What to say when people call you messy

Some folks are just not naturally tidy, let’s face it cleaning isn’t exactly most people’s idea of a good time.

The tough thing about being messy is when you have unexpected guests show up at the door you are in a state of panic! You try and hide your crap in cupboards, under the bed to no avail, your room still looks like a mess.

My friend’s house looked a bit like a pigsty and I was secretly horrified when I saw the door to his room open. I really didn’t think it looked like an inhabitable place to sleep. Well, the next time I went over it was all clean and sparkly, a miracle had truly occurred.

When I asked what happened he told me he read Marie Kondo’s book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and he was now able to keep his room clean. I now really believe that there is hope for everyone to become a little tidier.
