My Secret Obsession...

I am linking up with Kerry to share 'My Secret Obsession'.  Read Kerry's funny post - she loves Tim Minchin, which is excellent, and follow the links to other obsessive folk!

So mine?  I could go with the 'expected', kids eating the wrong things, watching too much TV or the totally 'natural' Harrison Ford crush, but no.  I'll share two, although I think one is just plain OCD!

Pegs...  I cannot hang washing with odd pegs!  If an item of clothing requires 2 pegs, or maybe even 4 for a sheet or duvet cover, the pegs have to match!


If the kids want to help, and pass me non-matching pegs, they usually just shrug, roll their eyes, give me an "oh mama" and play along with the mad woman's request!

Normally it's not a problem, but on those warm summer days when I do about 5 loads of washing, change all the bedding and get down to the faded manky old pegs at the bottom of the basket, it's requires a bit of planning!

Warned you, OCD!

Secondly, flip flops!!


I only own one pair of proper shoes; OK they are yellow and don't go with everything, and I wear boots all winter, but the moment the temperature hits double figures I'm in flip flops!  I don't know how many pairs I have; there's a box in the wardrobe with at least 4 pairs of Havaianas, some Reefs and a couple of Accessorise sparklies.

But I also have a holdall crammed full, and some in the loft.  I have a pair for every occasion!


I wore flip flops for the Evening Reception after our wedding, and will probably be buried in them too!

Oh, and to go with the flip flops, I have equal amounts of nail varnish for my tootsies...


So c'mon, your turn to share!
