    But that's a good 3.5 hours - especially if you didn't want to leave.

    ahem.... I think you will find that they are swimming underwater and having a fab time chasing the bubbles! sheesh - men! you have obviously never had to explain this to a small child...:rolleyes:

    and the reason for the washing is to keep the dust mites down, sometimes they went exploring the north pole (the freezer) and they always managed to find him an ice lolly.:D

    Must admit, I don't have one either. Good job really - kitchen is far too small already. Though I'd make room for a dishwasher... :D
