    How neat are you?
    - I'm an extremist. I'm either super neat or super NOT. Right now I'm super NOT.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    - I do dishes everyday. Sweeping and mopping happen a lot less often.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    - No.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    - Put it in laundry bags. But yikes, I have socks on the floor. I'll be honest, I have a lot on my floor right now!

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    - Half and half. Depends on how much was done at a time.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    - Never.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    - All meals.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    - In my heart. I am when I like where I live. I despise apartment dwelling.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    - I wish I were neater. But I am when I live in houses.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    - I know where everything is.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    - I ride the subway.

    I'm pretty neat and organized, but not obsessive or anything. All the things on your list are done most of the time, but sometimes things get put off due to busy schedule or whatever.

    We eat home cooked the majority of the time. The dirty laundry is usually in the hamper, the clean laundry is usually put away. My car generally stays clean (at least on the inside).

    So, I guess I'm normal?

    How neat are you? i'm either super obsessively clean or could care less. right now i'm obsessive.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    i have three roommates, sometimes I refuse to do the dishes or clean until they do something, but they don't, and I get neurotic so I just cave and do it. So they're always done.

    Do you or your SO make your bed? We have a really simple bed, all it takes is pulling up the comforter and it looks done, so .. yea.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry? put it on the floor in the closet, and then gather it all up into ikea bags to take down to the laundry room.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    it gets put away

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes? we are a non-ironing household.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week? I cook every single meal. or uncook... i'm like half raw vegan right now. I don't really like going out because it's expensive, i'd rather stay home and make something. So i guess I cook like 7 meals a week. breakfast and lunch don't count.

    Would you call yourself domestic? yeah i guess so. idk. a little bit.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat? not so neat.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is? I know where everything is.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home? i walk. or bus. or bike.

    I go through phases. I like having the dishes put away, laundry picked up, all of my mobile small furniture stacked up or out of the way. I clean the kitchen and bathroom thoroughly on most weekends. I do laundry every 2 or 3 weeks since its so inconvenient and I have enough clean shirts but I wear pants for several days. Arguably, I have a 1000 sq ft apartment so its not a lot of space to clean.

    Sometimes I'm just too busy to do it all with school and work. Usually during finals week its a mess in here but I really need to focus on school and not anything else. I usually end up eating a lot of take out that week as well which leaves the kitchen somewhat intact.

    Bed never, ever, ever gets made. I have this huge fluffy comforter that just haphazardly gets pulled over the whole thing and I like it like that. Its so inviting and snuggly. My car usually has some crap under the seats or stuff left on the back seat. I live pretty high up in my building and its a huge PITA to go down to clean it all specifically. I bring stuff up when I have a free hand but I never make a special trip.

    I like doing everything myself. I make my own household cleaners and I hate ordering takeout unless I'm super busy. I do take my car to the car wash. I used to wash it in my parents driveway but it took me more than an hour, I got a nasty sunburn, and I'm so short I had trouble reaching certain spots on my already tiny car. For $8 its worth the far better job I get done at the car wash and all the water it saves.

    A. Dishes done everyday and as soon as possible after they are used.

    Q. Do you or your SO make your bed?
    A. Yes, I do it daily and right after I am done getting dressed in the morning.

    Q. What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    A. It goes in the basket and is hidden from view in the closet until I have enough for a decent size load.

    It is folded or ironed and then put away directly from the dryer or clothes line.

    A. Yes, a domestic goddess to be exact.

    A. I know where everything is in our house…with a few exceptions here and there.

    Super neat-o. Not so neat.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    Dishes- daily
    Floor swept- weekly
    Floor mop- weekly
    Vacuum- never! Haha, I've got great stone/tile floors

    I do when I put new sheets on, but other than that, fuck making beds!

    Put away. Quickly. Still warm.

    How neat are you? I'm pretty neat. Occassionally, if I'm sad, I'll become too lazy to clean, but most of the time I have a tidy home.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed? Sweeping and vacuming 1x a week, usually sundays. Dishes done daily or near daily, usually in the mornings, mopping- as needed, 1-2x a month.

