Checks thread again......... :-)

*worries about Mr M* ;-) :-D

I dont colour co ordinate the pegs.... anymore

I remind myself not to because my youngest has OCD and colour co ordinates everything.
Over the years I have replaced all my crockery with plain white because she used to spend ages making sure that each patterned edge was lined up and stacked exactly!

I confess too..... if anyone else hangs my washing out, I always re-do it!
It must be hung in size order, starting with smalls on the inside, then the larger items and finally, bath sheets and bedding on the outside!

Oooookay, I guess have no OCD, and I'm feeling a little odd :-S

I've always had white crockery - food looks less like a disaster.
I'm currently painting my walls Magnolia again - purely because it's easier on the eye with my clutter :-0

I don't leave the house without make-up - but that's only for the benefit of others. If I'm not leaving my house/garden, I don't bother - and my make-up is hardly visible anyway.

I DO like my washing hung a certain way - but that's only because it dries quicker - trousers from waistband, and sheets etc so they don't hit the garden table & chairs or the plants (my line runs the length of the garden). Don't care about size order - but can understand it on a rotary.

For years people have thought I was a bit of a nutter because I had to have my pegs "just so" - you lot don't realise how happy you have made me now I realise I am not alone.

I have 100s of pegs so that I have just the right ones for each garment - I often tip the whole lot into the laundry basket and rummage for ages so I can find the right ones - example, black socks with a red logo have to have small red pegs, etc etc

It's all very well people saying "buy wooden pegs" - their texture isn't right for delicate garments.

When Mr Celeste hangs out the washing I am beside myself until I can get out there and rearrange the pegs as he doesn't appreciate the finer points of peg coordination. Can't look out the window and see what he's done.

Have got a number of "OCD" like habits, nearly all colour related. Handbags have to be colour co-ordinated and then watches, jewellery etc have to match the metal hardware on the bag. I'd be very uncomfortable if I had a gold coloured watch when the trim on a bag was silver coloured. No, it's not a fashion victim thing, it's a colour "OCD" thing.

My mother's forname on her birth certificate is Margaret. But she was known by all as 'Peg'.

So, go easy on your 'pegs' please.

l have to have even numbers with pegs on the line and like AnnG start with the smalls on the inner lines.If l have'nt time l will tell myself to agree that uneven is ok !! Vic throws items on and l often go and straighten them and have to hang trousers from the ankles not the waist. Also l can't stand seeing puddles of water or crumbs on the work tops........the work top pattern looks like crumbs and bits of food anyways ( all browns,orange, cream speckles). l used to count all the stairs and steps and they had to be even, l would go back down one to make it even...but not anymore...phewww
