How Clean Is Your House?

[K8-EEE]

OMG, that is the best show EVER!! Has anybody seen it? These houses are FILTHY, I mean really horrible, they look in all the drawers and in the fridge and everything.

I know this sounds like the most boring concept but (and I may just be losing my mind from all the cable TV news I've put myself through the last few months) I thought it was fascinating in a sick way!

1. Is this

a new reality show ?? Sounds interesting er ahh...

I clean houses for a living. You would not believe the stuff I see. It's...beyond discription at times. I can't believe the filth people will live in and people with children I would never subject my child to the unnecessary filth I see in my line of work. It's mind boggeling.

3. Yeah It's A Show But We Could Do A Poll Too!!

OMG, these two British ladies lecture people about what slobs they are....they were telling this woman "the inside of your fridge was even filthier than your toilet! You could have gotten an INFECTION, so many AILMENTS...WE SAVED YOUR LIFE!"

They did a promo for next week (Monday on Lifetime) and it was the I-let-my-dogs-pee-in-the-house-and-just-ignore -it house.

This ladies walk in and they're all like "Oh HEAVENS!! THE SMELL! THE SMELL!"

They don't try to be nice or anything...for some reason I think it's hilarious.

6. LMAO

I would love to tell my clients how I really feel. But I wouldn't last long. I usually say "oh it's not that bad, I've seen worse"

If it wasn't for slobs I would be out of work. I love em !

2. This is a show?? I thought it was a poll. Mine is HORRIBLE

I'm pathologically messy it seems. All kinds of paper clutter. Mail. Boxes. Bags. Why?

4. No that's MESSY this is more like FILTHY

This is like, you would not use these people's bathrooms....you would go to the gas station, I mean that's the kind of houses they look for. It's wild!

I'm a reformed clutter-er myself, a couple of years ago I went to this Flylady website, got her book, got totally re-organized and now I wonder why I let it stack up in the first place, but I sure DID!

9. Yeah They Don't Have To Treat Them Like Clients

On the promo for next week, they are pointing at these bathroom faucets that I can only describe as ENCRUSTED...with I don't even know what the lady is sort of a Scottish sounding Mary Poppins and she is telling him THIS...IS...disGUSTIN', my GOD!

7. they say that clutter is a sign of creativity !!!!!!!!!

Once, years ago, when my son was 2 years old, we went to spend a week at a cousin's house in another town. Upon return to our home, and on opening the door to our then apartment, which remained just as we had left it, my two year old son said, "back to OUR LOVELY MESS". My cousin was an obsessive compulsive about cleanliness. Neither my son nor I felt comfortable during the time we spent there but felt relaxed upon returning home and seeing our, LOVELY MESS, as my son so aptly put it. :) :) :) :-) :-) :-)

8. Perhaps That's True Sometimes But...

my clutter was just creating unnecessary drama and aggravation (like, finding myself charged a late fee on the Visa bill because it was lost in some pile)

Or, my daughter tearing the house apart in the morning looking for matching socks which were in the washer & I forgot to put them in the dryer, " or my husband asking "Have you seen the..." "Where the hell is the..." questions non-stop.

I guess I must have liked it at one point because obviously I choose to live that way when my kids were toddlers but now that we are all so busy it started driving me NUTS!!

I find we are much happier and get along much better now that I've thrown out a TON OF STUFF and organized everything....I even have velcro on the remote control, LOL!!

5. I'd like them to do my house

But I'd be too embarrassed to have it on TV in front of god and everybody.