    Do you or your SO make your bed? I make my bed, usually in the afternoon, b/c I take naps.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry? Rob throws it on the floor, I put it away (in the laundry basket, in the laundry room. I used to keep a basket in the bedroom, and in the bath, but he still put it on the floor more often then not. So as a part of my daily chores, I put it away.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away? It gets put away, not always the same day though. I currently still have about 2 loads to put away, but that's a rarity, our dryer broke, and we didn't have one for two weeks, almost 3, so I did 7 loads in 2 days time.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes? I iron his clothes as he needs them, same for my own. 3-5x per week I guess.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week? I cook loads, we only eat out 1-2x a week most of the time. I also make a lot of leftovers.

    Would you call yourself domestic? yeppers. I'm a domestic goddess in the making.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat? I wish I was neater. I wish I washed my windows, and I wish my home looked like a proper 50's housewife's should. I'm getting there though. Mostly, we have too much stuff. I like to save things.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is? I always know where things are- except for me keys, liscense, phone and a pair of scissors. For some reason, I always have to look for those items.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home? We keep our car very tidy. I guess it's slightly neater, but our house is very clean too.

    How neat are you?
    Some what neat but some things I get lazy about.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    Dishes done everyday, my loors are laminate and are swept and mopped about 2-3 times a week.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    I make it.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    Goes in the laundry basket and waits to be washed.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    This is a big weakness io mine. I HATE HATE HATE putting away laundry so sometimes it waits in the basket for a while.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    I don't iron. I use downey winkle release and the steam from my shower when something is wrinkly.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    I never used to cook but since I started eating low-carb I'd say I only go out to eat maybe 1-2 times a week. The rest of the time I cook.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    Not at all...I'd go insane as a house wife.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    I wish I had the time to be more neat.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    I'm pretty organized. I never lose my keys or anything like that.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    My house...for sure. Sometimes my car gets a little messy but not disgusting. I just clean it less than I clean my house.

    anything else?
    I am so glad not to have carpet anymore. I HATE vaccuming with a passion. They are loud and heavy. I'd much rather use my swiffer vac and mop to clean my laminate floors any day. I love my pets but the downside it how much fur they shed !

    Not very.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    I do the dishes every other day or so. If the other things get done it's not by me!
    Well, I might sweep once a week or so. I don't have carpet so there's not much vaccuming.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    No one makes the bed.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    It goes in the hamper.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    Occasionally I get ambitious and put it away, but it lives in the basket half the time.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    That would be never.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    Ummm... The extent of my cooking is spaghetti or other simple pasta dishes like macaroni etc. I would say once or twice a week for real 'meals.' but i cook snacks for myself fairly frequently. I'm not really on a breakfast-lunch-dinner eating schedule. I eat about 5 times a day.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    Nope

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    It would be nice if I enjoyed cleaning and cooking.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    I usually know where everything is.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    My car is very clean. I am diligent about that!

    How neat are you?

    Fairly so, except at finals time. Though I am always surrounded by books. Everywhere.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    I try to do the dishes everyday. I only have carpet, so I try to do that once a week.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?

    Never ever.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?

    I have a bag in the closet.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?

    It lives on a chair for a day sometimes (See: Finals), but then I put it away. I got rid of the basket for that reason.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?

    Fairly often. I like ironing. I hate rumply clothes.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?

    Minimal cooking each day. Most of it involves pasta. I used to cook a little more, but I'm not good at it.

    Would you call yourself domestic?

    I like ironing and sewing, so potentially domestic.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    I wish I was more organized.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    Depends on what.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?

    No car. But when I had one-oh, my home.

    anything else?

    I'm moving, so mad cleaning coming soon.

    don't know why, just felt like asking.

    Personally, I swing between OCD Monica from Friends clean and sloppy bachelor pad. It's ridiculous.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    Dishes currently in the sink, although usually I wash them after using them. I sweep and mop weekly, and vacuum twice a month at most. (unless of course something dirty happens)

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    i do. but we sleep on top of our comforter under another one that doesn't match our bed now. so all i do is straighten out the bedspread and fold the one we sleep under.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    One hamper in the bathroom and one in my closet

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    Always put away immediately

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    Rarely, most of our clothes don't need it.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    I try to, but with the crappy kitchen appliances in my rented apartment, it's easier to order out. I do try to cook at least once or twice a week. It would be a dream to have a fantastic kitchen with an oven that works and the space to make incredible meals. I watch Food Network almost daily.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    I'd love to, but not with our current living situation.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    neater, but less ocd when things are neat. when it's time to 'clean house', i make a huge mess taking clothes out of drawers and re-filing all of our records. i can't just grab the feather duster and call it a day. once i get the apartment the way i like it, my boyfriend can destroy it in five minutes, so i wish i was more easy going about that.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    i know where everything is, even if the house is a mess

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    home is always cleaner, but i try to get the car cleaned out often

    anything else?
    dust collects in my home overnight and it makes me want to cry

    Do you cook? How many meals a week? I cook breakfast and dinner maybe every other day, but my idea of cooking is very simple/low fuss.

