Can you just pick each individual item up, clean underneath it and then put it back in the same place? I know it will take longer but I'm just thinking you might find it easier while you're taking baby steps!

Doesn't everybody do that anyway???

I have 3 lengths of work surface I start at one side (next to the fridge) and work my way along wiping and replacing (in the same order/place every time) the toaster, the microwave, the SC, the egg chicken, the kettle... by which time I am bored and leave the third length lol.. that isn't OCD, that is going over the same area once instead of putting clean things on dirty surfaces or dirty things on clean surfaces.. It makes sense..doesn't it?.. Anything other than those things on the surface is put away or swept on to the floor to be dealt with next.

When I do the units I start the opposite end (nr the door) and work my way round to the fridge.. then work my way back along the kick boards.. every time.. I once tried doing it the other way round and almost had a breakdown..

Please don't tell me I have OCD and well as my other ASD's... I just need an MA and a PhD and I'll be sorted!

Just in time for a HHC - I'll join you Jules.

Welcome new people, great to have you join us, and casleigh you're doing great! :T

I'm so hacked off with teenie - what part of ' stay in until my parcel gets delivered' doesn't he understand :rolleyes: he went out and then it was delivered !!!!!!....he's so in all day tomorrow, he's cleaned the benches though so actually the kitchen looks spotless, buuuuuuuuuut I'll do the list anyway it'll only take 5 mins.

Need to make a shopping list for Asda cause I'm meeting DD1 there at 6, I also need to finish watching WDYTYA from last week on iplayer before tonights ep. littley is purchasing HSM 3 from Asda with some birthday money she got so she'll be quiete tonight can't say the same for the hamster who lives on her wheel just to annoy me - lmao she's lovely really.

Need to find today's list then it's all systems go..

ETA: kickboards: My OH goes loopy if I use american words, they're PLINTHS he tells me PLINTHS - he's right though....but kickboards is better....

ETA again: I lift and wipe too

ETA: double again: pigpen, I systematically clean mine and my customers the same way every week, mine's from left to right on the benches finishing at the sink and left to right on the cupboards, plinths are last cause I do those when I'm scrubbing the floor.

Casleigh - you're doing fab! You'll me as mad as us before you know it...not sure if that's a good thing or not!!

Frodders - that's a classic about the cow! We were all wondering!

Pigpoo - I'm surprised you don't already have a pig, a cow and a goat in your backgarden!!!

Another 60 in 60 for me and then time to make dinner. We've had a lovely relaxed day. Hugs to all xx
