Hi Jannie, you said yourself "it's not" so try to back off a bit and rewind. Your house is where you live your life and that means that you need things around you. If you obsess then you will always see something that needs to be done, dusting, hoovering, bits to pick up, fluff, dust, marks, stains.... you know yourself that it's just not realistic to have perfection and your home never ever will be perfect. Who wants a perfect home? You don't want a 'Howard Hughes' type life, do you? ...
