    Okay so I was away last night and most of yesterday visiting a friend and when I got back this evening I actually nearly freakin cried, I swear.

    I was attempting an all out strike in regards the cleaning carry on, I'd literally only cleaned after myself for a coupla days and was just about resisting the urge to clean ANYTHING else, bin was stinking, crumbs all over the shop....nearly killed me but I managed. I had been from time to time opening the window in one of the lads rooms to air it so the stench would be relieved a bit and not contaminate the rest of the house....I stopped doing that. Sooooo I was holding out in the hope that my little "chat" with em the other day might motivate one of em to do some bit of cleaning in my absence yesterday when they noticed the state of the place..........got in this evening and:

    1) The place stinks
    2) Take away stuff from last night teetering on top of the bin/beside it
    3) One of em did about two weeks worth of washin and so there's clothes everywhere, meaning if I wanna wash anything i'll have to make the effrt to move it somewhere coz he's f**d off for a few days

    And the most upsetting of all: someone had spilled something sticky all over the floor in the living room and just left it there....queue ants crawling all over the place, wandered in in my socks to watch tv and walked straight into it.............

    The have angered me too much this time, honestly no more missus nice gal, they're getting a major bollocking when they're back on Tues.

    Bollicking won't make any difference.


    2 Things motivate guys to clean:

    1) OCD
    2) A chick coming over.

    Mor ethan likely they were overly mothered as children and therefore haven't the foggiest on how to clean and tidy. They also sound selfish as they put it "You're the one who wants the house clean".

    From experience there is no way of getting them to change their habits since it goes as far back as their original nurturing.

    My recommendation, save your energy about to be used in whinging and arguing, and instead start tidying your room and saving for a place for yourself.

    People don't change. Ever.
