Meantime Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Speaking of which, anyone noticed how Andrew started this thread and then left us all to run amok with it, and to be frank, I still have no ruddy idea how much it costs to run a mok. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi Meantime I like what you've said about me letting this Thread Run amok well as I intended to say It saves us time washing up the Meat Dish as to using the Tesco's Meat foil and to relax a bit more which was my aim. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bribe them with a little pocket money and they do all the household menial chores such as washing up, whilst the parents relax with a glass of wine. Doh! I wasn't going to mention wine again for at least a day. Now look what you've made me do. No MT, the whole point of having kids is to love them, nurture them and help them to become the very best they can be. Failing that, they are good for all menial chores for which they get paid very little pocket money to teach them the value of hard earned cash. That's when one sits back with a glass of wine content in the knowledge you have done your very best to tire them out in order for a good nights sleep Another thread turned into utter chaos, absolutely loving it x 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Going back to dishwashers, I have a Miele and this has a tray at the top. It slides over to one side to allow for tall stemmed glasses to be stacked on the top basket shelf. So no problem with the cutlery. However, the burning question of the day is - who empties the darn thing. Ok stacking it but emptying it and putting it all away , it is another ball game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Alas I can answer your question Dave, for it is I. Like all husbands I am like Cinderella and empty the thing while the kettle boils for the lady of the house' tea in bed! But one day I shall go to the ball... 😂😂😂 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing if you have a washing machine they go in with the daily, weekly wash, other time spans are available. Fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got married you was lucky to have a twin tub washing machine, sheets etc got washed in the bath, oh and I am still using the Pyrex dishes we had as wedding presents.

Probably completely wrong but I pronounce Miele Meelay. Some people say Meeler. Bit like Porche being pronounced Porsh or Porsher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby's Dad always put them in the loft when they conked out because they might come in handy one day. What the devil for I cannot think. How did we get from Disposable Meat Foil Trays to spin driers. I do think we ought to get out more. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that some folk’s bodies are unable to produce sufficient alcohol naturally, so have to top it up daily to maintain the necessary level, a bit like taking vitamin supplements. Could that be true? 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I do like these threads that completely go off the rails in a happy way during the winter months. It helps to keep us all sane (though you wouldn't think it sometimes by the content). Better than those threads that used to surface this time of the year to just bash something (usually the BA). 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