    Would you call yourself domestic? hell no. I have a good eye for decorating, but I hate housework.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat? no, I'm happy with how I am.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is? I'm usually neat/clean; I know where things are.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home? right now, neither. But that's because I'm in the process of packing and moving. Usually they're both clean.

    anything else? I like kittens.

    How neat are you? I'm pretty neat - everything has a place, things aren't just out laying around, etc. I'm organized and clean. I DO have my lazy moments and there are a few days out of the week where things aren't as clean as they could be, but with a two year old running around, it just happens. Haha.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed? The dishes are hand-washed and put in the dishwasher as soon as I'm done using them. The floors are always swept and the carpets are vacuumed every couple of days.

    Do you or your SO make your bed? We don't live together ATM. He rarely makes his, I make mine everyday.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry? Throw it in the basket.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away? I put it up pretty much right away.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes? Never, unless they need to be ironed for a special occasion.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week? I cook at home, everyday pretty much. SO cooks when I'm at his house; he cooks about 3-5 times a week, I'd say.

    Would you call yourself domestic? Somewhat.


    Is your car cleaner, or your home? Apartment is definitely cleaner. With SO's two kids and my toddler, it can get kind of messy.

    I've very organized (counters/desks), but things like dishes and clothes are left messy

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    When there are no more dishes to use. Usually about once a week. We don't do anything with the floors.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    nope.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    BF puts it in the hamper. I leave mine on the floor and wait for him to put it in the hamper

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    we put the laundry away. There isn't enough room in our TINY apartment to have it out.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    never

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    BF cooks. Generally all meals.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    no. Not at this crappy apartment. It's too small to try to keep clean.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    I wish I had more space to be neater. Right now I couldn't even lay straight on the floor...thats how small our place is.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    as long as no one touches my stuff, I know exactly where my stuff is.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    It doesn't accumulate crap like my house does but it does have a lot of stuff in it because I have no room in my home for things like my golf clubs and stuff like that.



    If I lived in a place I liked I would keep it cleaner, this place is just trash.

    Before I had kids, my house was spotless. Now, no matter how much I pick up, vacuum, sweep, do laundry...my house never gets to the spotless that I prefer and it drives me f'ing nuts!

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?

    Everything is done daily. With kids, I couldn't get away with doing it any less.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?

    I do.

    Laundry room...I try to do a few loads every couple of days. Lately, it seems that laundry days are getting fewer and farther between.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?

    I try to get it put away, but if it stays in the basket, well...at least it's clean.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?

    Iron? What's that? I ironed a pair of Joe's dress pants and a dress shirt and burned my arm...so screw that...he's just going to have to remember to drop everything off at the cleaners!! heh

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?

    I cook breakfast, lunch and prepare all mid-meal snacks every day. I cook dinner a few times a week, Joe cooks dinner on the weekends and the days I don't cook during the week.

    Would you call yourself domestic?

    I would call myself mildly insane right now...but, yeah...sure...domestic....not domesticated, though.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?

    I wish I didn't need to have everything so damn neat. Livable should be fine, but I run myself into the ground trying to keep the house so spotless it drives almost as nuts as not having it spotless. *le sigh*

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?

    Before I had kids, I knew where everything was because "everything has a place and it's all in it's place". These days? I'm lucky if I can find my car keys in less than 10 mintues. Especially since I have a little monkey who will climb anything and everything to grab my 1) keys 2) cellphone and 3) purse.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?

    Definitely my home.

    anything else?

    One of these days, I will have a spotless house and car again...probably when the baby leaves for college...but, better late than never, eh??

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    dishes done twicw daily, floors swept every other day, mop once a week and vacuum twice a week

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    whoever gets out of bed last makes it every day

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?

    we have a hamper but for some reason all the laundry ends up beside the hamper on the bathroom floor....until a day off.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    i do the laundry in groups like a load of all underwear, all t shirts, all hangy stuff...so that way it's is easier to fold or hang and just put away strait out of the dryer.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    I do not iron! Goes in the dryer cycle or to the cleaners or HE irons, I NEVER iron! That would end in disaster.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    I cook every workday night for dinner and on the weekends I make lunch.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    yes

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    i think i am good in between

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?

    i know where everything is

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    my home for sure

    anything else?

