Nor me lucky that is so weird!

Good heavens - you would not last a moment in our tip!! The tea towel usually lands on the floor! As for cushion zips and matching pegs.....the mind boggles! I have never given either even a passing thought.

Isn't it normal to put cushions with zips at the bottom then?

Bellanonna Sun 21-Feb-16 17:50:56

Petra, maybe she means the cushions you lean on, I,e. at the back of you, where the zips need to be at the bottom.

I don't even think about peg colours. Just grateful if I have enough and they don't snap as I put them into something heavy. I do have to get out of bed and go downstairs if I think I've forgotten to check that the row of hob buttons are all facing the same way. But there's a practical reason for that though - if one was out of alignment the gas would be on. I also have to make sure I've turned the washing machine off after reading about the fire potential. And I have often fretted on the way to a holiday in case I didn't check the hob, had left a light on, or a window open. I've actually rung my daughter to go and check for me. I've also had to stop the car just to check the boot. Again.
I don't spring clean as such either grannylyn65, so that's at least two of us.

Oh thank goodness! I have to have matching colour pegs and cushions placed with zips on the bottom and the tea-towel straight and .......can't bear to go on.

Aren't the zips always at the bottom?

grannylyn65 Sun 21-Feb-16 17:35:39

I certainly don't, I know at 67 I am never going to be an organised person!! And, I have never ever spring cleaned blush

I have purchased a big bag of wooden pegs, all the same! How I shall enjoy next summer.

The majority of people have OCD? Really?

Anniebach Sun 21-Feb-16 17:08:41

If it really troubles you so you will not use pegs of a different colour if there are only two,left then you have OCD, the majority of people do

My friend has just told me that she can't go to sleep unless she has checked that the cushions on her sofa are positioned with the " zip side" at the bottom.
I cannot hang anything out to dry unless the two pegs are of matching colours, and preferably match the colour of the garment.
