I must wee, even if I have to SQUEEZE one out, right before bed. So, if I wee, then get distracted and have to do something else, even if it only takes me a minute or two to do it (eg, check the boys, brush my teeth) I have to wee again. I've been know to wee, then go to bed, to discover no water near the bed. I go to the kitchen, fetch the water, put it beside the bed, and then go back for another wee. I CANNOT, repeat CANNOT go to bed unless the last thing I have done is wee.<br /><br />Phew. I feel so much better for sharing that.Jodie Anstedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300961546795965857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-17053753823918298092009-11-19T23:09:19.034+11:002009-11-19T23:09:19.034+11:00hmmm

I am an over-the-top toilet paper girl, I will change it at families houses but not friends as I had a girlfriend change mine, not nice.<br />2. My computer chair must be the exact height. It is a swivel chair that you spin to adjust the height up and down, shits me when people (my partner) purposely go round and round on it.<br />3. I cannot eat meat off the bone, hate it. I don't like the feeling of bone on my teeth.<br />4. Dark meat on chicken, even if its a spot I will cut it off and put it in the bin (I can't leave it on my plate).<br />5. I clean my teeth on the shower every morning. No shower = no clean teeth in the morning.<br /><br />I'm sure there is more but anymore and you'll think I'm weird. Oh and the partner - he must cut all his corn off the cob before eating it.Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756811654664864639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-3510685838694468562009-11-18T21:39:44.886+11:002009-11-18T21:39:44.886+11:00Ok, so entirely by accident, I discovered this tod...Ok, so entirely by accident, I discovered this today: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/I-have-to-have-the-TV-volume-on-an-even-number-or-a-multiple-of-five/203337931756?v=wall&ref=nf<br />That's right, a Facebook group with over 64,000 fans WHO ALL HAVE my weird thing about the TV volume.
