    But tins in order is normal :confused:

    Mine all face the front, and are in rows in the right order...tomatoes on the right, followed by beans, spaghetti/pasta, pulses, vegetables, soups, fish, fruit...

    ...whenever I think about this I always do the cupboard from right to left...that may be a little wierd :o

    Hubby very quickly learned that packing shopping into bags and putting it away at home is something that he just shouldn't get involved in ;) although he loves the fact that everything is where it should be :D


    Edit - scruffy - folding towels the right way is normal too...isn't it?? Same as folding Benjamins clothes the right way...

    ...oh my lord!! Is all this anal stuff I do labelled as autism??
    nah thst's OCD but its commonly a part of autism
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Maybe that's her 'thing' - she might be a computer [STRIKE]geek[/STRIKE] whizz aged 9 months ;):D

    cheers for that :D:p

    honestly, i think half of her problem is tha tshe things she is older that what she is.

    she can be sitting on the lap and she bounces herself trying to get off in the direction of where, or to whom she wants to go. very rarely does she sit on anyones' knee facing them because she will always left herself up to stand.

    I only get a whopping £10 a week from tax credits, I think it's almost worth not claiming for that, as you have to report to them the SLIGHTEST thing, oh sorry, I forgot to tell you I farted at 2:08pm on the 15/07/09 - THATS IT, FRAUDULENT CLAIM!

    Do you really get 25% reduction? That's great, would save me £30 a month! I don't think I'd get £400 a month, would be nice though :o is it not based on how many children you have also? What's the hardship fund? Do I say I can't pay me rent or something? LoL.

    See I thought I wouldn't get a bursery because I don't get WTC, I did last year of the massive sum of £2.05 a week. Rolling in it I was :p

    Either way you apply. You have to anyway to get your fee's paid. But I got a lovely surprise when I got my award! Hardship fund is a strange one, apparently as soon as you are a student you are in hardship. I just put down that I was losing out on my carers allowance and had to pay extra money out on meals while at college. Then bang, two awards of £150 :D Jammy!

    surely its not weird? just organised - i do it too!

    My mum worked for a woman with OCD and so now has to have tea towels folded in a certain way, apparently you can fit more on the shelf. The plastic tubs have to be stacked so they are all the same height, tins facing the correct way and tea cups stacked with the handles to the left hand side. Oh yeah, and napkins folded and wrapped round cutlery a certain way also.

    It's said we all have a slight autism about us mine is my towels, they have to be folded a certain way and put away in the cupboard properly
    But tins in order is normal :confused:

    Lol! :rotfl: I love that we're all weird! :rotfl:

    My towels are also folded in a certain way, and the ones on the towel rail are hanging in a certain way - OH likens me to the bloke in Sleeping with the Enemy!

    OH knows not to bother to help putting the shopping away - he'd just wind me up.

    Also, there is my ironing of tea towels, undies, socks, knickers & pyjamas!


    Funny thing is, I am forever arranging DS's collection of toy motorbikes in a neat row on a shelf in his bedroom...........but DS has his own special order for the motorbikes and goes and rearranges them 5 minutes after i've done it. This could keep us amused for hours! :eek:
