To think that if you have a clock on the mantlepiece it needs to go in the middle?

Or am I being anal? My children say so. I don't think I am, but I need support from the MN jury. How could the clock go on one end? That would be wrong.

Right now it goes plant, photo frame, photo frame, CLOCK, photo frame, body sort of sculpture thing, flowers.

But clock in the middle. Yes?!

nope. I am ridiculously happy and am likely to love you forever Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 06/02/2012 19:35

So we are all agreed then

Clock in the middle?

Did anyone else mis-read the title as 'cock' and then wondered where it was going when anal appeared so quickly?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 06/02/2012 19:38

Knitting needles?
V?
Clock at the side?

Yes Rather it is a unanimous yes to clock in the middle if you don't count the 'jaunty put it on the end' folk Hurrah! Grin

This has to be the nicest AIBU thread there has been for a while. Smile

StarlightDicKenzie · 06/02/2012 19:45

2 fifths along.

DH and I have arguments about it regularly. He thinks it should go in the middle - freak!

luvviemum · 06/02/2012 19:45

Would totally freak me out if it were anywhere but the middle - just not right! YANBU.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 06/02/2012 19:45

I've just taken off my lilies, they are actually on the deader side of being alive... Now my arrangement is wonky.......

Too late Starlight. The motion has been passed. Grin

StarlightDicKenzie · 06/02/2012 19:50

Did it go to the house of laffs (aka Starlight and her anti-anal protection squad?)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 06/02/2012 19:52

without my flowers I have had to do some rejigging........
clock is still centre ville...

Sparklingbrook · 06/02/2012 19:52

Grin starlight. But honestly, two fifths? Shock

PenguinArmy · 06/02/2012 19:53

to add to your judgement of me, I prefer things to be asymmetrical i.e. my clock wouldn't be in the centre.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 06/02/2012 19:53

Starlight - do you use a tape measure? Be honest...

In fact I hate ordered, even spaced out mantel pieces and shelves

one of my fireplaces is entirely covered in hops pomthebearmn.blogspot.com/

No triangles or height order or graph paper at all.
Sometimes there is a small bear.

Triangles are still best though

PenguinArmy · 06/02/2012 19:55

evenly not even Blush

RatherBeOnThePiste

They are my naice wooden knitting needles, so a sort of variation of twiggy shit if that helps?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 06/02/2012 19:56

It's OK Penguin - we can't hear you because you've walked away!
Pardon?
Wot?
