I was talking to some friends about this on Friday night-they were both saying that they were constantly moving stuff around and felt that they needed a week just to try to get to the bottom of their houses. One was saying that she was embarrassed when people dropped round because it was so messy.
It got me thinking really. I might have cupboards that need sorting out and God knows what's in the loft or garage, but generally each room is very tidy. There is a place for everything (we haven't got tonnes of storage, but don't hoard) and I try to leave a room tidy as I walk out-cushions back on the sofa, washing away, surfaces clear, chairs pushed in, toys picked up etc
I just didn't get that it bothered them so much that their houses were (in their words) 'tips', yet didn't just sort them out!
Both have children at school (I've got 2 at school and one toddler)-so they have time. I'm probably sounding annoying and perfect which isn't my intention at all-I'm just being nosy and wondered how you'd feel if people just dropped in-would your house be presentable, or would you try to herd them into one room that you knew was tidy!?
