What's something normal in your home but probably weird in others homes?

I would
Keeping bread in the freezer

Oh and there is a desk in the kitchen and one in the garden room (don't know what to call it - an extension with mostly windows) neither it which are used as desks.

Bookcase and armchairs breed here. I have 4 of each in one room.

I iron and starch my sheets. Do not use fitted sheet but flat sheet for bottom of bed. Then another sheet under the duvet.

NB. This is just for me, don't bother for anyone else's beds in the household.

I keep jam in the fridge, comes of living in a hot country, if I didn't there would be a crust of ants around the sticky parts of the jar, or I would thoroughly wipe it ever day.

Another one with a house rabbit here (you can sneer at me too if you want *@EarringsandLipstick* 😒) and he’s cuddled up with me on the sofa now. He occasionally sleeps at the foot of the bed but mostly prefers the whole sofa to himself at night.

Eh?

Where's that coming from? My comment to the previous poster was light-hearted that I would hate any animal in my bed (I quickly followed up explaining that, and I was the same with cats)

No need for snarkiness.

That reminds me - also I keep my marmalade in the fridge because I like cold marmalade

I keep the school uniform in a giant tub downstairs with the underwear so dc can get dressed straight after breakfast without fanning around upstairs. Just pop up quickly to brush teeth before shoes. Somewhat redundant at the moment of course!

A baby grand piano

We have a curtain over our front door which is very old fashioned but I love it.

Toothbrushes on the downstairs loo of there is one, as well as in the upstainrs bathroom. I do this even now, old legs prefer it.

I have a tuck-shop cupboard.

My children have left home, otherwise it would not be possible.

Old rocking horses cluttering up the place.

I freeze bread too, thought it is common.

Oh wow @BitOfFun

I would have a LOT of fun with that cupboard; mere hours would see a sizeable dent in it (chocolate items anyway. I don't like 'sweets')

Omg BitOfFun it is is cute

For years, I cleaned my teeth in bed (next to my DH), swallowed the toothpaste and left the brush on the side next to me until morning.
Is that weird??

It seems we are more normal than we thought

• 2 "offices" in the living room
• freeze bread and milk
• keep jam in fridge (also from hot country times :) )

but when we get a cat she will be banned from the bedroom.

Wow. I'm impressed! I thought I had a few snacks in...lol

@spiderlight I'm gonna need a picture of the sloth collector...

@Magpiecomplex surely not full sized ones?!

We have an area of floor we don’t walk on as thats where we eat

SimonJT can I ask if it's somehow "sectioned off", and if not what you do about visitors?

I'd be so ashamed if I inadvertently blundered over an area like that

DH has taken up woodworking as his lockdown hobby. He's started storing planks of wood (oak,walnut,etc) next to the bed. Says they need to 'acclimatise' indoors. I think he's getting obsessed.*

I feel your pain. My DH plays with wood.

Those sweeties wouldn’t last long after I had a legal cannabis cake for my arthritis 😂

@spiderlight your dog story made me laugh. I can just imagine it. They are funny creatures.

I love this thread! It's making me feel.......... normal 😅

I'm having great fun reading these although I can't say there's anything massively weird about my house

We have the Death Cupboard.
Originally, it was just a cupboard with very old photos of dead relatives who'd have mostly died before I was even born. Then OH won a full size skeleton at a work fundraiser who also lives in there. And then she won his wife the following year. We've arranged them in there on chairs and got them clothes.
So yeah.

Can't get over the fact OP thinks its weird to freeze bread 😂
