ive just realised another quirky habit i have, but didnt think about it until now.
on every shelf or window sill, i have 2 of everything as i dont like odd things. so matching candles on mantlepiece, same at ends of telly. in window sil matching pictures with same coloured frames of my 2 children. either side of open fire black candle stick holders complete with matching candles. oh and in my bedroom on dressing table i have matching ceramic pigs on each end.
never really noticed how much symetry there is in this house, everything in 2s or 4s. strange as i live at no 4, born on the 4th and there are4 people living here.

what does this really say about me, maybe i am well balanced( a bit unbalanced maybe lol)

Files Uzzi under the-
"seems stable at the moment but make sure she takes all the medication"

Thankyou Jean/georgygirl

>>>>>> goes off happy to straighten the settee throws and rugs>>>>>>

Oh gawd-the things i have to do to keep you happy...........
Just popped in the bedroom to get me sackcloth and ashes, on my knees now-
RIGHT HERE GOES-
NO Uzzi thats not quirky at all, just natural, means your growing up and its one of those little quirks everyone does. so dont worry about it, its quite normal.

That ok????? lol

I have to hang the washing out (we've got a 3-sided rotary line) from right to left. The large stuff at the back, undies etc in the front. Also I don't put 2 pegs of the same colour next to each other!! Dry towels have to be folded in a certain way. LOL, this the only thing I'm 'obsessive' about, honest!

Georgygirl you were meant to write it with convictions of feelings ....


as I straighten the edges of my towel .....

Ok then-
No Uzzi thats not quirky at all etc..................."tsk"

Jean I'll meet you there

'at the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time'


Have to say I was hoping for NO Uzzi that's not quirky at all just natural it means your growing up etc etc.

pmsl

Mines the ironing-cant just get it out the basket, one by one, i sort it out first,
tops-best-working-old ones, i iron them in that order and put them away
Next trousers/skirts/blouses- same way, straight into wardrobe.
Bedding etc i do last.

"They're coming to take me away ha ha, they're coming to take me away"..........................lol
Jean

well not in my washing anyway >>>>>>>>




>>>>>>>lol

Florence I don't have that problem I do 2 washes all black ...lots off

then colours very few. but bless I am saved I don't colour co-ordinate.

now dont laugh, but when i hang out my washing, it is all colour coded. all the whites in a line, then all pinks, blues and blacks.anything else at the end of line.

i also iron everything even socks and tights.my firends think im sad, but i hate creased clothes. i use the word quirky quite often to describe anything a bit unusual or off the beaten track.(sounds a bit like me lol)!!!!

pmsl just noticed with brow mop, elbow protector I also have to have the edges neatly aligned ........HHHHHHeeeeeeelllllllppppppppppppp

lol

help I hadn't thought about that but yes I hang washing out all tea towels etc together ..I don't do towels as they are heavy and they go at the ends of the washing line., but I do hang all work shirts together (easier to collect in)

Ginnie I don't think we need help I think we are beyond it. ! lol

Joan I am glad we are not alone with the folding.

'Quirky' is that actually a word?

I have discovered a habit I have, which having realised it is annoying.

I have a teatowel that is towelling and I fold it on the table and rest my elbows on it. I also use it to mop sweaty brow etc.

I have found myself folding this towel exact in half and then in thirds. all corners must meet. I do occasionally fold it a different way but all corners meet.

Having twigged this I realise that I also fold the dog blankets in half and in 3rds. and when they scrunch them up, I will get up and re-fold them. I also fold sheets in half in half etc and then in 3rds, same with towels. If OH folds them differently I wait until he isn't looking and alter them.

When did this happen ? *shocked*
is it just me or do we all get quirky habits?
