Odd little habits anyone?

What about your toothy pegs you bedtime sweetie eaters.

hunt I bet that gave you a fright

HUNT!I've done the same , but with milk!
Much messier!

After an op. when I was taking painkillers during the night, I used to keep a glass of water beside the bed, but my cats would drink it, so I would have to get up to rinse and refill the glass. I changed to a sports bottle but was unable to swallow the tablets when using it. I don't need it at night any more but have a few around the house which I sip as I pass, as I know I don't drink enough.
Am I right in thinking there is some nonsense about not refilling plastic mineral water bottles bags? All I can remember is that I decided to ignore the advice!

I decided to ignore that advice too, shysal. I've never heard of a reason why it was given and until I do, it's on my bullshit list. Even with a reason, if the reason is daft, it will stay on said list. My reasoning is that if a plastic bottle is safe for 'food use' (storing drinking water) then it'll be safe for lo..o..o..ng time.

I never drink juice during the day but cannot go to bed without a glass by the side of my bed,I sometime's can't remember drinking it but most morning it has all gone.

That will be the night fairies drinking it then glammanana.

What's this about plastic bottles? I have a thrifty friend who is still using the same one after more than a year.

I don't have any bedtime habits apart from reading myself to sleep. I feel left out

Why is this only bedtime habits? Title suggests any time will do.

There you go then, Movedalot! Feel free to disclose all....

I'll have to ask DH but I suspect he will say that everything about me is odd

Yes, I did mean any time of day.

I'm trying to think if I have any daytime odd habits.

I do hide secret stores of food and lunch boxes about the house, if that will do.

Yes it certainly will petallus! Why do you do that?

Well the rational reason is so that huge DGS and DH won't eat everything before I get a chance.

All my storage boxes get appropriated by DGS when he is packing up his lunch for a day at work. Even writing 'Grandma' on them doesn't stop it. So I hide them.

But apart from that, don't you think it's kind of cosy to have secret food in pretty little containers hiding away that only you know about? Biscuits, chocolate, expensive tomatoes and apples, other little treats?

My mother used to do it with butter (during the war), chocolate wholemeal biscuits and tins of condensed milk.

Not during the war, after the war when we had rationing (the butter).

Yes, I can see that hiding certain foods makes sense if you share your house with a couple of gannets! DH and I tend to like different things so it's never been an issue.

why not to re-use plastic bottles
I shall continue to re-use them

When I was small if we were lucky enough to have a joint of meat for Sunday it would be cooked on the Saturday so there would be dripping for a sandwich, but if my Mum didnt hide the joint when my father came home from the pub he would eat it ......so it was usually hidden under the bed

Isn't gum disease more often the problem with oldies' teeth than caries? I should have thought the sugar from one sweetie would soon dissolve and be swallowed. Now starch is a different matter…

It's no good, I shan't be able to rest until I've said it.

The idea of a cooked joint of beef, cooling under the bed has really captured my imagination glassortwo.

But didn't your father ever catch on?

Yes - couldn't he smell it?

I imagine glass's father wandering around trying to find where the lovely smell was coming from. Then I had to hope there was a 'pot' under there too.

You'll probably think I'm mad, but when I first come downstairs in the morning and open the door into the kitchen, I say hello to all the cats, one at a time,"hello Flash", Hello Candy", "Hello Lucky" and then, even though she died a year ago, "Hello Rosie" as I don't want the others thinking we've forgotten her, and it's nice to say her name.

See - told you I was mad (but I don't care)

oh that is so cute sunflower!!

I have to get up as Rosie my little king charles wakes me and barks until I come down and get her breakfast shapes out of box!! sometimes she is patient and will let me doze for few minutes!!

glassortwo that is so funny!! My Dad used to have a small steak when he got in from pub on Sat and fry if for himself.

He used to look after numer 1 god rest his soul!
