If any diy is being done then I will not be able to accept any crooked or asymmetric or missing bits. Curtains too short or bumps in the wallpaper would drive me nuts.

But I definitely would not have my tins pointing a certain way or have an organised underwear draw. A bit of dust is not going to ruin my day.

I think as you get older you have to accept that you cannot fix everything but it's a shame when things you've looked after start falling apart and you can do nothing about it. So I'd want to downsize if that happens.

Re: Perfection

OK, I'm going to be brutally honest here... I'm not a perfectionist in most things, I'm pretty reasonable and easy going.

Exceptions being my eye makeup, and one other thing.

If I have to read you're (which in case you didn't know is short for you are) when it should be your
Or definatly instead of definitely
Or pony's instead of the correct plural of pony which, in case you didn't know, is ponies, one more time...

Actually I think I've just had a moment!!
