    I'd love to say both, but for me right now it has to be clean. I make sure the kitchen is clean every night before bed, I don't mind dishes in the dish rack (after being washed).

    I try to tidy every couple of days, usually when I clean, but sometimes it is once a week for a tidy, still cleaning every couple of days. I vac the floors 3 or 4 times a week, especially the loungeroom as leaves etc get traipsed in from outdoors.

    I can't stand walking into places where i can feel crumbs etc under my feet, it makes my flesh crawl.

    Tidy - with an active one year old I only have enough time to go around picking everything up and do a quick wipe of the benches on a daily basis.
    Proper cleaning (mopping, scrubbing toilets etc) only gets done on Sundays now - which is hard as I used to be the type of person who would clean the skirting boards and doors etc every week.

    Definitely clean! I can't stand crumbs on the floor or a sticky floor. Kitchen has to be both, I'm forever telling DH not to dump paperwork/keys/wallet etc on the kitchen bench, drives me batty!

    House definitely gets untidy with toys spread everywhere but at least I know it's clean underneath lol!

    Clean, but some areas can't be clean unless they are tidy as well.
