loading the dishwasher.... OCD or what LOL

[Kaz]

Ah Shell, a girl after my own (untidy little) heart

See my house looks tidy, but open any cupboard or drawer and chaos reigns.........

All the towels and bath mats in the bathroom have to be a matching set of course.

Oh and my knickers drawers..one for whites, one for black, one for sports and one for coloureds.

Ditto my bra drawers.

You've got four drawers for your knickers?????? And your bras???????? In my sock drawer, they are sorted into short and long, but that's about it

Kaz, our friend's hubby is a sweetie really. I don't complain about Mr. Osc not getting stuff right because then he might tell me to do it myself

[Kaz]

Very true

Pegs matching? Only by conicidence. washing facing the same way? Well that depends on where you stand at the clothes line mine is circular shaped.
Now the dishwasher..... I really don't like my new one, it's too fancy and fiddly, and my stuff just doesn't seem to fit right. Ok, so I've only been using it for 2 weeks, but I'm sure I could stack so much more in my last one. I'm very tempted to swap them over, but I think a boch one is a bit flash for a tenant.
Our dishwasher at our Torbay home though was my favourite. We bought it brand new with our things in mind and it all stacked so nicely and cleaned so well. My parents bought the identical model a few months later. Her things ar slight smaller, and sh uses tea cups, and obviously wasn't washing baby bottles etc, so stacked hers so differently, but I still think it was inefficient, and use to try and and alter her ways by tacking It my way. she would always come along about 10 mins later and you could hear her restacking. but this is the lady who you don't touch her curtains, as none if us cant get them to hang right....


As for my drawers, one for socks, and one for everything else. towels have to hang in he bathroom matching, but I've out up with unatching sets for 12 years as the ones we got for our wedding were still in good nick. I now have a linen cupboard for sheets, arranged one bed per shelf, another for bath towels, flannels etc, a third for 'dirty' towels (ie for DIY), and a fourth for the all others like picnic blankets, lace doilies, etc
I love this house

Oh my goodness....I'm having to close my eyes whenever I walk past the washing line. I did some washing this morning and it's all been hung out perfectly, facing the right way with matching pegs. John's since washed his wet bike clothes from when he was at the Lakes at the weekend and he's hung it on the line.
It's hung any old way...and the pegs don't match!!! I've been resisting taking his stuff off and re-hanging it - with matching pegs of course - but then I'd have to explain why I was doing that
