I have been known to go into a strop and threaten to throw away something I have just cooked as it has not worked out as planned.
My house is a complete mess :roll:

I am very perfectionist, especially when it comes to writing. When I write stories, I end up re-writing them about five or six times and they still aren't the way I want them. I have to have things perfect or whatever I planned will just backfire and I end up getting frustrated and walking away.
