Quick recap of HT #57 (couldn’t get through the sheer boredom of the last few HT’s as someone installing a toilet or going to a hardware store is not my idea of fun.) Neither was this.
It’s Mank’s bday. He is dressed like a homeless tramp. Nits looks like a bag lady, and they waddle around London to a museum, both unwashed and with very noticeably oily/greasy hair.
At home, the “teens” living room and the new laundry room are piled high with trash and tat. Most items are from the pound shop. The tat is mostly broken and every time Manks tries to make a case for throwing things away, Nits gets very aggressive and defensive and refuses to part with her hoard. Same old story.
This is a hoarder’s house. Clearly things are not stable. It’s beyond just being untidy. Physical clutter is one thing, it’s the mental clutter. It’s to a point that they can’t throw anything away and their tat owns them, they don’t own their possessions. And sadly, none of the possessions are worth owning as it’s years and years of accumulated rubbish from the local pound shop Nits “bargain” hunts and binge shops at — another “addiction.”
Finally, he mentions that

Toffee “most likely” has yeast infections in both her ears because of the “stench.”

She just ignores him and continues talking about her tidying up, “and this is where the tablecloths will go”—completely ignoring that her dog is sick, because if she ignores it it will “go away.” It’s clear the dog’s are not taken care of properly, and that is an understatement.
