Tidy house, tidy mind?

[Jethro]

A place for everything and everything in its place.

I like neat, clean and tidy. My house is spic and span 99% of the time. I like it that way.

I couldn’t possibly use a dishwasher Annie, as soon as I finish eating, pots are in a sink of water and washed up and dried and put away out of the way before I can sit down and rest easy. I wouldn’t want to go back to the job later and put stuff away…I like to deal with it straight away…Job done!

If I just had a bowl and cup I would be the same OGF. But the way things are I would be washing dishes all day.

I would love to live in a tidy environment, unfortunately those I live with do not!

I do a lot of work/writing sat in the kitchen and I don’t like noise…Washing Machine, dishwashers etc, it would drive me mad so I just wash stuff up as I use it Annie then it doesn’t make so much of a big job at the end of the day, and there isn’t a dishwasher full of pots waiting for me. And to be honest, I don’t think they do as good a job as me washing and drying them.

A house in the next street to me has artificial grass for its lawn. I have often seen the lady of the house vacuuming it! I think she must have a very tidy mind …

Or none at all

There’s a woman in the next street who is out with the leaf blower the minute the bin men have gone.She doesn’t only do her drive and kerb but everyone else’s for about 100 yards.

How incredibly sad !
Do the bin men bring leaves to scatter ?
Our just collect the bins .

[AnnieS]

I was puzzled by the leaf blowing too. I have never understood the purpose of leaf blowers. If they blew the leaves into the green bin that would be a result!

[Pipsqueak]

You could be right Muddy, it’s certainly eccentric behaviour!

[Muddy]

Apart from anything is there any more annoying noise .?

[Psmith]

Leaf blowers blow other stuff too like dirt and litter.

[Muddy]

Brooms are quieter and more eco friendly .

[Psmith]

She probably hasn’t got the time with the whole street to dust.

I can’t decide if you are for leaf blowers or against them Mr Smith?

Personally, I’ve never seen the point of them. They just move stuff from one place to another and when the wind blows it puts it all back…

[Ian_Haines]

I do a little tidying, now and then, but leap years are simply too far apart, I’m afraid. My mind must be a real poop-hole, if there’s a connection to be found between mind and state of house.

Now that’s what I call music Mr Smith…

I haven’t figured out what leaf blowers are for but using the same device as a leaf vac can be helpful for hard-to-get-at locations. I’ve got one but hardly use it.

As for dishwashers they have been a must for thirty years. Their technology is so advanced these days. I have it running almost daily in an open-plan kitchen living room while watching TV without feeling disturbed. Should be super silent devices, though.

[Psmith]

We have a very efficient dishwasher and I’m very quiet.

[spitfire]

It’s all the same instinct, some folks are fascinated with a pressure washer, blasting water on a hard surface, some folks (for the same intrinsic reason presumably) blast leaves from one place to another, it’s that time of year coming, to dust off the Leaf Blower!
