    Oh I am delighted to hear that I am not alone with the cruddy dishcloth problem. It drives me crazy when I get home from work and this disgusting old rag is sitting there, festering away with a filthy smile on its ugly face, knowing I have to put my hand in to wrestle with its putrid odour. How hard is it to clean the sides down and rinse the cloth? I'll tell you how hard. Not hard at all. But for some reason no one in my house has ever managed it. Amazing.

    Very well put EB - possibly it is probably my no 1 gross thing in my top 100 gross things, vile!

    I also have issue leaving soap in the bathroom sink rather than putting it back on soap dish, after all its only like 5 cms away!!

    I have nothing to add to this discussion apart from I made half of tonight's dinner and did all the washing up.

    If I weren't a girl, I'm fairly certain that on the basis of that, and all that has been written above, that at least 3 of you would swap me for your husbands! :p

    As it is, I should look to find an OH of my own, ergo, need money to fund social life. Hmm...
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    great news about the loan, must be fab to see it written down that there's only a year on it.

    manky dishcloths and flannels are my absolute horror, why can't men get that you need to rinse them and open them up so that they can dry? is it so hard???????

    sounds we sound horrible and ungrateful?

    LOL @ Pickle, good point!

    No LT not horrible and ungrateful................just asking for brain to engage re house-keeping (occasionally)

    Leaving towels on bath when there is a heated towel rail - please explain that one!

    Wet towel left on bed drives me insane and yes my BF is the same with dish clothes but normally he wipes the sides down with a tea towel

    But I wouldn't have Pickle as a substitute as she spends way to much money :rotfl:
