I rarely (if ever) fret about housework, but for some weird reason today I'm working thru all those jobs I've been putting off for ages.  I'm telling myself not to worry about it cos its probably planetary (nearly full moon?) but its still not in character for me.

Complete opposite to you Poolshark lol but I wish you a sink full of pots.

Must admit, that is odd for a bloke... most I know don't do anything unless they have a gun pointed at their head!    Basically I have to do EVERYTHING before I can relax; paperwork, houswork, washing, ironing, letters due to people, pay bills, sort banking.... I can't do ANYthing unless I have all the chores done first.

Its not, generally, in a mans mind to 'tidy up'.  We aren't programmed that way.  Yes we have to be asked and we will do it...most of the time.

 

Same goes for remembering important dates like Birthdays, Anniversaries etc.  We just don't.  I only know of one male friend who knows everyones birthdays, anniversaries and home addresses....but he is a bit of a women, he even cried at the film Face/Off.

I've discovered I have a polterteen 

 

Doors I have just closed are suddenly open again.  Lights I have just switched off are mysteriously turned back on and when I have washed, dried and put away all the dishes, more appear out of nowhere.  (Nowhere being the polterteens bedroom)

I can't go out without washing up either Poolshark And not being able to shower (or bath) morning and evening would really worry me....

I can very easily leave washing up ................I do it all in a blitz. As for showering hair (and if I'm leaving the house) make up - I'm OCD. I may sit in a bomb site (sometimes) but I always smell good.

do you have that conversation in your head where you go 'sod it ill just stick it in the drawer' then you go to do something else and you think, that wasn't folded right/ in the right bit/ dry properly/ straight and have to get up and go and sort it out.

 

or you cant watch telly because you think the wardrobe door wasnt shut properly.
