Normal ? or OCD?

It doesn't matter if anyone is a bit on the OCD side, as long as their life isn't ruined by it.
I would think most people have their own funny little ways of doing things.
I pull back the duvet to air, and rarely make the bed before 11am.Then it's just to straighten the sheet, plump up our pillows and pull the duvet up again.One pillow each and no cushions or anything else( there used to be a sleeping cat)
If we are very busy I sometimes forget to make it then there are outraged squawks from Mr Roses ( who is tidier than me.)

I'm a housework hater, and do as little as possible, as infrequently as possible!
I need visitors every so often as that's the only time everywhere gets a good going over,
However, bathroom and kitchen towels have to be all hung the same way, bathroom towels and bath mats have to match exactly, cups have handles to the right, pattern at the front, plates in size order, loo roll end being over and down at the front, washing used to be put put on the line with colour coordinated pegs, but now I have stainless steel pegs, which stopped that! All my herbs and spices are in alphabetical order in seagrass baskets, but I use a lot of different flavourings, so it makes sense, I can find what I want really quickly. Jewellery has to be put back in the right compartment of the jewellery box, toothbrushes go in their own hole in the bathroom holder, shampoo and shower gel bottles all have the labels facing front, bedlinen has to be plain white.......oh God, I'm weird aren't I?

If I rush out and forget to make the bed there is often an accusatory 'You didn't make the bed' from DH!! Odd, really, because he will help me change the duvet cover and do all kinds of other tasks.

You and me both then Juggernaut!

We do exactly the same as Jalima1108

My family tell me i am OCD, i know i am but hey what can you do ?

I feel that doing certain jobs in the house everyday gives structure to my day. There is no way i could leave the house without making the beds, unless an extreme emergency. My kitchen is always cleaned everyday but we do leave cups plates from supper overnight to be washed in the morning. My washing and ironing are up todate and the bathroom cleaned regularly. I take pride in the fact anyone could drop in and the house would be clean and tidy in the essential areas. I do have a few cobwebs and maybe the stairs dont get cleaned as often as they should but hey i have a busy life people to see and places to go, plus of course this time of the year my wonderful garden and greenhouse take up a lot of my time.

I'm with you Paddyann. Not only does my bed have to be made when I get out it...it has to be aestetically pleasing...unfortunately, I do all of the housework so that everything is neatly in place! I'm not houseproud as such and I don't have to have the latest trends in furnishings..I'm more of a shabby chic person... but I must have neat and tidy!

I'm with Teetime!! . . .. .just has to be!!

I think we need an "I am a domestic slob thread."
Can one be obessively disorganised? It sounds a bit like an oxymoron to me.

Teetime. I am a bit like you too. I could never , ever leave a bed unmade, perhaps if the house was on fire, but even then I would hesitate !we have a top sheet as well as a Duvet. DH says I tuck in so tightly it is like sliding into an envelope.

I put a T Towel on the worktop, it has to be folded in a certain way, and placed at exactly the correct angle ( Correct as defined by me)

Oh Dear I sound dreadful. The thing is I am not judgmental at all If I was at someone else's house and it was muddled for want of a better word I would not care one jot, nor think any the less of them. I just like it MY way in our own home.
