My hubby would LOVE LOVE LOVE for me to be more like you :rolleyes:
I hate doing the oven one of my worst jobs and the only one i leave to mr divadee. i cant stand it when he does the cleaning i have to do it again, he hoovers and then polishes how strange is that ? All the dust off things will just fall on the carpet but he still doesnt get it, and doesnt mind leaving it all to me!!0 -
Hi
I am better than I was 2 yrs ago though...promise! Probably more because I cant do it now :mad: my OH is great and knows how i like things done...it all seems quite petty talking about it but does take over your life and is horrible.
On a healthier note....I am now addicted to MSE so have switched from one compulsion to another
nevermind...i will get there in the end. I would rather have a clean sparkly home and money in my bank account though :rolleyes:

I have always been like it apparantly even as a child. My mum said she got embarrased on many occasion when i had been at a friends house and i would clean and tidy there room for them!!! And i was about 9 at the time.
My mum was always clean and tidy so i get it from her. Also I am very paranoid that someone will come round my house and think 'errrrrr shes not that clean is she?' I would be so embarrased if someone thought that about me. I use a lot of smelly candles etc... so it always smells nice as well.0 -
