Don't worry, my house looks lived-in too.
And from my cleaner - I like coming to your house because I can really make a difference

I've got a friend who refuses to let me in her apartment. "I can't let you in. I've seen your place."
Well, okay, it's a compliment that she thinks I'm really neat and well-organized. But it also implies that she thinks I'd be a snob about judging her place!

My next door neighbor told his wife that maybe she could hire me to help her clean since my house is always clean. She was so embarrassed and I felt so bad for her!

"Gee, you look great! Have you lost weight?"

Well, chacha, I've also heard, "You look horrible! Are you feeling okay?" on days I've felt fine - not sure which is worse!

The bathing suit comment from above was from my wonderful husband. Gotta love him, or knock him upside the head. haha

"You could put a few knickknacks around to give the room some personality"

ROTFLMAO @ Jackthetiger! Maybe you should tell her you prefer your rooms with strong, silent personalities!

"I didn't recognize you. You've lost a lot of weight."
(I'd like to think there was a compliment in there somewhere.)

From my mil, we were speaking about my daughter's PMS, when she said to me, "Yeah, you're a lot less bitchy than you used to be."

@Charity, re 'I like coming to your house because I can really make a difference' -
My friend Hilary (who is a professional cleaner) is now coming to our house two days a week for a couple of hours each time, to help with cleaning and decluttering. After one of her early visits, during which we sorted out the main entrance space, I said "That looks really nice, I've wanted to sort that out for months". She responded "Yes, it looks lovely now it's clean. Months? I've wanted to do that ever since I came round while you were away that time [18 months ago] to feed the cats..."

While eating my lasagna which many have said is the best they've ever had (even better than their Italian mom's): "This is really good . . . [I mean to emphasis that the] garlic bread is so good."
