Not much then PG, it's your CDO tendancies coming into play.

Just a little

Just wondering who will be the 1st to ask what CDO means

to be fair theres also the bigger 5ltr containers sitting in my shed whereas the rest down at the parents in 2 big boxes

I'm so glad you asked that!

CDO is like OCD but the letters have been correctly arranged into alphabetical order which seems so much more appropriate!
