You know a bit about her, so how do you honestly think she'd react if I did that - positively (although grudgingly) conceding that I had a point, and then change her habits, or otherwise, as in get upset?

Haha - that's funny! Might explain why she's so 'close' to her girly pals [the mind boggles]:eek::D

Seriously though, I'm really only having a larf. Like you say, I'm not without faults, and I know there are small things I do that annoy her, which we have a laugh about (gently ribbing each other has always been part of our relationship), and I'm largely doing the same here, with her tendency for untidiness - and giving you lot a giggle in the process. We should start a new thread entitled 'Moans about your partner', and see what others have to put up with!:eyebrows:

:eek: Did I read your second paragraph right? Does she monitor your posts? She really needs to.

Oh and I have no moans about my partner, she's perfect. She's my soul mate. She's reading over my shoulder. Oh great, she's gone now, time to dish the dirt before the laptop battery dies. For starters she's alwa

The biggest problem though is tights, especially as it's winter and she wears them nearly every day.

When she tries a pair on with a skirt or dress and decides that they're not quite the right shade, or horror of horror, there's a run in them, instead of either chucking them away or folding them back neatly where they go (she's got drawers with separate little boxes/dividers, where all her socks, tights and knickers are supposed to be stored neatly in colour order), they're just abandoned either on the floor or on the bed, often scrunched up in balls...

Then she moans when she can't find anything - and asks me if I've seen it!!:lol: Can't win, mate... I think Geoff's got the right idea, I could always burn all her tights and force her to go barelegged - now *THAT* would teach her!!;)

Marco.

They're not supposed to be stored in colour order, that's just you. I'd say you were COD, but I know seeing the letters in the wrong order would drive you mad :doh:

Lol - honestly, it was HER idea to have the facility to do that, and one of the reasons why she *wanted* a separate dressing room, not just for privacy, but so she had more room to store and properly arrange her stuff, particularly to help her get ready for work quickly on dark winter mornings.

Therefore, the idea was for things she uses daily, such as underwear, to be easily accessible (colour and style order), so she could throw things on quickly if she slept in, without having to search for stuff... However, it seems to be a case of 'best laid plans', as I think she's decided it's just too much effort!:doh::D

my daughter was and probably can still be messy like that but she did a tidy every week.I had a proclivity for being tidy when i ran house outwith daughters room. I washed ironed and hung up everything. Rarely do it now tho. probably as nobody sees me.

I'm with Del. I arrange my shirts in order of colour, from white through to black with a graduation via grey, blue, green, pink and purple.

I don't care if people think I have OCD - I know I do. For example when I put a CD back in its case, I always rotate the disc so the lettering is aligned with the top edge. :rolleyes: I would do it with vinyl records but that is more difficult to do.

I also arrange all tins, jars and bottles so the labels are at the front; not only those in the kitchen but in the bathroom as well. :D

Yeah lol, you've mentioned that before, which is one of the reasons why I think her and Del would get on - possibly on a girly shopping trip!:D

Does your daughter like buying clothes and shoes?:)

it was a really a punishment. you had to paint anything black, white... then next guy on jankers got to scrub it all off and back to black... when challenged the army said it was an anti theft thing.

That last bit isn't OCD, it's just good sense. As for the thing with the CDs, well how to describe that? The word 'mental' is such a blunt tool, so I'll go with quirky :ner:

Quite right, Barry. Tidy and organised is the one:thumbsup: OCD is rather different, though. I'm not OCD, and I don't think Del really is, but in certain circumstances she likes everything in its right place (such as anything to do with the kitchen or cooking), but clothes, nah!

Or rather I should say, she *purports* to want to have things tidy and in their place, but when it comes down to it, just doesn't quite happen:D

Was it not a Scottish tradition to take a lump of coal round to neighbours? You don't want mucky hands if you're planning to grope Morag at number 23 :eyebrows:

Tell me about it, mate! There's even a mini-fridge in there, filled with half-bottles of Prosecco [I kid you not], so her pals and her, when the room eventually gets its 'official opening' (with a sleepover party) don't have to go to the fridge in the kitchen next door in various states of undress!!:eek:

I tried to arrange my ties in some semblance of order but have failed completely in that regard, as I have with socks, underpants and handkerchiefs.

The above is not too much of a problem, but when it come to the kitchen "a place for everything and everything in its place" is very important to me. When I'm in the middle of cooking I don't want to be searching around for a particular pot, pan or implement. :steam:

A converted spare room, mate. It's still a 'spare room', as such, as it has a bed in it, but it's mainly used now as her dressing room - and of course it's pink! So if you come down to visit, you'll have to get with Barbie vibe:lol::D

I know you quite like that, though:eyebrows:

You'd have to buy one first. And for a bloke still learning to use his Nokia 3210 it could all end in tears :doh: I can just see you accidentally sending the footage to Del & friends' WhatsApp group chat :(

Hahaha - now that would be hilarious, or for me, most likely not!:eek::eek: Probably would get my 'jotters', lol... Don't you think?

It wouldn't have been my phone though, but her old one, which still works and she keeps as a spare. I'm sure I could work out how to record a video, or even just the sounds (lol) - as they say, where there's a will there's a way:eyebrows:

Joking aside though, there's NO way I'd ever do that, as it would be nasty and also a gross infringement of her privacy. As they say, girls just wanna have fun, and that doesn't always have to involve us.

Just seen a news report that British lorry drivers are having ham sandwiches confiscated at the Dutch border (importation of meat products not allowed from non EU countries).

Fair enough, but I do hope that we will be doing the same to drivers coming in to the UK (somehow I doubt it)

Shocking, of course in the old days we could have just sailed a gunboat up the Scheldt and dropped a few rounds on Amsterdam, ginger them up a bit.

Sticklers for the rules and regs though, yer Dutch.

One time flying back through Schiphol I was stopped by 2 coppers who insisted that I could not get on the flight as I had a keyring that looked like a bullet. The keyring was already on the keys I was handed when I'd bought the house and I'd flown all over the world with it, no issues. They insisted that I had to take it off and leave it with them if I wanted to fly. Completely ridiculous.

What use is a bullet without a gun? Did they think you might poke someone in the eye with it, or fill it with drugs and shove it up yer jacksie? Daftees...:D
