I try to keep on top of things but yes another messy house person here. For me its the dust. Dust is the bain of my exisitance. My home is forever dusty and I cannot be bothered with trying to keep up with it. Not because I am lazy, not because it would take me 2-3 weekends of good hard work to do all the timber ... BUT because we live in a very old, all timber, farm house. The dirt and crap is continually blowing in from the outside and gets in through all th esmall holes you don't notice are there.
I do try to keep the living room and the bedrooms reasonably clean but somedays I just cannot do it. and like Just me says it is often a reflection of how I am feeling. If I am flat out or having an "I cannot be F'd" day then these spaces really reflect that.
