Are you a slob or neat freak?

I admit it... I'm not naturally a neat person.

I can clean and organize with the best of them, but in between - things fall quickly into disarray. My husband lovingly jokes about Mount Washmore, our unending supply of laundry. I don't have a wardrobe : I have a floordrobe.

I'm cleaning up ( slowly, on crutches ) from a month long hiatus of housecleaning, and wondering about you.

Neat freak? Slob? Somewhere in between?

    I would be a neat freak if I wasn't so lazy :)

    I'm in between.

    There are some spots in the house that I keep more organized than others. I hate laundry, so my laundry room can sometimes be a disaster :)

    I'm a total slob and everyone I ever lived with will vouch for that. My fiance's a neat freak. You could walk in my bedroom and easily point out which side is mine.

    Lets put it this way- im a lazy neat freak.
    if I had $100 in my bank account then $80 of it would go to my house cleaner. She's awesome.

    yesterday i noticed a full on spider web on one of my lamps. it was all dusty so it had been there a while. my husband and i take turns doing the dishes and the laundry. my husband vacuums once or so a week. i hate cleaning the bathroom, but i do that at least once a week. i also make the bed every day.

    other than that, we're pretty messy. if i wanted to i could keep the place organized. but i'm lazy and there are other things i want to do, so it waits.

    Me too. I actually get kinda annoyed when someone else offers to clean the house. I like to clean and on top of that I like things to be organized and cleaned MY way. I hate not being able to find something because the house is not in order..

    I'm a neat freak with my kitchen and bathroom... the rest of my house will be a mess until somebody else decides to clean after themselves!!!

    Somewhat of a neat freak, with a tad bit of OCD. However, my mail is always in organized chaos.

    I am a recovering total slob! Still have relapses and let the house get out of control but try my best to stay on top of it and keep a clean tidy house! Why you ask did I change? My boyfriend, his 5 year old son and I moved in together.

    different areas get different levels of attention.

    kitchen = clean ALWAYS
    bedroom = pretty clean
    dining table area = messy (I sit here all the time working on school stuff so there's books, papers, etc)

    On the slob side, BUT there are certain items that I'm overly anal about their organization- Art supplies are always in a specific color order, Cosmetics are organized by type and color in small bins...

    I was a complete neat freak until the gym took over my life...now the house seems to get pushed to the back burner...

    I live by the old adage "A clean house is the sign of a wasted life" well that's my excuse for not doing my housework anyway. I am messy at home but OCD at work. Can't stand a messy desk. Weird.

    My husband is a slob, which has pushed me into being not just neat, but pretty OCD about it. The money I pay a housekeeper to clean every 2 weeks is completely worth it and allows me to live in the same house as my husband (I am SO not joking).

    I go through neat freak phases..but for the most part I'm regular. House is untidy sometimes but never ever dirty. Huge difference.

    slob and packrat... bad combo. :ohwell:
    I have a horizontal filing system on my desk at home.... you can not see the desk for all the stacks of paper on it.
    I bought a Neat scanner to organize all of my papers..... it doesn't recognize things like they advertised so I perceive it will be too much work to get organized.... ugh what a vicious cycle. :noway:

    My husband is a neat freak and some how has learned to tolerate my mess for 19 years. :heart:

    I'm neat everywhere else in my house except for my room. My room looks like a bomb and tornado hit it. It's a mess but every time I try to clean it I end up finding things that I thought I lost and get distracted. It's a never ending battle :p