    Really neat, or really messy. It comes and goes. Since I had the kids though even when I'm being messy it's not too bad.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    Every day or two, but I only mop twice a week.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    Neither, unless I'm pregnant, then I do.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    Laundry basket in the laundry room, my hubby throws it on the floor or dressser.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away? Gets put away.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes? Rarely, I usually take his suits to the cleaner so I don't have to deal with it.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    I cook 5 days a week (all meals), we eat out on the weekends.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    Not really, but I fake it well.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    Neater, much, much neater!

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    I'm constantly looking for something, the hubby loses everything. He once accidentally took our HOME phone to work with him.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    Car.

    anything else?
    Sometimes I wish there weren't toys scattered all over the floor until 8pm every night.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?

    Im OCD about certain things but my house will get a little cluttered and I pick it up daily.

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    Dishes go into the washer after used. I never sweep and I think my kitchen was mopped once, by my mom while she lived here...

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    Everyday.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    Goes into a hamper. I cant stand clothes on the floor..

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    Put away

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    I never have to iron because I hang everything up as soon as it comes out of the dryer.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    About 5 nights a week

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    No. I just do whats gotta be done.

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    I wish I was not so neat sometimes. Messes and too much clutter can cause anxiety so I have to stay on top of it. I wish I could be a little more laid back (especially when it comes to my daughters room)

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    I know where EVERYTHING is. I can find my husbands paycheck from March 2006 in a matter of seconds....

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    The interior of my car is clean. The exterior I dont wash as much because it gets filthy every weekend when I go to Reno.

    anything else?
    If I dont see it then it doesnt have to be clean. For example - everytime I use the oven it smokes because its so dirty but my stovetop is prestine as in I use Windex on it after I clean it down so its shiny..

    Pretty neat

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    I don't like having dishes sit around for more than a day. My floors are swept and mopped every week or two and I vaccum once a month (That may not sound like much but I live alone) or when there is a spill.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    Sometimes. That's never been a priority with me.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    Laundry basket

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    It depends on what it is. Sheets and towels are immediately put away, stuff that goes on hangers is put away... my bummy t-shirts and gym clothes generally live in there. I have no drawer space as it is.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    Pretty much never. I don't usually wear clothes that need it.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    I generally cook all of my food. However, since I live alone, I can cook a meal and live off of it for days, lol.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    Yea

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    Neater

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    I generally know where everything is.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    I guess generally my car

    anything else?
    I actually enjoy cleaning. It makes me feel productive. However, there are certain chores that I like more. Like, cleaning the kitchen trumps cleaning my desk. Any given day, my kitchen will shine and my bedroom will have clothing strewn everywhere. I guess you could say that I'm "selectively neat".
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    How neat are you?
    I have mild OCD, so everything is organized. I clean everything daily

    How often are your dishes done, floors swept, mopped and vacumed?
    I do my dishes as I dirty them. My floors and furniture (couches) are swept daily. I mop once a week. I have hardwood floors so I polish the wood weekly.

    Do you or your SO make your bed?
    I make it as soon as I get up. My children have the same rules and abide by them.

    What do you do with your dirty laundry?
    Considering I have to go to the laundry mat, I take it once a week. Sundays. But everyone has it sorted in their bathrooms.

    What about the clean laundry? Does it live in the basket, or is it put away?
    Um put away as soon as I bring it home.

    How often do you iron your clothes or SO's clothes?
    Never.

    Do you cook? How many meals a week?
    Never lol. Everyone is on such different schedules that meals are only prepared on major holidays.

    Would you call yourself domestic?
    Yes very. Other than the cooking thing, which is a time factor

    Do you wish you were neater or not so neat?
    I wish I wasn't as neat. I'm narotic and get pissy when people slightly dirty things.

    Do you constantly look for things, or do you know where anything is?
    I know where everything is, aside from my keys which I always tend to lose.

    Is your car cleaner, or your home?
    Home. My car isn't dirty it just needs detailed.

    anything else?
    I bleach my tub, toilet and sink daily. I can't handle dust or dirt in my bathroom. Anywhere.
    as damp as a cellar. . . all mildewy I'm as damp as a cellar. . . all mildewy
