to a very elderly ladies house to repair her vacuum cleaner, I knocked on her door tp be greeted by her holding the letterbox open to find out what I wanted, I had to kneel down and push the Letterbox open, as I did so the stench of stale urine flooded out of the Letterbox making me retch my guts out.
She let me in to be greeted by the sight of used 'inco' pads lying all over the lounge floor !!!!
The stench was far worse than I had expected, it was stomach churning.
Trying to repair her cleaner was an interesting experience
She was supposed to be under the care of social services at this point in time but her neighbours had not seen any carers for weeks.
I phoned the local Social service office where my aunt worked and she put me through to someone who cared enough and the old dear ended up in a care home.
Job Done, I just hoped she lives/lived out her life in dignity !!!

That is indeed terrible - and good to hear you were able to get something done.
The funny thing about rat-wman however is that although getting on, she is entirely in control both mentally and physically. She just wants to live ina house full of rats.
