I always have to open packets the right way up. If I catch OH with upside down crisp packets, or the very worst, a cereal packet, I get very cross. It's like the universe will implode.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I'm the same. The world will end if packets are opened at the bottom. I like my cupboards to be organised and everything grouped and preferably with labels facing forward. The dishwasher is another OCD issue. I have 2 different types of tea spoon and each has their own compartment in the cutlery holder. All forks have to be grouped, same goes for spoons, knives and baby cutlery. Nothing peeved me more than the ex just throwing the cutlery in as I was the one who had to empty the dishwasher and having it all grouped saves so much time.0 -
When I moved from the Welsh valleys where I had lived for the majority of my life I made a remark to a lady on a local market stall that I often mop up my Sunday dinner gravy with a slice of bread .She looked at me as though I'd put a knife in her heart and asked if I was from South Wales and explained that she hadn't encountered the habit until her daughters boy friend (who's from Port Talbot) did the same at a recent Sunday lunch .
I was under the impression that many folk mopped u gravy with a slice of bread ....maybe she was posh .
Is this a ' Welsh ' thing or do other MSE'rs do similar things .
ps ...I don't like lamb but love mopping up gravy with lamb juices , it's the best .
yes but only off my finest English portmeirion crockery!!:cool:"He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas" Benjamin Franklin

Toilet roll has to face the right way too!!0 -

Question of the day:
How do you hang yours? I remember someone asking on FB ages ago and it was surprising how so many people are fussy about what way around the loo roll has to be. Personally I prefer the paper to come from over the top and hang down the front.0 -
The ex used to mop up gravy & juices with bread but he certainly had no class (good taste in marrying me though!!).
Weird food confessions: cheese dipped in yogurt, soup sandwich - use bread to dip into Scotch Broth then when you're left with just the veg, dump some onto a slice of bread, fold over and scoff before the broth runs out
:eek:Yuck:eek:
But I love Tayto cheese and onion sandwichs with hp brown sauce !!! Yum!!!0 -

Update on FIL is nothing broken!!!, i don't know how - reckon he must be made of jelly or something to fall down the stairs from top to bottom and break nothing!!! but the not so good news is OH has said that his speech isn't right and also dragging his foot when trying to walk rather than lifting it, and also complaining of it feeling as if he has a permanently dead leg. Very badly bruised and obviously shaken up quite badly, apparently they let him go home in the middle of the night and he has spent the night on our sofa as OH couldn't get him up the stairs, also can't stand unaided which means needing help with everything. OH now also really worried as said he can't leave him which means work is out of the question so hes now starting to panic a bit, i know its only day 1 at home and things might improve - hopefully soon, and have told OH to contact the doctors as from what he has said it sounds to me as if he has had a stroke, but OH saying they would have picked up on it in the hospital if he had - but im not so sure. No shopping for me today as it looks like i am going to need every penny i can get my hands on in the next few weeks to cover rent and bills etc. Hope all the rest of you have a great day and get to find loads of goodies xxx
Glad he not broken anything. Hope OH been to hospital with FIL dont want to scare you but those symptons are exactly same as what my mum had couple week ago and she had suffored a small stroke. I hope i am wrong but would advise OH to take FIL hospital0
