How do I get myself into these things?


We were looking through my DVD collection at the weekend- bought ones, and stuff I’d recorded off telly - and Philippa asked why I have 40 episodes of ‘CountDown’ saved on disc.
I don’t like to lie to my beloved but I can’t say “I tape it everyday to see what Rachel is wearing and if I like what she’s wearing, I keep it” can I?
So I said I’m a fanatic for anagrams and I tape it so I can do the conundrum. (In my defence, most of the episodes date from before Philippa and I got together, when I needed them for personal reasons that I won’t go into here.)
But now she thinks that on top of all my other obsessions I’m also into anagrams. So I’ve had to start doing anagrams so it looks like I am obsessed, and through that I’ve found that I really do like them and now I am becoming a bit obsessed with them!!!
I keep noticing words that are anagrams of other words and in bored moments at work I’ve started re-arranging product names in my head, purely for my own amusement. While I search online for a relevant therapist, here’s a few that I came up with today:


SHREDDED WHEAT becomes DR. H. DEATHWEEDS
TOMATO KETCHUP becomes PACKET TO MOUTH
FAIRY WASHING POWDER becomes HAIR WISP? GAY FROWNED
