At home though, because I serially wash my hands at work, they suffer, and they are so dry and sore....hands that do dishes aren't as soft as my face! They itch with dermatitis/excema and I make them bleed on occasion, so you can see my point over not washing them all the time.

My dog stinks, I give him a bath regular, I stroke him, brush him, and he lays all over my floor, but a bit of dog stink and much ain't going to harm, just like the odd cat hair.

Pete on the other hand is OCD, its rediculous, in fact it makes me feel paranoid my house is mucky. BUT, the allergies he has, has calmed down over the time hes lived here, so I am actually doing him a favour.
I am very rarely ill, its all because I pick my nose, after I've stroked the stinky dog!

Dizz you're such a lady, so elegant and cultured, muhahaha.

My BIL & kids are constantly ill with colds, probably down to his use of germ killing sprays & OCD.

We don't use them in our house and I'm not often ill, although bizzarly I've woken up with a sore throat & runny nose. Is it the end for me

My house is tidy but not particularly clean, i have dogs, cats and 4 kids, none of us get ill the odd runny nose and cough is about it, in the last 5 years i have had flu really bad once and thats it.

Completely agree OCD disinfected ppl get ill way more often

However, be rest assured, after picking my nose, I will ensure my hands are washed before baking you a cake or cooking......won't stop me lickin my fingers tho

IMO, theres more and more serious strains of bugs, because theres a stupid amount of hygiene control these days.....back in my day, of being a kid, we'd play in fields, climb trees, eat our tea without washing hands, with fingernails full of mud from playing out all day. We didn't have anti bacterial sprays for everything from the kitchen to the bog...and the boys used to throw worms in girls hair.

We need more muck around the place!!

Sounds like a guy I used to work with OCD clean wasn't the words.

I had been sat at his desk for 4 days (the office was hotdesk'ed due to the nature of the job). Phone hadn't stopped in 5 days. First thing he did alcohol cleaning wipes over the phone, desk and keyboard then proceeded to spend 2 hours cleaning the office while the phone never stopped ringing.

Surprise Surprise he and the missus were always ill.

i'm am the messiest most untidy and lazy person on the org. my house is a sh!thole but its not the kind of sh!thole that has thing growing out the sink its just not a nice and pretty with lovely decorating kind of house, for this reason no one gets to visit coz its embarising. my wife kids and i never get the cold or nowt that is going around. unlike my mother who is OCD and washes, cleans enything that stands still long enough and guess what she is always ill.

long live the messy people

Same as, I don't like folk visiting either.
Its cleaned and tidied every day, baby rolls around on a clean floor, and you sit on a clean sofa, the washing up is done, the bog is clean....its just not a sparkly house that Lloyd Grossman could have a gander in!
Its a lived in house, its small and overcrowded, with kids shoes to fall over, toys or dogs for that matter.
When folk come to visit who haven't been before I panic, but then when its cleaned for the millionth time it looks no different than before!

Any way, I have just eaten Spanish cherry tomatoes, and they're rather nice, and not a tummy ache in sight

Dirt is good for you, no doubt about it. Anyway, if you get your veg from the local farm shop, it isn't mass produced, foreign, bland, ecoli ridden cr@p so you can eat it safely. And Dizzy, what are you doing eating Spanish tomatoes? English tomatoes are just as yummy.
