Do you consider yourself immaculent, messy, or somewhere in between?

What category do you think that you fall into? Have people told you this or is this what you think from your own habits?

I am close to in fact almost immaculate ( I have never heard of immaculent?). I cannot stand messiness. I think my home has a comfy lived in look without being messy.

My mom was always that way and she kept everything in its place. It was always tidy, and thats how I was raised. Appreciate the response, maybe thats why it bugs me when everything is not in order lol

Oh, it is so funny what our mind does! I never noticed the typo but just read it immaculate.

Probably on the messy end of somewhere in between. This is what I know. I don't pay attention to what other people say for the most part.

If there was a scale I would be bordering on the messy side! It's not that I don't take pride in my appearance, it's just that I can't be fussed with spending ages in front of a mirror making myself look immaculate. I don't have the time, inclination or the patience! People take me as they find me, if my hair ain't straight or my clothes are not in perfect order so be it! I am what I am, take me as you find me, and that's it, I don't dress to impress, if I am comfortable that's the important thing!

That just sounds like a nice healthy attitude to have. Who should be in front of the mirror all the time....that would get so boring unless someone was just inlove with theirself lol I guess there are some people who like it lol

I'm probably somewhere in between. I am certainly not a neat freak or immaculate. I am a mess when it comes to my office...there are papers all over my desk. But the rest of the house is pretty clean most of the time. What about you?

I want to apologize about that because I am not always searching the topics before I post. However I can assure you , I am not a copier....I have been here a long time and have always got my own questions and thoughts, and have not run out of ideas yet. I would not stay here if I felt I had to copy. I do feel that the discussions are very close to the same but exactly, no, I asked very specific questions ....Have a great day and happy my lotting!

I'm an in between person. My floors are always clean. I was a nanny years ago and their mother while a wonderful lady, and quite busy, always had the dirtiest floors. The rest of the house was fine, but her carpet and then her tile in the bathrooms were gross. I cleaned them once, and she got angry. I guess she thought by cleaning them I was saying she wasn't doing a good job maintaining her house. After that I became a stickler for clean floors where I lived. Her house had such gross floors it makes me sick when I think about it. The part that I am messy in is that I don't always hang up my clothes. I'll put them over a chair, or on my bed, and never really hang them up.

I am somewhat inbetween. I like my house to be all picked up all the time....I don't like dishes in the sink and I really can't work on anything else until everything is in it's place. That is most of the time. I now am a little bit more lax about some things. Like if the room where the grandkid plays is messy I might just close the door. And sometimes my craft room looks like it exploded but usually I stop inbetween projects and reorganize again.

I have to agree about the dish;s in the sink, I cant stand an untidy kitchen so that would drive me crazy lol I am very picky about the kitchen...appreciate the response.

I would say that I fall in between. I'm not messy but I'm not immaculate either. No one has ever had to tell me this, it is just something that I know.

I would have to say that I am in between. Cleaning in not a priority, but living in a mess is not what I will do either.

My own habits tell me I am messy. I would love to be tidy, but immaculate would cause too much tension, in my opinion.

why, yes, it would. You are a hard worker and that would be too much stress.....enjoy doing whats comfortable and forget the stress, it makes us sick...

Generally I am a very clean and organized person. Since developing fibromyalgia i am not able to keep up the house like I would like and it drives me crazy. Drives my family crazier cause I always freak out and they are not as clean as I am!!!

I can understand this because when you are used to it all being a certain way, it certainly is not an easy adjustment to make.Appreciate the response.

I would have to say I am in between the two. If I was immaculent it would drive me crazy trying to keep it that way for sure. I have a bad habit of not throwing things away when I should and I do have some clutter in closets and drawers. I like to say that my house has that "lived in" look. haha

Oh no, I am totally neurotic. I have been since a child and I am passing it on to my twins too. It is rare if I allow messes to occur in my home. Or, if I allow a toys to remain on the floor for longer than 2 days. I am a proud neurotic too. I mean, someone has to be and usually, employers are looking for someone with this quality, right? LOL

I'm not a neat freak but I don't like to have a messy house either. In comparison to my MIL I'm messy. But in comparison to my friend Sharon, I'm am very tidy. So I guess I'm somewhere in between. I'm particular about certain things (always wear makeup when I go out, I vacuum 2 times a day - my dog sheds!, etc.) but not so picky about others (my car isn't always the cleanest and I sometimes just shut the door on a messy room) . How about you, girlfriend?
