I used to share a bedroom with a sister who was always much tidier than me.  It would be a battle ground and after a while, her irritation with my less tidy ways would boil over and a clear demarkation line would appear, beyond which I dare not let anything of mine stray – particularly me.

Getting down to the basics of a good clean up has always been a problem for me.  I have never grasped the essentials of how to keep my pad really tidy.  I don’t like to think about it too much, as long as it doesn’t smell, there is nothing crawling around, the work tops look and feel clean and I can see nothing rotting, I feel fairly satisfied.  My best way forward was to get in a professional cleaning company to really give my place the best sorting out ever.  I felt like a million dollars afterwards. So worth the fee!
