to think that sometimes we just want to be involved in a lighthearted thread?

To everyone who responds with "Is this all you have to worry about", well no, but why does everything in your life have to be high drama / of utmost seriousness?
Sometimes, you use AIBU just to vent a little about something that winds you up!

Stealth your babies are beautiful

I am slowly filtering out the wooden pegs that I thought looked nice but got mouldy because I cba to bring them in every time it rained. Colour-coding is officially mental though

My Very Serious Ishooos Of Today are I need a wee, but am watching Gilmore Girls and just missed an ad-break opportunity to go to the loo. Now I'm stuck for another 15 mins.

Oblomov dives into the peg basket. throws them all up in the air with gay abandon. laughing as she mixes them all up.
Then pours the OCD ladies a stiff drink.
Form an orderly queue ladies. Oh sorry, of course, you already have / don't know how to do otherwise.

Sorry. Couldn't 'elp meself.

Thank you ALibaba

How is everyone getting on my profile though? Not that I mind, but I did provide a direct link to that picture didn't I?

Oblomov

Is there nothing anal you do? (no pun intended, it's not even 11am!)

Sorry, can't really join in on the peg thing, I can't be arsed to go outside so my washing all goes in the tumble drier.

Having said that, the pegs that I own are different colours but must be all the same style, and pretty ones that aren't too cheap and rectangular.

BUT going back to your question, YANBU. I have a shit load of horrible things to think about, but MN tends to be an escape from that for me. I have RL friends to whinge to about the awful things (dead baby et. al.) but much prefer to keep the peg/ramekin debate for the computer. All this passive aggressive "you haven't enough on your plate" business is just arrogant and grim. (That is, unless you're fuming because your 16 year old is having sex, in which case, perhaps you should be focusing on your bigger problems a little.)

ohh er bubba
oh yes, lots, I'm sure. tries to think. can't think of anything at the moment. but i'm sure there is.

no. I don't think i do. My problem is that i'm more slobby than anal.
i am sat here in my dressing gown. and if food falls on the floor i just pick it up and eat it.
best i don't tell you anymore of my slobby habits.

that's not slobby, that's normal

what about the fridge? anything anal there (ooh, I'm giggling away to myself - and Gilmore Girls is just not that funny)

fridge anal ?
what does that consist of ?

anything cold and kinky?

No, I mean like beers on the bottom shelf and yogurts on the top? I don't know, clutching at straws here - you can't be all slob?!

Bubba. Did you not notice that the sheets were all matching colours

beers everywhere. we have a beer and wine fridge in the shed aswell.
no pattern. i like a full fridge. makes me feel .... happy. I like when you can only fit a ... paperclip in because there's no room.
you go to the fridge and you don't know what to eat first coz theree's so many nice bits.
i have home made pasta salad, a watermelon, 2 galia melons and a packet of peppered beef, on the same shelf.
tis clean, though.

Now matching colour sheets is just slobbiness in its extreme - it means no separating of colours for when you wash them when they start climbing off the bed in disgust at their own filth--

Right I am now going to report Oblomov you are giving me anxiety attacks with your disorderly fridge

I am slowly going for all the same colour of pegs, as ones break (cheap plastic) I replace them with some from the 3 packets of Orange ones my MIL bought me.

Oh fuck now I'm asking myself have I nothing better to do

I want to worry about peg:washing co-ordination.

'Tis raining here and I have 3 loads of washing to dry.

Cheap this is our first dry/sunny day in 3 weeks that is why it was fresh in my mind this morning

How did my thread get hijacked into a washing/drying/pegs threads? Don't you lot have anything less serious to worry about?

I haven't even got pegs, think yourselves lucky

Can we all send dt a peg? If every MNer sends her a peg today then she will spend all of tomorrow opening them have plenty

We'll make the news again 'mumsnetters rescue pegless Trout'.

don't make light of this Kurri there is an MNer in anguish over there, she is probably sobbing at her keyboard, clutching her empty peg bag

I don't even have a peg bag to clutch wwwaaaaahhhhhhhh

OK now you're just trying it on and taking advantage of our good natures

Did you know pegs are made in sweat shops Stealth????? The ethical way to put out your washing is to hold it on the line with your teeth.
