Isn’t it funny how we all have our little ‘ways’. or foibles that are part of our make-up but other people might find a little odd or unusual….
One of my old ladies had got quite long hair, but it is really thin, She has these 3 hair combs which she likes to put her hair up with every morning, The problem is, I am rubbish with hair! Not only that, trying to get these combs to stay in is a nightmare as they just slide out. You have to be really careful as well as you can’t try to dig them in as there is only really scalp with a small smattering of hair, so it is going to hurt. She is no longer able to do it herself either, and is understandably fussy about how it is done!
Miss Hap loves the bright lights, literally! She cannot go into a room day or night without turning on the light. We can tell where she had been due to the house looking like ‘Blackpool Illuminations!’ It does drive us mad at times, especially when it is broad daylight outside.
Now my mum wears ‘pop socks.’ For those that are unfamiliar with them, they are knee-high tights with a big band around the top to keep them up (which has a kind of tourniquet effect). Not the most attractive of hosiery but much favoured by the older lady due to their comfort and ease of getting on and off. The problem is, they do not flatter. Anyone. Especially if the outfit they are wearing is above the knee. The expanse of pudgy, flesh between pop sock and bottom of hem resembles uncooked dough.She loves them though and that is that!
Mr Grump has a bit of an odd habit (in my opinion anyway). He has a set time to ‘go to the toilet’ (poo) every morning, I mean, it is like clockwork. Well it would be except for one thing. it takes him half an hour to go! It is just so weird to me that he gets up, goes out with the dog for a walk then goes! It’s not as if the walk kick-starts things into action, so to speak, as it takes half a bloody hour! Is this a man thing?
So what about me? Well I couldn’t really think of anything (or more honestly, I had trouble choosing just one thing) so I chose the fact that I like to eat my meat last when having a meal. I also do not like any gravy or sauce on my meat (It is fine on potatoes or veg). I do try to remember when going out to eat, not to do that, but I find I don’t enjoy my food as much. Strange I know.
Do you have any funny little ways or habits?

I can’t have my pudding if I don’t eat my meat. How am I supposed to have any pudding if I don’t eat my meat?

After my swim I HAVE to spend two minutes. not three, not one, two minutes in the hot tub.
Oh, and when I am in a room with a group of people I have to count how many of us there are, and then count a few more times to make sure I did it right.

Oh how funny! Counting people numerous times! It can’t be good if there are a lot of you and people keep coming and gong! Presumably you time your 2 mins to the second! Love it! 🙂

Kids – leaving school bags, shoes and socks in the middle of the loungeroom – drives me crazy.
Miss 9 – always has to turn the lights on too, even during the day.
Husband – every time I clear a table or bench space he comes home and plonks down more crap. Hoarder of everything. Continuously brings home junk that I have to find a place to store.
Me – I eat breakfast standing up while packing/unpacking the dishwasher/making lunches.
Hope no one else is busting to go while your hubby’s in the loo or do you have two toilets? Perhaps he’s taking so long on purpose so he can get away from everyone and have time to himself and read a book or something?? 🙂

Yahoo for 2 toilets! Stig of the Dump! That’s hilarious. Another thing my husband does is orders things on line continuously and there’s parcel after parcel arriving and sometimes he says “Oh, I ordered that ages ago,” or “I’d forgotten about that one”. Wonder how many parcels have not even turned up that he doesn’t know about!

I like gravy all over roast dinner (not chips or mash though) but hate custard with dessert, I love custard but I either have it in a separate bowl or use the same bowl after I’ve finished the main pudding. If I have sausage, beans and mash I use the sausages to create a barrier to protect the mash from bean juice infection.

Strange as it may seem, I always eat a bag of crisps by opening the bottom of the packet rather than the top. It has something to do with the crisps tasting far better by eating them that way. I don’t know why, but my taste buds seem to tell me that and I enjoy them a whole lot better.

I am sure it does taste better than way, just as my meat does when it is eaten last! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
