I also from time to time do counting but I
also do spelling, maybe it's because I do a lot of crosswords
and am addicted to Wordbrain and Scrabble.

Me too, I devised a version of an alphanumeric code that is of use to no one but me

Have to admit, the only things I 'like' to do - and this is only since I've got older, is to have matching sheets, with a co-ordinating duvet cover, and since I bought lovely coloured towels every time I went to Portugal, these also co-ordinate with my bedding!
But it's only because I can, not because I feel it's important.
In every other sense, my house is a tip :-S

Iv'e often counted or estimated the amount of money I wasted on beer and cigarettes.
I could have bought two houses, o one in a nice location

I quit the booze in 1978 and the cigarettes in 1995

I count myself fortunate to have survived such folly

numbers confuse me most of the time i some times see the number 3 as a number 6
and if 6 is the first number i some times see it as a 3

you can even be sitting next to me and say no that a 6 and ill still wright down number 3

i don't like the letter d b i get them confused as well
with d i have to think of the word dad that way i no the o bit gos to the left side
and same with b i have to think of the word bed the o bit will go on the right side

im ok now with the number 2 and 5 but when i was a kid it was the c shape that i would get the wrong way round and i dident that one right till i was about 14

Not to worry Shelly, there's a lot of people can't read.

Maths has always been important, Moses called his fourth book Numbers
