Kim and Aggie have harsh words for Rosy Lovelady, who has not cleaned her flat for 24 years, preferring to spend her days completing crossword puzzles. Originally aired on 12th May 2004.
Rose reminds me of my Grandma she liked reading and doing crosswords though she did not clean because she was in a wheelchair, now she had a cleaner but on the other hand she had always been rather untidy.
Bless this beautiful lady. She's obviously super intelligent and clean in herself. She needs help. I know EXACTLY how it feels to be overwhelmed by things. Xxx
She's such a sweet woman and very honest! Hopefully, someone gave her a magazine with some tips in it on how to keep your home. She told them she didn't know how-she also didn't know WHEN to do things. Bless her-I hope it got easier for her.
The musty smell is not only from the dirt but from a high humidity air., it makes dirt sort of greasy. A house with low levels of humidity would have dust that is lighter if I can say that. Cleaning is a must but maintaining a normal level of humidity is necessary to keep the level of spores low and inactive. She needs a dehumidifier, since the books retain a lot of humidity as well. The stairwell to her flat should be painted, but they didn't do that in the show. This lady is hopeless. One of my friend is like that, I helped her over the years but she can never keep up, her place is cluttered to the brim, no area to sit on, the chairs are piled up, and trails to move from one room to another. She is still a friend but I am not involving myself in her mess.
I had a best friend for 34 years and I helped her no end of times - she was a shopaholic with mental health issues and hated cleaning. No matter how many times I helped her, within days it would be back to a filthy, cluttered state. I got her some counselling to deal with her issues but she would give up after a few sessions and wouldn't face what was really bothered her. She'd surround herself with things to feel secure. She will never change. I've moved to another county now so will not see her anymore but I know she will never change. So sad for her.
12:32 - She legitimately has never seen the bottom of that cutlery drainer. Let me tell you guys something about what living an isolated life in a box for 24+ years will do to the mind. I've lived in a box for 8 years and I've even suffered from cognitive and mental decline from being disconnected from the outside world for so long. This can happen to anyone and it leads to habits like this that make most people go "how hasn't she figured that out by now?" It's sad, and no matter to take lightly. I'm only 32. She had to have been twice my age at the time this video was recorded so it's amazing she hasn't lost her diction at this point.
Even though I do not normally wear glasses, if I was working with ammonia (and I would normally never use ammonia unless I really had to) I would wear glasses to protect my eyes, a disposable face mask and gloves to protect my face and hands AND wash my hands thoroughly after use.
No they’re not. Apparently they didn’t get along with each other and didn’t even speak to one another unless they were being filmed in the final year of taping this show. There’s information online if you want to pursue it in more detail.
@@lisakane6708 not often, the did film a further series in 2023 as a 'reunion ' of the two women as they had not spoken to each other off set in almost 22 years - but there were issues with licensing as the production company went into liquidation so unless another company can edit the recording we won't get to see them which is really sad.
People with this level of filth in their homes will not automatically become cleaning freaks merely by having others clean and organize. Intensive therapy is necessary to explore their psyches in my humble opinion.
