    Jeeps, 4 hours packing this morning and I swear the house looks in more of a mess than when we started. Thanks for the number boxes tip- very helpful. not sure I'd fabcy moving again after this!
    The pile for the car boot is steadily growing. I was hoping I might be able to pop out for a bit for some much needed cheese, but looks like I'll be attempting more sorting out. Thanks for testing it out.

    Very interesting to hear about your friends' and families' reactions to your 'hobby'. It's funny isn't it how folk mock and take the mick but will happily tuck in to the benefits isn't it?

    Right... Boxes are beckoning...

    Good choice of topics*. He is deeply interested in every topic in existence, they just rotate in periods and last for however long till he completes his knowledge/gets bored with the topic (a lot lot later:) than nearly all people) and moves onto a new one. He has a thirst for learning. It's merely that the vast majority of people don't have the staying power to remain interested - that's not his problem - and if I'm "arrogant" in (nearly) always being right - and totally unaware of how others might have been perceiving me as being arrogant - truly folks!:) - that's because I am right, most of the time, and most people oughtn't be as "arrogant" as they are in thinking the choice of subjects rests with them! It doesn't. Wake up and smell the coffee:D. Ooo- that was a bit harsh. Out of character a bit for me:rotfl:- I'll go and sit back in my box now:):), in a safe secluded place away from contact with other human beings and back in bliss once more!:D:D:j (I don't really mean it, not to the great level of extent it may seem - I do mean it but not to that extent.:) If that makes sense:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:+.)

    *But then any choice of topics would be a good one for me.
    +If it doesn't, then 'fraid your interest isn't up to it a bit, and it all makes complete sense to me:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D.

    :D:)
    Well I am just grateful that the topics are (sometimes) becoming more interesting. I am glad to be moving on from memorising the whole sky TV channel listing, yes all 1000+ channels :o and a long and very boring (for me) obsession with BBC I-dents :rotfl::rotfl: :)

    A few do but only a few ;) because if you told most people you had just bought enough laundry detergent for 5 years they would think you were mad :rotfl:
    But at the end of the day I dont need to buy anymore :cool:and they will be paying 20p-30p per wash :eek: and thinking nothing of it :eek:

    That's because they don't understand the thinking behind it. It is rational (which, let's face it, shopping choices and economic behaviour of the vast majority of people is anything but) and it is all worked out, with proper comparison based on prices and knowledge of previous offers, which people 'haven't the time for'/just too deep/boring for them, they have a life ((...we also have a life but it's a different one and we choose what to focus on in our lives, thank you very much, don't object to what we choose to do - we have a life it's just different from yours or what you want it to be - ooo... I'm getting a bit ranty - it may seem anyroad. (In fact I am not feeling ranty at all, it's just the way I have written things - and can't be bothered to spend time to formulate them differently and think about how it might come across - too hard to do that and boy do I think deeply, and exhaustingly sometimes, during constant efforts I have to make in RL to do that all the time). So if it seems ranty, it's simply been misunderstood and there's no rant at all, merely no time to formulate it to show the contrary. But loads of time just to write what comes out - it's just much easier. ....And then people also think you are being ironic/facetious and don't really mean what you are saying but mean the opposite. I don't mean the opposite: I'm not saying it humorously. (And then you'll disbelieve that I am not doing humour, and thus saying that I am. Please be clear: I am not.)
    Not on this post here.

    Oh, I went on!!:D Back to the point..they don't understanding the thinking underneath it all, a thinking that is doing it in a totally rational way... and, if you try to explain the thinking to them, they don't find it interesting, indeed it just bores them (their problem!:D) and they attribute you as having a deep narrow special interest in the matter (suggesting you are being 'narrow-minded', when in fact it is their narrow-mindedness in their failure to understand, or be interested) - I am very often frustrated at how people will thus never understand, because they are not interested to do so, and how as a result I can never explain to them (without being considered boring and thus unsociable) and thus I am constantly faced with misunderstanding, missing the point, total lack of any basis to their own views, that I am unable to put right because they are unwilling to find interest or will react in a way that sidelines whatever I am trying to say (or would be saying but can't even bother to because I would be sidelined if I tried to do so. So I don't bother. Their loss. But - also - my frustration at times too:(!)

    Oh well. Applies to RL and not to the people on here. Which probably is why I'm on this thread.:D

    Don't worry - all being said in absolute calmness, normal way of saying and not in frustration.

    Again, I really mean it. Imagine someone just reading it, at normal pace, from a book. It isn't rushed and it's not frustrated. Even if it seems otherwise from the words used.

    It seems to make no difference as I had a shop last saturday night and repeated sunday lunchtime both entered at teatime sunday. The saturday glitched sunday didnt, so as previously mentioned when you do the shop the comparison is locked in
