Me & Mrs Fender are always doing battle.
I’m super clean / tidy & minimalist.
She’s untidy, never throws anything away…
I put my hand up to being a tidy/clean type, not overly clean, just the right amount.
I’m starting to get really narked again living in this bungalow. There’s no room for stuff to display, it’s all in cupboards that are heaving with stuff already in there. 
I’ll have to start chucking stuff out (again). Downsizing sucks 
A bombsite LQ.
Just seen this thread.
Too many keep passing away. I just start sorting one lot, then another passes away. I NEED HELP. I have seven hoovers now.
Trouble is trying to clean around all the stuff.
Yep! Downsizing is OK if you move to a big house. 
Haha
Have you seen on Escape to the country and the like, they all buy HUGE houses and I bet none of them see the extended family from one year to the next 
Hi
Normally clean and tidy.
New house is just a jumble of boxes and mess.
The good thing is no white carpets.
7 hoovers? :shock:
You’ll get there Swimmy.
White carpets would have to be a no no here
I Dysons where I can see carpet. I am a hoarder of most things soft toy related, they do get moved sometimes & cuddled in living room & bedroom.
My kitchen is clean & shower, loo’s etc.
My house is split level, bedrooms, bathroom are down the stairs & the other rooms on street level.
My carpets are all patterned, my home is stuck in the 80’s.
My little home is being held up by 4 others as I’m in the middle of a terrace 35 yrs old and my sanctuary . Smells of insence , pictures of fairies and Buddha’s , and dream catchers ,fluffy cushions and soft music and home cooked food welcomes visitors. I’m told the house has good vibes and feels good . Its my spiritual home for however long .It’s tidy , sunny and bright and always warm .

It’s true I tell you.
What is your home like.? was the question so best start with what it was like.
it is a 4 bed house built on the mid 1980’s and never modernised. virtually everything needed doing including the amateur efforts of the previous owner who claimed to be a builder.
Where do we start? lets go from the front door. This he has tried fitting a yale door catch with one side metric and the other imperial so it would close properly. I got around that by filing down the part that goes into the recess bit which had been plastered in place to fill in the cockup.
Next was downstairs cloakroom
Fitted new skirting boards as had holes in where old pipes came through . Retiled window shelf old had damn great footprint marks and not level. Sue re papered and painted
hall new carpet stairs and landing . Moved doorbell to get rid of loads of wires and replaced door bell push and front door fittings replaced.
Kitchen new overhead lighting and new central heating boiler
General
before I go on have to mention all internal door locks checked and where needed fixed. All windows eased off as they are ones than open up to
clean outside. New carpets throughout. new radiators and heated towel rails to replace old radiators in bathroom and ensuite
conservatory
new UPVC top put on dwarf wall.
landing
removed power cables around skirting under carpet
complete refurb of main bathroom and ensuite. Complete redecoration in all rooms.
Outside removed 2 log sheds and replaced one with greenhouse the other removed completely as it extended over the conservatory window.
Garage
took 2 days to dismantle 2 work benches made of tree trunks split from top to bottom and then sort out the electrics. replaced doors with electric roller shutter type
Think I have left out a lot more but gives the general idea of what the place was like and how it is now. See Carols question on bathrooms
Bedroom before and after.
I took down the dividing wall and made two rooms into one.
Awwww! You got teddy bears in chairs too. Though I think I have a lot more that you have.
Good idea to make the room bigger.
Our home is really tiny … as we live and travel in a camper van in UK and Europe. Do have rental property in UK but love living in wheels, every day different … now where shall we go next week.
Hi
Just downsized massively, from a huge 4 bed with dressing room etc to a small, Ex Council, end terrace.
Weird though it is, I love it.
For the last 40 tears been in a detached, strange having noises from next door.
Street Light right outside, a constant stream of Blues and Twos.
The next road across, about 200 metres away was shut off by over 20 Armed Police last Friday.
Do I miss it, well yes, in a strange way.
£15 quid a week mate to make sure nothing happens to your can.
Swan Off, if anything happens to my car, there will be trouble.
They never learn, the arrogant pillocks.
£420 including my excess to get it done.
They will be paying me for it.
In the meantime, one broken femur, two dislocated kneecaps and an idiot who ran away, tripped up and knocked himself out.
Such is life, I can live with it.
There is something seriously wrong with life today, when I was a kid nobody hit or robbed your Granny,
If they did they got absolutely hammered and nobody saw anything.
Here in the Town, it is par for the course, I find it so wrong.
Big Ted gets to sit on the bed in pride of place. He even gets his own festive cushion and hat at Christmas time. 
Which one is Big Ted? Photo please.
