OCD is a good thing. Really.

We saw seven rental properties yesterday. And I know that they're rental properties and that therefore the tenants simply don't give a toss about making them look decent for the likes of us who are looking round, but still. Some of them were SO untidy! I had to restrain myself from picking up bits of paper, dusting the shelves, and folding up the clothes strewn on the floor. Thank goodness most of the places were empty, thus giving me the chance to breathe out and relax after the more stressful viewings.

Not that it had any impact on our decision; we rented one of the more untidy properties. Location -- i.e., just around the corner from a tuck shop, a cinema, and a couple of truly excellent pubs -- is far more important than current state. And when we move in, it won't be untidy for long.
