  Friday confessional - your weird habits!

  bookgirl Joined on 05-Jan-2006 United Kingdom Posts 5,336	Contact I iron muslins. I blame my compulsive-ironer mother. Also, I can't put clothes on Izzy until she gets to the age on them - so today a whole drawer of 9-12 month stuff has opened up to us! Confess your weirdness here!

  Contact I ironed muslins with Harvey but not so sure I will this time around. My wierdie thing is that when I peg out washing, the pegs have to be of the same type on a garment, I don't mind if they are different colours but a wooden peg cannot be coupled with a plastic one, it's just wrong.   Harvey born 7 October 2005 - 11 days late - 6lb 10oz Hugo born 25 April  2010 - 12 days late - 8lb 8oz Life moves pretty fast.

I cannot stand crumbs, bread crumbs and toast crumbs are the work of the devil. I cannot clean them up, they make me gag if i touch them or when they cling to the kitchen cloth (shudder).

  Contact Gosh, you lot ironing muslins, I can just about manage to iron my jeans! I always have to pair up socks on the washing line/clothes dryer so it's easier to put them away when they are dry.  H never does this and it drives me mad!  I also take the clothes of the line depending on who they belong to, so again easier to put back in the relevants persons drawer. ETA: Mine don't seem that wierd compared to some of yours!     - May 07 - August 09

  Contact Noggin:   I always have to pair up socks on the washing line/clothes dryer so it's easier to put them away when they are dry.   Ooooh I do this too Noggin, there is something so satisfying about taking them off and being able to pair them straight away!  Harvey born 7 October 2005 - 11 days late - 6lb 10oz Hugo born 25 April  2010 - 12 days late - 8lb 8oz Life moves pretty fast.

  Contact Actually reading this thread it sounds like I'm not too weird - I hang socks up in pairs, hanging everything for each person together so it's easier to put away, I have to use the same sort of pegs on an item taking it a teeny step further in that they also have to be the same colour if I'm using plastic! I think I may be a little bit anal about cleaning as my other thing is washing up related, I have to wash up in a certain order - baby things, glassware, cutlery, crockery etc if I miss something it has to wait til the end and I'll start again in clean water! xx R born Jan '06, C  born Jan '10, J born Sept '11 xx
