When it comes to my own personal area it's messy, but I try to keep it reasonabl-ish in combined living areas.
Yeah I'm not a neat freak - I think I'm similar to you actually.

The kitchen and food mess I'm a neat freak with but i tend to accumulate study materials and clutter that is not unhygeinic or smelly.

I always try to keep it to my own room or space as much as possible though and it is an effort.

I think the fact i make that effort with a flatmate is why i hate having an overly grotty flatmate who will leave food mess lying around irritates me so much.

I'm careful to be considerate and i think it's not unfair to expect it to be returned.

In general i think having flatmates has probably been good for me because i'm beginning to become a clean person even though it's not natural for me and i'd probably be lost in a pile of clothes and loose sheets of paper permanently if i'd only lived alone.
