TD I used to be like you. But I was literally going insane. I still have my moments of insanity. My DS has gastro atm and lets just say my house smells like a combination of pine-o-clean, vinegar and lavender and bleach. My hands have had enough washing today to last me a lifetime. But am I a twice a day girl, alas not anymore. But ironically if I went to anyone's house I couldn't tell. I really couldn't. Unless you had like a lifetime of cereal and pet hair on the floor I really wouldn't know if you'd vacuumed two seconds before I arrived or last week... And its a ritual to me its not about other people's houses
