    Talking about waste water, I did have a thought about those Fatbergs that build up in sewer pipes the other day....

    If you boiled them up with an alkali such as wood ash, you could make soap out of them :spinning:

        Aw, you are bloody lucky! Just noted the caption, "MOST husbands help with dishes"
        think I need a ring on my finger for this to work a bit better for me!


        To be fair though, he's pretty good :pathd:

          I am lucky to have two Miele dishwashers. They are soooo quiet. Hey, now I feel better - I have to deal with zone envy every day I log on here... :snorky:

            That's correct ... most husbands and ....

            ... Well, to be very fair (and honest) I used to have 2 more dishwashers ... but they went off to University. :roflol:
            Teach the children to "help" when they are young: it is *not* exploiting them :nonofinger: ; nor slavery :nonofinger: ; nor punishment :nonofinger: and it isn't because you "must really, really, *hate*" them (sheesh! The things teenagers conjure up to throw in your face :doh: ); you are teaching them valuable life skills :whistle: :heehee: :thumbsup:

            Hopefully they will be "husbands" one day and their wives will get ready trained men [​IMG]

                @CanadianLori Well now, that is impressive! Miele are beasts, double dishwasher envy! I wouldn't trade my weather for one though ;)

                @"M" Fantastic advice! You trained yours well by the sounds and will make fab hubbies.. one day! (They gotta enjoy uni first see! ;)) Shall try to teach mine young.. although the lil lady is 10 in 3 months :thud: and refuses to do anything unless there's something in it for her!

                @miraflores I like it, my new excuse. "Conserving water" :biggrin:
