My dad's house on the other hand looks like nobody lives there. There's not a magazine or book lying around and nothing is out of place.

He even tried to persuade his girlfriend to get rid of the phone so it wasn't on the table. There is a phonebox over the road she could use apparently. Oh right, in the middle of London it's safe to go out at night to use the phonebox. He's obsessed.

It's just not normal to be as tidy as that. I am only half a rebel against this upbringing, and I do some housework. My sister as far as I can tell rarely does anything in the house and I consider her to be the real rebel.

Ampersand - do you think Beth n Brian have urges to mark their territory when out walkies in their new sweaters?
I am now finishing my family size bag of maltesers and am watching the crumbs bounce of my keyboard as Im typing. Come on, how many more of you are looking into your keyboards now?:eek:

Cranky40 - I've always wanted my home to look like a show home, but however hard I try its never going to happen - can your Dad give me any tips?

Can I admit to never cleaning an oven or WM in my life? :rolleyes:

Brilliant thread - taken me ages to read and really made me smile! Have to confess to regularly moving the "junk" from the dining-area to my car boot if we entertain! Right now, my kitchen is a real mess, as is the livingroom. DGS's bricks have been picked up off the floor, but only so we can cross it without damaging our toes! Gingham-Ribbon - you are a star for starting this thread. Lots of illusions have been shattered, but hey, we really are all human!

Brilliant thread!

In the last few days I have de cluttered and done the spring cleaning in my conservetory, my bedroom and the bathroom and these rooms look lovely however the lounge, kitchen, spare bedroom and stairs have become a dumping ground for things I now need to find homes for! Ironing not been done in weeks just ironing what I need when I need it, kitchen floor is filthy and my stairs have not been hoovered since I don't know when.

...my lounge... looks like a garage... there is a broken headlamp, an indicator lens, a tool kit and a smashed tachyometer on the coffee table.
There is a pile of paper work and on the table, a laptop, more paper, a couple of box files, some books and three coffee cups on the floor. There is laundry drying over three doors as the drying rack is full.

The kitchen looks like a bomb site. The sink is full. The side next to the sink is full. The side next to the side next to the sink is full. The fridge contains celery, cheese, milk, a jar of olives and a plastic box that OH bought home from work last night - does anyone know what sort of internal pressure a lock-n-lock will take before you have to call the bomb squad to dispose of it? The floor is "night-club" sticky. :eek:

The bathroom? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trap_Door

And the cupboards _pale_ Just don't open the cupboards unless you know how to deal with an avalanche. OH nearly got killed by the iron this morning...

My fruitbowl contains a spoon, a roll of parcel tape, a nintendo DS game and carton of fishfood.

The hallway is tidy
