She's been threatening to do it for some time

I'm the opposite. Can't be doing with reorganising unless absolutely essential.

In fact, I've built the bloke a small office and left it to him to sort out. He laughed and said,if I wasn't more careful about the things I say, I'll find he's put shelves up and scattered things like skeleton hands about.

I pointed to the mummy hand, Indiana Jones hat, vampire pumpkin, zombie poster and freezer labelled cryogenic storage facility, shrugged and said ' knock yourself out '.

I am an awesome girlfriend.

Well, I do like everything organised to MY convenience. the tea, sugar and coffee are in the cupboard ABOVE the kettle, the mugs are on a tree right next to it and the teapot and cafetiere are next to kettle too! People say I am SOOOOO well organised in my kitchen - but, actually, I am just lazy! I don't have to move a foot - everything is within arms reach.
and yes, the bread is stored next to the toaster!
don't worry hun, you will get used to it! just don't MOVE anything!

My OH and I do not live together. (But we hook up regularly, secret to a great relationship!) I live in the city, he in the country.

He is a diamond really, and cleans my house, how nice is that. But.....
I can never find anything after the cleaning is done!

Nothing is put back where it should be, nothing.

But that's a small price to pay for a gleaming house, since I am sloblady personified.

Needless to say that when I am in the country house, I just admire the view.

Ha! I moved house while Mr Spouse was working abroad. He may never find anything every again.

Well to be fair she has been threatening for a while so you've had plenty of warning that she was sizing the place up for her own. So why would you complain about turning into a Kept Toad?! Sit back and let her sort you out!!

Well I'm not sure that I needed sorting out, everything was ticking along nicely but she couldn't get her head round the filing system.

That said I'm fairly adaptable and will soon get used to things being where logic dictates they should be.

I kept myself out of the way this afternoon, the sun was shining so I went down the garden and played with the chain saw, I now have plenty of logs cut for the fire. :T

She has now departed for home and I shan't see her until the end of next week, she works and I'm a man of leisure having taken early retirement.

Just been in the bathroom, she's got rid of my collection of not quite empty stuff from the cabinet and replaced it with girl type stuff and there's a squeegee in the shower, presumably so I can play window cleaner.

I shall try it out in the morning.

Mr Toad has my heartfelt sympathy. I work on the principle that I know where things are and prefer them to be left where they are for when I need them. Wife works on the strange principle that there is a proper place for everything and everything should be in its proper place.:(

Sometimes I think I married a womble.:o

Well, the girlfriend decided to stay at Toad Hall for the weekend and I am currently banished to the study.

She jumped out of bed yesterday morning and set to sorting me out :eek:..........................................it's like living in a hotel or something.

Are you weeping in gratitude?
