    I'm sure there are quite a few on here with some degree of OCD - I'm sure mine is getting worse, all my stashes have to be lined up, date order, and facing the same way :rotfl:

    My mum thinks I'm nuts when it comes to my stash. While I was in hospital she went rummaging through it for shower gel, deo and toothpaste. DS had to warn her about putting things back neatly and where she found them. I have one of those plastic trolley type things with see through drawers in the bathroom to hold most of these items, top drawer has lynx, next has my deo and toothpaste, next sanex bath stuff and DSes deo bottom is misc, mostly mini john frieda and toothbrushes. All are neatly lined up and easy to find what you need just by looking from the outside. When I got home she'd messed this up, my cupboard under the kitchen sink had all the bottles on their side and my spray cleaners all mixed up because she couldn't find what she needed. The worst had to be she took my cushelle loo roll instead of the nouvelle, now that annoyed me :rotfl:
    It took me a week to get everything back to the way I had it and I felt very agitated about it until I'd done it all.
    You'd think after all that I'd be a neat freak, everything else can be a mess just so long as those stay tidy :o

    :T:T:T brilliant SD. I find that paying things up front makes a massive difference.....no monthly payments means your money is your own.

    you are doing brilliantly :) what we all want now are some photos of the adoreable beast :D how is he?

    The beast is now living with a lovely lady who worked in the kennels we'd managed to get him into when I'd gone into hospital. He wasn't coping well with kennel life :(, she felt sorry for him and offered to look after him at home with her boxer to ease his anxiety. Both dogs got on well and are now inseparable, lady knew I'd been looking a new home for him (my mum had told them) and asked could she keep him. I miss him like crazy eventhough he was hard work but I'm happy in the knowledge that he's having a blast and getting everything he needs, everything I couldn't.

    Aww you must miss him. It's great he's found a happy home though and that must make you feel a bit better about it.

    Morning Folks,

    I have dropped DH at work and come straight home to tackle the mess :eek: (Really wanted to stop at Mr T to get more cat food, but it can wait!). I have been on a mission to declutter for Lent. (Don't see the point of giving up choc, but giving a bit of time every day to tackling the 'Tut' in draws and cupboards has been a positive experience!).

    However, it has generated lots of stuff to Ebay and, amazingly enough, has encouraged my DH and DS's to empty their wardrobes and draws too. Now I have rows of black bin bags to sort for sale, donation or bin!

    Also, need to post a few items which sold over the weekend, but dog seems to have chewed the parcel tape :mad: so may need a trip to Mr T later.

    Have a good day :)
