Do you dare…?

Enter the world of the Real Reveal? After My Friend’s brave post last week of her living room scattered with toys, I decided the time had come to show what you can’t see when I post a nice close up of the mantlepiece – what my houses really looks like after a crazy week of working late and house guests and erm… me living in it. Prepare to be repelled.

Messy living room

My living room. Note grandma-knitted blanket (great for sitting under when it’s cold), blogging equipment, and can of Mr Sheen, left on the sideboard since the last time I tidied up.

untidy kitchen

Yes that’s two cereal bowls on the table. There are a number of different interpretations of that fact you could make – pick whichever scandalizes you least.

Untidy bedroom

Still can’t quite decide which wall to put that mirror on. And note the missing strip of wallpaper to the left of the door – been waiting for me to see to that since July. The good news is that all through yesterday’s perfect sunny Sunday I cleaned up. But pictures of the sparkling tidy version would go against the whole Real reveal ethos.

    I think the beautiful cat’s face says it all! Don’t worry, darling the cats protection league have been notified and if standards don’t improve just pick up that phone and give them a meow.
