Yes, but we've heard about your sexual habits before.

What about the butter?

Apparently in the grocery trade it's known as "Fuck me, It's Marge". I'm sure it was someone on this board that enlightened me to that fact.

me and the her indoors have completely seperate butters. i don't have a particular thing about how it's extracted from the tub, but it's the toast crumbs she puts in there. bluugh. i only have butter on toast, i tend not to have it in sandwiches anyway.

So what is it about the substitutes all tasting foul on toast, I wonder?

I note that there's general agreement amongst the cholestrol lowering brigade (including me) that the substitute's simply not tolerable when it comes to toast.

If you are then i must be too. I have different butters for different foods. Like you it has to spread from the tub neatly, and foil put back and folded under lip before replacing the lid. 'im indoors says its another of my OCD moments. He deliberatly delves into it with the back of a dessert spoon and butters his bread with the back of a spoon.
I'm quite particular about alot of things e.g All knives have to face the same way, same with coathangers. And i'm a proper nazi about having a neat tidy bed. He really is an untidy sleeper.

I don't make my bed in the morning. I leave my duvet thrown back all day, as it prevents bed bugs and dampness caused by not letting the body heat and moisture dissipate.

Oh that would bug me all day, knowing the bed was unmade. I can't believe i'm going to admit to this. I am such a nazi about it that i have woken him in the night. I do it gently a nudge here and there, then he gets up for a wee. While he's missing the pan i can remake the bed and fluff the pillows. If he's still in bed and refuses to get up before i leave the house for work i make the bed around him.

My family is part-vegan, part-idiotic, part-health conscious, so we've always had Flora or Olive spread, and I have to admit I don't mind either. Flora in particular goes very nicely on hot toast, and so long as I have a decent amount of Marmite or other, you don't notice the difference.

When at uni I used Low-Salted Flora, which while rubbery, had a particular taste to it that I liked for some reason.

They have blocks of butter in work -- proper butter --- which is horrible to spread cos its so hard and I actually don't like the taste.

Oh...and I dig it out in nuggets.

Aaaah but i hoover my mattress at least twice a week because of the bedbug thing and hang the pillows on the line during cold winter days or bung them in the freezer for an hour or 2. It kills the bugs. I may consider airing the bed during the day. So long as it looks neat.
