    A certain useless person moved out a while back.

    This is what it had been like consistently for a year or longer, no matter how much I cleaned up, it reverted to this.

    This is what it looks like now she's gone.

      You have done a wonderful job. It is heartbreaking when some people abuse your home. It can be devastating what some people will do, stripping it bare. Hope you sell soon. :dbgrtmb:

          What just because she's got a house for sale.. that's shallow. There is something called LOVE, but I suppose a house for sale will do. Can I be bridesmade ? I'll bring my own dress...:hapydancsmil:

            it's like that programme "how clean is your house" but the mess is much more contained in this case...
            Any way let's not be too quick to judge because the case is often that the person creating the mess doesn't like it at all, but there are several reasons why it can happen.

            For instance I was never allowed to do anything indoors and that left me with not much clue where to start when houseworking (is that how you say..?). But improving at the speed of light!

            Well now that the property is ready we will have to view it...

            (PS me too bridesmaid!!!-I will make my own dress-ta)

                  I rent our bungalow, and would never dream of making such a mess, but then that's how I was bought up. :wub2:
