Reply To: The last ten years of contamination and checking ocd. And where I seem to be now

Hi all, Today, I visited a supermarket. I was aware of myself not really wanting to place anything on the floor… Not my basket, the bottles of milk, and the carrier bag… I do love food shopping… I never go when I am hungry… I find that this way I actually spend less… I’m very cost savvy. And, as I do the catering in our house, I’m planning food groups days in advance. Our kitchen is not tidy, but then, if it was, I wouldn’t be able to find anything… As far as the freezers and fridge go, I have a pretty good idea of what we have, and where it is all stored. In the chest freezer, I have three large carrier bags, the food segregated into each, and written on a contents list. I then know where to look… I’m good at cooking food. I wash hands before starting, and then only if I have something sticky on my fingers. You can do it this way too… It has never harmed anyone during my lifetime…  Remembering to lock the car is a good one…  Something I do get annoyed with, is the coffee water dispenser… It never fills the cups properly, and I always find myself needing to refill the cold water reservoir on the back… You can get them to take fancy ‘pods’ , or sachets… But the water filling is a right pain in the bum…  Tonight it is a short text… I have been working on the construction of my website for quite literally hours today, but it is nearly ready now… The dustbins were a challenge… They are stored in a dark passageway behind my home, so I have to use the torch on my phone, so I put everything in the correct coloured bin…  You can do this… Just get the phone light on first, it saves it being fiddly when you are also trying to open the top of the bin…  At some point, I will again do a tip run, for my sons… Taking stuff in the car, to chuck in the skips is quite therapeutic…

Okay, more later,
