As long as my kitchen and bathroom are spotless I don't mind about some surface clutter ... I think it is those two places that people tend to 'judge' on anyway

I have clothes all over my bedroom ... and work stuff ... and oops there are wine stains on the floor upstairs from our last party lol (we haven't got around to getting a carpet cleaner yet).

But kitchen and bathroom are clean and tidy. That's all that really matters to me personally.
