I have to cut all my food up into bits the same size and always leave, what I consider to be, the best bit of food til last. Then I eat 2 of each thing.

Hubby finds it hilarious – especially the dilemma I have if the bits are cut into odd numbers!

Other than that I run ...

Mr Shimmy sings songs to the fish and the terrapin when he feeds them

Cute little songs like, (to the tune of Pigeon Street) Terry is a terrapin, swimming in his little tank.

Jeeez. These are the sorts of things you should only find out about people once you've moved in with them. And even then.

I talk to my cats, too, though they're both dead. The response is the same.

So you don't want to move in with me then?

What start out as funny, endearing, quirky little ways when you first get to know, later drive you up the fecking wall.

my hubby has to stir hot drinks clockwise with the spoon, if he sees me stir the wrong way he has to restir it the right way!!!!

Oooh, I just remembered when I make a hot drink I tap the spoon on the side of the mug/cup and am compelled to do it.

Eva, couldn't agree more. Although the fish and terrapin songs are cute.

When I'm in a lift I hold my breath until I reach my floor.

When I'm in a plane that's taking off, I hold my breath until the scary bit is over!

ooh thats just reminded me when i'm on a plane if it banks over i try to lean the other way pressing down on the arm rest as if i could possibly level it back up!!! I do need lots of gin and tonics when flying other wise i'm very scary!!!

I don't mind flying, just when it gets bumpy I lift my feet off the floor, shut my eyes, and imagine I'm in a jeep on a bumpy road.

my husband has this alarming habit of mixing everything together so it's a jumbled mess.

Ooh my nan used to that. She'd start off with a Sunday roast and end up with a peculiar pyramid of mush which was stained pink because for some reason she use to like beetroot with it

moomoo, last time i flew when i started to panic i just imagined i was in a bus on a bumpy road and it worked a treat ! calmed right down! My hubby couldn't believe how different i was! not lifted my feet up off the floor though will try that next time see if it helps too

I love flying, I love watching the ground disappear at take-off and waiting for the bump on landing

Only ever had one mildly uneasy moment when I thought we weren't going to stop - turns out Calgary airport has a long runway. The pilot was slowing the plane down gradually instead of slamming the engines into reverse.

I wish I could be like that screamapillar, i know my fear is irrational but i work hard trying to control it and I don't let it stop me travelling!! I just can't enjoy it as much as i'd like! I do love the meals on planes though they're the best, not had a bad one yet!

I can quite understand why people are scared of flying tracky - I don't think it's irrational at all .

What's wrong with sucking your own nipples, JB?

I find it rather comforting......

Although I sometimes get nervous in bumpy flights, I love looking at the fluffy clouds from above
