I muct admit i thought I was pretty on top of things after retiring!!!!!! But-------------- getting company next week so thought I had better move the spare bed as much as I could and hoover under neath and lo and behold under the dust and dustmites I found a pair of my Hubby's glasses that he lost about a year ago, or maybe two year's, along with a tie that he lost only in April this year. I am ashamed but my kitchen and bathroom are alway's fairly clean??!!**"" |

Angela - you really MUST watch it, it makes you feel totally SAINTLY!!!! Some of these people haven't cleaned anything for over 10 years!! My kids LOVE the show and it just makes me feel so virtuous - even if my house is like a tip, at least its a million times better than those on the TV!! By the way, they mainly use old fashioned methods - lots of vinegar, lemon juice, salt etc etc. Maz. XX |

Without having seen the show, I would imagine they go round saying things should be zapped with loads of antibacterial stuff! I subscribe to good old fashioned soap and washing stuff down in v. hot water myself. Not sure the antibacterial stuff does much good in the long run - too much disinfection weakens the immune system, and makes the bugs immune in my opinion. But then I'm a bit wierd! I'd be quite confident if anyone wanted to check out my kitchen and bathroom. But if they looked under the kids' beds that might be a different matter. I'm sure my kids are busy cultivating penicillin under those!!!! Angela :-) |

Never seen them - it would depress me too much. With a full time job to hold down, 2 kids and hubby who doesn't know one end of our washing machine from the other I never stay on top of things. My philosophy is to keep kitchen/bathroom clean but the rest often has to wait. Angela :-) |

Does anyone watch this program also the other one that Houses behaving badly . One of them gave a tip about rubbing a lemon on a new shower curtain to stop it going mouldy but I can't remember what to do exactly and I was hoping someone can help me before I put my new shower curtain up. Thanks in anticipation Dedrah |
