Are you a slob or clean freak?

missyob · 27th November 2003, 10:44

Deep down inside I like my house to be clean and orderly. However this is not a reality. My house is not dirty but there is work stuff everywhere. I cant even find my bedroom floor right now!

I guess I could use the excuse that I have only been home for 7 days in the past 4 months but it would only be that - an excuse.

Anyone that is an organized neat freak is more than welcome to come and help me clean my house

Slob, I clean when it starts demanding voting rights.

missyob · 27th November 2003, 10:55

Cool Vie.

At least I am not the only one!

zootm · 27th November 2003, 10:55

if there was a "template" for slob, it would be me.

missyob · 27th November 2003, 11:00

Mr. Jones,

Will you marry me

~ Missy

Mr Jones · 27th November 2003, 11:01

Best offer I've had today, sure, why not

Raas · 27th November 2003, 11:03

I love it clean and everything on the right spot but I'm too lazy too keep it like that all the time.
I'm like that with my comp too.

Raz · 27th November 2003, 11:07

I keep things more tidy than clean. Tidying takes 5 minutes. Cleaning takes hours. I clean about once every 2 weeks...

ShyShy · 27th November 2003, 15:55

While I'd like for my place to be neat, the rugrat prefers a mess. So, we compromise. I tidy up a little here and there and blame her for the major disaster areas

k_rock923 · 27th November 2003, 16:00

my room looks like some sort of explosive device went off in it. i literally can't see the carpet anywhere.

MidnightViper88 · 27th November 2003, 16:03

I'm semi-tidy...I (try) to keep all my magazines piled in one stack, and all my PS2 games and DVDs go in one section of my entertainment system in my room...Dirty clothes go in one pile until I collect them to be washed...When I'm settled in, my stuff's all over my room...Magazines, game cases, CD cases, guitar cord running across the room from my amp to the bass guitar on the stand, cans stacked like ancient shrines, bedsheets all in a ruff, and all that stuff...

So no, my room's hardly clean; it's always trashed...

psyfive · 27th November 2003, 16:14

I am a slob.

the mrs asked me when can we expect him over?

we moved from house to house for 4 times in the last 6 years so it's still a mess, some boxes with usefull things are still up the attick waiting unpacking.

most important places in the house are clean ( bathroom, living room/kitchen and the p- place - bedrooms and attick total mess)

missyob · 27th November 2003, 16:59

You guys rock!

I feel so much better now. I was going to post a pic of my bedroom but was way to scared to.

I am sort of cleaning it out right now. I will post before and after pictures later...........

~ Missy

psyfive · 27th November 2003, 17:17

i have more pictures from different corners in my room. the picture i posted doesn't do the filth in my room any justice. heh.

/me happily awaits before and after pics from missy.

MidnightViper88 · 27th November 2003, 17:25

I'd post pictures of my mess, but my room is messier at my dad's house than my area at my mom's house, and this weekend isn't when I go to my dad's house (Next weekend)...

Let's just say this: my room's sorta like psyfive's, only with more junk covering the un-seen bottoms of the floor...

27th November 2003, 17:26

I love when it's nice and tidy in my room ... however, i don't like to clean it up myself. I prefer my mum do it for me..:-)

psyfive · 27th November 2003, 17:29

I hate having a clean room, I can never seem to find anything. right now tho, I know where everything is. (Big RC car under clothes on the head of my bed wall side, blank cdrs under the foot of my bed behind the empty IBC bottles. clean clothes on the bed, dirty clothes on the floor, paperwork/warrantees/manuals for almost everything i own under the foot of my bed two feet from the wall) if I were to clean I would end up making a mess looking for everything.

godoncrack · 27th November 2003, 18:09

i use my room as a research facility in the search for undiscovered lifeforms.

xzxzzx · 27th November 2003, 18:21

While I prefer a clean room, I hate - I mean *HATE* it if someone else cleans it. Oh my god, I can't find anything. Perhaps everything was laid out on the floor before, but I least I could find everything. Then someone else cleans, and I can't find shit.

Aye, only it can happen to me when people just generally just move my stuff...

lil vixen · 27th November 2003, 21:47

I an a super clean freak. My kids tell me I am just about obessive.
Probably so lol. But everything is always in place and shiney!

eleet-2k2 · 27th November 2003, 22:58

I'm not a clean freak, but I dont let things get too messy. If it does, whenever I can spare some time and patience, I clean it right up to perfection. Then I mess it up within a week, lol.

ScorLibran · 27th November 2003, 23:24

Since I can remember, I've been a neat-freak in a bad way. (It's one of the many sub-parts of being a control-freak.) But I'm not obsessed with having everything around me wherever I go perfectly neat and clean, so I never go to someone else's house and compulsively start cleaning up.

But whoever has lived with me never really had to do anything, for the most part. For instance, my second wife was an utter slob. I loved her very much, but the girl would just let something drop, and leave it there forever unless I picked it up. She'd leave plates half-full of food under the couch, and crap like that. It was funny, in a sense. This gorgeous, amazing woman with long blonde hair and transparent blue eyes, who dedicated her life to helping others (as a nurse), and she lived at home like a wild animal. The only hectic part was when someone came over unannounced, and before answering the door I had to run around at least picking up her thongs/bras/any-other-unmentionables, while she just laughed at me. A guest finding the occasional thong under a pillow on the couch didn't bother me...my only worry was whether it was clean, because she'd also strip all the way down and change her cloths every afternoon right in the living room, leaving dirty clothes where they fell. God I miss her!

Anyway, for cleaning I always keep the laundry and dishes done (since I cook everyday too), and I hire someone else to take care of the rest, twice a week.

missyob · 28th November 2003, 10:48

Here are some "before pics" taken yesterday.. The sad part is that I had started cleaning my room before the pics were taken. It was actually worse!

~ Missy

missyob · 28th November 2003, 10:49

Here is another one. I spent an hour cleaning it yesterday and it does not look like I did a thing yet.

~ Missy

missyob · 28th November 2003, 10:52

Here is one more. The cool thing is that I did find my eyeglasses yesterday! I have been looking for them for about 2 months!

Love,
Missy

NJK · 28th November 2003, 11:09

so i can still see some carpet

I would post a pic of our bedroom but the son(also member of the forums- X-nis) has the webcam and i'm afraid to go in his room.
I might get lost there and can't find my way out

missyob · 28th November 2003, 15:09

I am done cleaning it for now. It is not perfect, but I can see the carpet! It is the first time in 4 months my room has been even semi clean. I feel alot better!

~ Missy

missyob · 28th November 2003, 15:10

Here is another one!

~ Missy

missyob · 28th November 2003, 15:12

One last picture. I am sooooooo happy I can find stuff now!

I found my eyeglasses that have been lost a long time!
