I TRY to be neat, but what with Simon (possibly the messiest person in the WORLD), Archie (destroyer of books, pens, cardboard boxes....anything he can shred/splinter)...and my disinclination to tidy and clean when there's anything else I could be doing...well my house typically looks like a disaster zone!
When we can afford it, we're going to get a cleaner. Cleaning the puppy-footprinted floors KILLS me with my Fibro so I can rarely be ar*ed!
