Mess and Cleaning

Hello and welcome to our conversation about mess. We are talking about when something is untidy. I left my house in a bit of a mess this morning. My kitchen is a mess because I did not have time to clean it.

We also talked about being a messy person. I like things to be clean, but sometimes I leave a bit of a mess. I try to sort out the mess as soon as I can. We have a dishwasher to help with the washing up. I do not like washing up because it is my least favourite job. But I make it more enjoyable by listening to music and trying to finish before the song ends.

I also have a to-do list with jobs I need to do, like hoovering. I try to keep my room tidy by cleaning it every few days. It is satisfying to have a clean and tidy space to relax in. We hope you enjoyed our conversation about mess and cleaning.
