Just thought I'd share this with you!!

I have been running around the house tidying, polishing (hiding junk) as we have an estate agent coming to value the house, so we can send it off to Melanie for information needed. Telling the kids to levitate and not sit down, keep off the toilet as clean and out of the bathroom in general

I've just slapped myself, we aren't selling the house so who am I trying to impress!!!!

You'd think the Queen was coming for tea[:I] I now realise that I have finally hit my midlife crisis (40 in August)....

At least Monica is better than Margo (as in the Good Life!) as Dave calls me!

My other half calls me Monica ! He also reckons i have OCD ! I can't help if everything has a place.Sometimes he does something that he knows i won't be able to resist adjusting,then i catch him watching me to see how long it will take before i do it!!This earns him a little punch for being a smart-a**!!
The weirdest thing i do is if i throw away mouldy grapes i have to throw them away in an even number [:I]
I've just realised how weird that sounds perhaps i'd better go lay down!!!
Any one else have any "weird" things(please say you do!)x

I won't go to sleep if the numbers on the digital clock add up to 13, or one of the numbers is 13 or if the wardrobe doors are even slightly open (Dave says it's because I think the wardrobe monsters will get me!) and I salute magpies

I'm the same with magpies, they haunt me. Other than that I am always mowing the lawn in summer dont like grass looking scruffy. Hubby moves all the stuff in the dishwasher around insists on cups being here and glasses go there, I dont care as long as i dont have to wash up and they are clean.

loan agreements, balances, mortgage statements and house valuation etc..

Speaking of OCD. Our friends often used to come around and mix my cds and dvds up, just to see my reaction!!! You sit there ignoring it until the monster from within takes over like a demon. I also don't do odd no's. isn't human nature a funny thing!!![:I]

Well the valuer has now been so everybody AT EASE!!!

Dont have real OCD, but do insist that all the stuff in the cupboards and fridge have the labels facing forward!!

I did a trade show with work a few weeks ago and have never thought of OCD before, only watched a few programmes on telly and seen a few articles.
By the end of the week everyone was saying I have OCD. One girl came into my hotel room and used he bathroom and commented that all my bottles were lined up - 'I know I said they are lined up in the order I use them' (eg shower gel, body lotion, face moisturiser, etc) she thought this was hillarious - me I think this is logical as it saves me time hunting for things.[;)]
Also all our catalogues and products are arranged (by me!!!) and I get annoyed if anyone moves then as it messes up my visual display[:0]
Maybe I do have mild OCD but my word for it is organisation!!!!!

LOL[:)]
