Egluntyne Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 And here. Occasionally we get e new roll propped on the holder, but not actually replaced. They wouldn't do it correctly anyway. Bit like towel folding. Another obsession of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think it might be. I'm not quite as bad as Anthea Turner in this respect, but not far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 OK - I'm confused - you people FOLD TOWELS??? Surely you just sorta bundle them into the cupboard in a well bundle??? I think Christian should come and visit - he would have a field day. I bet his lock & lock is neatly stacked not just all bundled into the cupboard Is anyone seeing a theme here???

mostin Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 OK - I'm confused - you people FOLD TOWELS??? Surely you just sorta bundle them into the cupboard in a well bundle????? *Takes deep breaths and has to go sit down somewhere quiet and dark* Oh dear, I do have a problem . I have worked out how to fold my towels so that they fit exactly into the blanket box without leaving any gaps at the edges or creeping up the sides. This maximises the amount of towels I can fit in neatly. You can't tell I'm a scientist at all can you? . When I left my last job, on my leaving card they wrote "If it's not a right angle, it's a wrong angle" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Towels folded neatly with the ends facing the wall . Flannels folded neatly and placed in a basket, all facing the same way . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 OK, I have a thing about towels as well They have to folded a certain way to fit into the wicker blanket box so the lid goes down and fastens shut. Swimming towels on the right, bath towels in the middle and hand towels on the left. Towels that have just been washed have to go at the bottom of the box not plonked on top of other towels waiting to be used, strict rotation here Same goes for tea towels, kitchen hand towels, dishcloths, ovengloves and pinnys in the bottom drawer in the kitchen. It really annoys me if the rotation thing is not observed I think need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I worked for a family as a nanny when I was 17 and they showed me how they wanted their towels folded. I still fold them like that today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Er, I have mine all ways. We have 3 loos here, one hasn't got a holder at all - in the family bathroom - it ends up all over the place. Downstairs is hanging at the back over the radiator hmmmm nice and warm - I prefer it at the back anyway. Ensuite is awkwardly placed and so paper is at the front so I can get to it when I grope behind me. I'm sorry that is rather graphic isn't it. Eeewwwww. As for towels - I have had to hide our ones from the airing cupboard where they have been living for years in a happy rotation. DD and DS have a habit of helping themselves to clean towels every time they shower - every day. They don't think to pick up their ones that have been allocated to them and put them on the radiator after use. So when I wanted a shower or bath, the whole blooming lot had disappeared - found them on their bedroom floors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I need to be booked in somewhere dark and quiet. My OCD has got so bad that I've been diagnosed by my GP as having CDO.

Valkyrie Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Er, if only I could have the same order of rotation for jars in the kitchen - but the tinned food is! I take the lot out and put the new ones upside down at the back so that when I open them the contents don't stick on the bottom! Aha, CDO, penny just dropped. OH has to knock 6 times on his reading book before he turns his light off. So infuriating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I like all tins and jars to be facing the right way and i categorise all my clothing. I have 5 types of jumpers, 6 types of tops, 3 types of knickers, 5 types of socks.......etc. The house isn't ever tidy so noone notices my OCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think we need an OCD thread. My towels are categorised. Bath towels and hand towels are bundled in the airing cupboard Hot tub towels are bundled in the hot tub cupboard Swimming towels/gym towels are bundled in gym/swimming bags And if a towel is left on the bedroom/landing floor or shoved over the bannister I get confused. Tea towels are shoved in a basket in the kitchen Face flannels are shoved in a basket in the bathroom And to continue the basket theme tights, socks, knickers are all shoved in a basket in the bedroom - right on top of the drawers they are supposed to be in. Oh the tights are loosly knotted into one jumble too - cos that's how they come out of the washing machine. DID ANYONE HEAR THAT THUMP??? IT WAS CHRISTIAN HAVING A HEART ATTACK AT THE THOUGHT OF THIS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassett Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nah! Tidy on the outside............really, really messy in cupboards where no one sees . Sounds just like my house. People often comment on how tidy it is!!! Little do they know that it is only tidy because everything is slung into the cupboards, to keep the clutter out of view! In fact, I find tidy cupboards really unnerving. I went to someone's house recently and when they opened their kitchen cupboards whilst making tea and biscuits, it reminded me of that scene from "Sleeping with the Enemy"!! I decided that I could never be friends with someone who had such unnaturally tidy cupboards. On the toilet paper poll, It has to be hanging down the front when small children reside in the house! I always worry that mucky fingers might touch the wall if it was hanging down the back!!! The joys of having small children!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
