how much of a slut are you?
 
How tidy/clean/organised is you house? If it's untidy does it really matter??

My house is always a mess, heaps of papers on tables, nothing filed away, clothes on the bedroom floor. I used to have one room that was presentable but with this open plan living there's nowhere to hide. I waste hours trying to sort it the mess when I could be doing something fun.

Apart from basic hygiene, clean loos and kitchen, is it important? How badly does one judge others for having a messy home??

NB this applies to both sexes.

My 'house' is pretty good, my cave (as the OH likes to call my office) is a complete bombsite BUT I know where everything is.

As long as the place is largely dust free and MOST of the doghair is 'removed' I couldnt give a Rats Ass. ;)

Um...do you mean slob? Slut and house cleanliness don't really go together in my mind!

Really?

I would have thought most Sluts didnt have the time (or inclination) to worry about the house being clean :confused:

I'm pretty much a tidy person and I tend not to acquire things. Living with a two dogs, one of them a puppy, a frequent autistic visitor and a hoarder who never picked up an item of clothing in her life was not ideal for me.

Our house is generally neat and tidy but my office usually looks like a bomb went off in there. I do however know where just about everything is. :blink:

However when we have our grand daughters staying with us the house looks like a war zone. There are toys all over the place. We tidy up a little when they go to bed but it's all over the place again as soon as they get up the next morning. :ohmy::)

Am a bit anal and OCD - like it all tidy, put away and bleached to buggery!

Ditto here! I like things clean, but seem to struggle with the concept of tidy. Also, we have guest accommodation and I make sure I keep that immaculately clean and tidy (it's a totally separate building, thankfully :rofl: ) so during the Summer season, with the kids home all day spreading lego and various "crafts" everywhere, our house rapidly becomes even more of a bomb-site :eek:

We are talking about your house, right?

;)I read somewhere that it's down to brain makeup. ie if neither right nor left side dominates then you don't stand a chance of being tidy.

I like to think of my house as lived in and welcoming, but I wonder what visitors would think. This must be down to my working class northern upbrining where we had to be tidy and clean. Doorsteps, windows.

Not that I actually get any visitors you understand but one day I might.

I did go to the neighbours house the other evening for one of those product parties, this one was selling environmentally friendly cleaning stuff. According to the woman we should be cleaning the windows weekly, the window screens, using a towel, facecloth, dishcloth once and then its into the laundry...

you need a bit of muck for some immunity

Yep, I'm a slut. Not a slob. Slobs aren't nice, sluts can be

I too think the word should be 'slob' not 'slut' as they have very different conotations in my mind! We're (more specifically me) not the tidiest of people although the house is generally clean and the untidiness generally only requires an hour or two of concentrated effort to put right. We have a cleaner who comes in once a week which means we do a frantic tidy on a Monday night so she spends the 2 hrs on Tuesday cleaning as opposed to tidying.

When we have visitors the apartment is spotless.
