I was just wondering if you wouldn’t mind deleting my above comment? Or, if you can, just delete my surname out of it and keep “Heather”. Thank you :)

My biggest thank you is for the reassurance to my fiancé that I am not the only crazy/neurotic person on the planet! Yes, whilst I might be slightly more OCD than some (checking light switches, cant leave the house or a room until the clocks are an even number, colour coded book, dvd and wardrobe system, avoidance of the number 4, checking the front door is closed 6 times before I leave, oh and the hand washing - yes my list does go on an on!...) its great to know that we are more alike than we realise, people at the end of the day are all very interesting characters!! As a side note, I love your column every Sunday - its the first and sometimes the only thing that engages me from the paper. A BIG thank you for inspiring me to think on a Sunday :) What a great article! My biggest thank you is for the reassurance to my fiancé that I am not the only crazy/neurotic person on the planet!

You are right, it feels so good when we see that reflected in pop culture, makes us feel like we fit in, somewhere, sideways. i always include the movie Sideways for one that utterly charms, based on the flawed, and therefore, real characters.

I don't really have any neurotic nuances, but only because I am not precise or consistent in any way, which is not necessarily a good thing! I love the article Sarah.

Lol I actually smiled as i read this :) I'm definitely neurotic, as a kid I got to the point of washing my hands all the way up to my elbows. Glad I'm over that! I have many more random symptoms but my most recent is the obsession with coloured pegs. Basically when I hang my washing, I just can't see two pegs of the same colour beside each other. For some reason we have blue, red and white pegs at my place and I just BURN when I see two blues together. Oh one of the weirdest things is when I went through a stage at about 12, where I would try to do everything with my left hand after doing it with my right. I'm naturally right handed, but I became so obsessed, it started off with little things like scratching my right knee, then having to scratch my left with the opposite hand, I got so good lol that nowadays I can do almost everything with both hands, in fact yesterday at the gym I realised during my boxing class that my left punch is stronger than my right :-/ Okay, I guess it's safe to say I've officially lost the plot lol!

I could not stop laughing and my head was nodding in agreement. What a great idea to 'let our neurotic-ness hang out. I hope it is o.k. I referenced it on my blog and spoke about my own foibles. Is that kosha? The bogey under the bed is probably everyones foible including me, but more so when I lived in a two storey house (until recently) I would happily go downstairs in the early dark hours of the night/morning without switching on any lights to get a drink or whatever, on return I would put my foot on the bottom step (16 steps in all) and I would immediately get the feeling a monster was coming behind me, so much so I could feel their creepy hand on me. I would fly up those stairs two at a time (and I am not young). Monster never got me but I am sure he was very very close sometimes.
