anyone else suffer from this - debilitating syndrome?

you put something down and your partner puts it away in a box... what is that all about? If you wanted it a box you'd have put it there yourself?

Wouldn't you?

No but when I was at my parents I'd open letters/bills etc, read them and put them on the side to deal with later..

Then my dad got hold of them :rant: Never saw them again!

its called tyding up, lol

after my fellas gone too work on a morning i go round n claer up all his crap n put it away, he never knows where nething is! lol

I put my partners bits and pieces he leaves lyng about in a basket. I call them his precious things. "these are precious things" he would be surounded by precious things if I didn't move them.

It's called the Bermuda Triangle syndrome in our house.

I can spend ages looking for something in our house, only to be told, 'It's in the cupboard. I put it there so you'd know where it is'.

Funny that, I knew where it was BEFORE it got put in the cupboard.:mad:

Note to USAF....Try looking in the cupboard for Flight 19...my missus might just have been tidying that day!

Well, if your dad PAID the bills as well, what's the problem? ;)

I'm tidier than I used to be but still not brilliant.

When I'm doing a 'project' like a book or a script I leave piles of books and papers out all over the place and claim to know where everything I need is.

If those piles get disturbed....oh dear.

:)

What's a hoover ?:P

ive heard of them owdlad, got any info for me ?:heyhey:

A tidy house is the sign of an empty life. I like to keep my computer filesystem well ordered, and I'm pretty anal about what goes on my virtual desktop, but I'd feel somehow cold if I didn't have to dig the keyboard out of an enormous pile of paperwork and mouldy supernoodles.

isnt it just nice though, to look around and not see shiles of pite everywhere.
I find pleasure in looking around, thinking, it's pretty damn tidy, now i'll sit and read my book without annoying clutter distracting me all the time.

Unfortunately the other half seems to think a flat surface needs decorating with a maximum entropy pile of things that she's either intending to do something with, at some point, or are on their way to the bin but didn't quite make it that extra 10 foot.
I annoy her by piling the whole lot into one tidy pile, not as good as not being there, but better than being spread out.

my mother used to have "Bin Syndrome". Anything left on the side got chucked straight in the bin. Could be bills, cheques or £100 of free Scream beer vouchers:( makes no difference...

I have a housemate who follows me around 'tidying'.

Very confusing... I can never find anything.

Give me untidiness any day. At least you know that whatever it is you're looking for, chances are it will be in that pile of mess over there!

My house is usually very messy i try to be tidy but i get buried by the mound of paper coming through the front door. I think i'm supposed to keep some of it but i have no hwre to keep all those old phone bills etc.
Also i think i have borrowers, sometimes my stuff goes missing and turns up somewhere random. this happens to things such as hair bands, nail clippers and important forms i should of filled in several weeks ago. It's very odd. Anyone know how to get rid of borrowers?

Having just now completed that exact task, I AGREE!

You know what they say; cluttered desk, cluttered mind. Of course, if your desk is empty...

;)

LOL try telling him next time he puts your stuff in a box your putting him in a box :o

Mouldy supernoodles..... thats grose!!!! must ring Aggie and whats her name to come and check your bacteria levels YUK!

I know I have a problem with tidying... my friends say Ive got compulsive cleaning disorder and they also call me monica (from friends). I used to have a cleaner but my partner stopped her coming because all I would do is tidy up before she came as I was embarassed if it looked a mess......

I can see the downsides to having everything perfect. such as my partner says it like living in a ****ing showhome and gets really mad with me and the fact that even if I am home late from work I start cleaning before ive even taken my coat off.

YES ITS A PROBLEM.....BUT ITS MY PROBLEM AND I LIKE IT.

CLEANLINESS IS CLOSE TO GODLINESS..... so Iam a saint
