strange habits in general


following on from the food/drink habits, do you have any other strange habits

* When making the bed I have to make sure the tag on the duvet is in the bottom right hand corner before putting the cover on (i have been known to remake a bed if future hubby as make it and the tag isn't in that corner!)

* I can't start a new book the same day i finish one i was already reading, i have to wait until the next day

* the cutlery on the stand has to be put on in certain places, it drove me nuts over christmas when visitors washed up and put them back in a different order, I would sneak in to make a cuppa tea just so I could reorganise them!

* The cups on the cup stand have to be in a certain order, again I change if put back in a different order!

* underwear has to be folded a certain way, if future hubby puts it away I end up going to check it is my way and if not i empty it all out and start again

* I hate odd numbers, I always have to have things in even numbers (strange since my lucky number is 21!), this extends to the volume of the TV, if future hubby stops it on a odd number I have to move it either 1 up or 1 down so it is a even number otherwise i just sit there thinking about it and it drives me nuts

Ok, i'll stop there for now as I could be here all day, I didn't realise I was so 'monica from friends' until now

Lol. They are pretty cool habits.

*If someone puts clothes on the top of the dresser instead of in the draws I get really annoyed and make sure they either put it on the bed to put away later or in the draws.

*All of the mugs in my kitchen have to be white. If someone gives me a mug that isn't white, I wont use it (I don't tell them that) because it isn't the same colour as the rest.

*^Same with tea towels but instead of white, they have to not have any patterns on them.

*I always run up stairs. I hate walking up stairs not matter how tired I am.

All my dvds and videos have to be in alphabetical order
All my cups have to be put away with the handles pointing to the right
My washing has to be hung out a certain way to, in size order.
I will only wear black socks

I have loads more, but really silly ones. I have OCD so everything has its place

I have to do this, too!! DH was laughing away at me earlier, as I couldn't get it to stop on 24!!

I have to check the door is locked three times before going out...

I have to wash my hands after being out for a full rendition of Happy Birthday - twice

I have to put our books in category and height order...I spotted a rogue book about Stalins Russia in amongst Delia yesterday, and I couldn't relax until it was sorted!

Oh dear!!

i write lists, lots of them..... even lists of what lists i have to make!! I HAVE to be organized and know what i'm doing and when for each day, everything has to b done in a specific order. Like Olivers' clothes are put on in the same order every day!! Nappy, vest, socks, jeans then top!!! Silly things like that!
Also the numbers things, it drives me bonkers!!!!

* I have to take my watch off before going to the loo.(Even when out & about)
* I have to sleep with the duvet covering my ear and it has to be the right way round. If the button end is at the top I can't sleep.
* I also check the door is locked 3 times.
* I cannot walk upstairs at night without a light on. Only going up, not bothered about coming down.
* I read the first chapter or so of a book & then the last one, then the rest of the book.

I'm a bit strange I think...

All labels in my cupboards have to face outwards.

My DVDs are all alphabetized and in sections according to genre. All 500 of them.

My shower curtain always has to be closed.

Whenever I get something new to try out. For example a movie(we love movies in our household) my house has to be spotless before I can sit down and actually relax enough to enjoy it. Otherwise I'm distracted by random things that need done.

I can't STAND crumbs on the coffee table. Even a speck of dust and I can't just leave it. I'm always yelling at my DH to wipe it off.
