We redesigned the kitchen about 3 years ago based on the fact that there were just the two of us. I didn't really think it through properly because I regularly cook for all the family. I just don't have room for a dishwasher. I also said at the time that I didn't need one. Scratch that.

[Glutton4...]

I never 'needed' a dishwasher. I remember teasing my Mother-in-Law about having one when there was just the two of them. Her response at the time, was that they both worked full-time, and life was too short to stand at the sink. Also, there were plenty of other things she'd rather be doing with her time. Have to say, I soon changed my view when we started living together - Mr.G may be a fab cook but he's an untidy s*d. Also, I HAAAAAAAATE washing up!

[Bren In Pots]

We've never had a dishwasher daughters had one and they seemed to keep all there pots and dishes in it instead of using the cupboard.

[Florence Fennel]

Himself usually washes up after us two, but when I cook for the family it's left to me!

[Bren In Pots]

Flo you'll have to delegate

[Florence Fennel]

Now that's something I find hard to do, because they just don't do it the way I like it. By the time I've finished supervising (bossy c*w that I am), I may as well have done it myself

I was going to take a pic on my run of the park in the sunshine, just for RL. but by the time I reached the particularly picturesque bit by one of the pools, the sun had gone in.

I was unsure about a dishwasher when the kitchen was done a couple of years ago, but I'm glad I went for it.

My dishwasher is invaluable when I have a dinner party - ooh, get me (doesn't happen that often) mostly it is put on a quick 30 min wash for glasses and cups but I certainly wouldn't be without mine.

[Florence Fennel]

You've all got me thinking that maybe I should have been born with bigger feet

[Glutton4...]

OK, that's enough about dishwashers. Mine's buried under 'stuff' in the shed.

And Now For Something Completely Different. How do you stop a Springer Spaniel humping the cushions when you're not there? Daughter is distraught and resorting to neutering Chester next month (when she can afford it). I've told her about commanding him and distracting him, but short of moving all the cushions when she goes out, is there anything else you can think of?

Anyway, on that thought, I is off on the game for a bit. I may be back, but if not, see you all tomorrow, enjoy your evening

[Bren In Pots]

Remove the cushions

sorry Flo I couldn't help it.

[bearded bloke]

[Bigmallly]

[binley100]

While BB is going off on a tangent......

today I've labelled jars and put them away, sleared out some empty boxes, sowed some seeds , cooked dinner ........

re the dishwasher thing ........we have one , if anyone else actually puts stuff in it I always end up reloading it cos they never do it right
