    ok ladies i need your advice on this as i have just been laughed at mercilessly by the live in landlord and need to know if i am indeed abnormal. when i hang my washing on the line every item has to have exactly the same colour peg on it. even different shades or shapes of the same colour cant be used. It sends me into a right spin and i feel really jittery until i've sorted it!!!!! :D just now i couldn't find a blue peg the same shape and size of the other 2 i'd used on my jacket so took the other two off and replaced them with matching yellow. I'm not kidding here honestly. Stuart was in peels of laughter and called me OCD! :( I was like it as a child too and is the only hang up i have. :eek: i also got laughed at as there is no way i will ever hang my smalls on the line but put the tumble drier on for them instead. there is no way i want the neighbours seeing what kind of party bags i wear!!! :eek: :eek:!!!! DOes anyone else do the same or am i truly bonkers??? HELP!!!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hi pania,
    I don't think you're bonkers. I do a similar thing although I don't go as far as the same colour peg, but I have to hang my washing out in a certain order. All the trousers have to be together first, then I do the shirts/blouses etc and goes down to the pants and socks, and nothing is allowed to be out of place. Even if I have to hang another washing out and the first one isn't dry, everthing needs to be moved around. So if you're bonkers, so am I :eek::D
    Too much month, not enough Cash!

    No hair is the same probably just the light
    As for the peg's Pania...*hides under sofa* I do think that is sligtly OCD, for me its get it on the line as quick as possible before I move onto the next task on the mounting list..don't have time to worry about what colour peg is on the washing. If its the only thing that you are slightly obsessive about then don't worry about it, we all have our "thing"
