Finally went round their house this weekend after putting it off because I don't like her (she has an allergy and literally it is all she ever talks about - she is just me me me me me) and because MIL said her house wasn't very clean (and MIL never says anything bad about anyone!!) - well it was like something from Kim & Aggie's programme!!
They have a bush by the front door that the cats sleep in!! You can imagine the smell - I didn't even want to walk into the house let alone have to stand waiting for them to open the door smelling cat piss!! Then when we went in it was appalling - I have to say that I have only seen houses quite so dirty on How Clean is Your House!!
The other side fo the door smelt as bad as outside - they had a cat scratching post and numerous other cat things just insode the door and after that I really couldn't tell you what was in each room or what each room was used for because I literally had to wade through dirty clothes, cat paraphanalia and papers and boxes everywhere. They have lived in the house for over 6 months and was blaming the filth on the previous owners - but really it was the dirtiest house I have ever ever in my life been into - I said to DH if we were viewing houses I would have taken one look at the outside and walked off without going in asnd if I had gone in I wouldn't have got past the hallway!!
Now I have said to DH that I will not be going back - I am a bit funny about cleaning anyway - I do it too much!! but they have said that they are planning a big celebration round there at Xmas for DHs mums B'day - I cannot even imagine what must be lurking in the refridgerator let alone on their cutlery and crockery - DH thinks I am being a bit over dramatic and says that I should make an effort and maybe just not eat anything that isn't pre packed (what like the stuff I take in my lunch box!!) and if I take some anti histamines I should be fine.
I feel like crying - I have only just stopped scratching after Saturday and now I have to psyche myself up to go through it all again in another 6 months!!
