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.

OohI live with family friends in their nice house.
Half my room is filled with bits of old computer and random technical things that must be ancient.
The dining room is inaccessible; it's mainly filled with stacks of paper. (Old bank statements, newspapers, letters, magazines.) and throughout the house there are more stacks of paper and really odd bits and bobs.
Their bedroom is basically a big pile of clothes.
The hoarder's wife tries to clear up now and again and the threat 'I'm going to get a skip, and get rid of it all.' doesn't seem to work. If she wasn't there I think it would be a lot worse...eek.

My mother was a hoarder...Not as bad as the people mentioned above but nonetheless. Her thing tended to be broken clocks and CB equipment. She blamed me and my brother for the constant mess. Until we moved out and then she had no excuse. After my father passed away, it got even worse. Often when we would visit, there would be nowhere to sit or sleep.
The thing is, it was always her who would be saying about getting the skip but she was the cause.
I'm fighting the same tendencies in myself. I'm pretty good about throwing away genuine rubbish. The thing is though, when you're a computer nerd, you're never quite sure you're not going to need that graphics card or centronics interface lead somewhere down the line, y'know...
