I’ve adopted a different strategy for dishwasher loading - mine is so shambolic, Mrs J has banned me from dishwasher loading duties - Bonus!!

Didn't your father teach you that, before you got married? Be an effective house-keeper and you'll always be one, screw everything up and she'll do it herself. 

 

They say women are smart. They're not that smart

Not a peeve but i did chuckle when i had a catch up with an old oppo of mine who happened to be working in the same street.

I always knew that Statutory training of his lads was never very high on his to do list, as he prefers to train them himself, so after we had put the tree world to rights, I commented on the number of nptc stickers plastered on every available panel and piece of glass on his latest truck.

He shrugged off my remark by saying his grandson gets them off eBay for him around .10p each.

Ha Ha very true,

A friend of mine has the same idea. He moved in with his Mrs and every time he used the washing machine he put it on a boil wash so everything shrank. It cost him about £80 to replace the original clothing but he hasn't been "allowed" to use any white goods since then, over 25 years ago now. and very happily married they are too!

In 28 years of marriage I don’t think I’ve ever used the washer, in the distant past I think I did load the dishwasher occasionally, don’t think i’ve Ever done it at our current home (lived here 15 years) I did cook a meal once, about 20 years ago when my wife put her back out.

I always cook the meat on the barby though?

I cleaned my daughters bbq once, that’s the closest I’ve been to one [emoji106]

comes to somethin when you have to get a dishwasher to do the dishes..  I do my dishes five minutes before I need em..

 

take em out the sink and give em a good wipe down with a damp cloth, takes a minute..   eat my dinner and let the dog clean em a bit more....    I always have two plates on the boil, hide the rest..   less temptation to fill the sink with the damn things, goes for all other cutlery, two of everything on show at any one time.. cups I keep to the one..  

 

If you use a spartan set up like I do, you'll never be in need of a mechanical dish washer...   ?️

I did the same thing, although not on purpose....that’s only because I didn’t think of it though ?
