When my wife and I go off together we wash dishes by hand, but at home there are 6 or 7 of us, and we use dishwashers. We have 2 dishwashers, so that we can separate the plates that we use for milk and meat. Personally, I'd prefer to go vegetarian and just have the one set of dishes, but we have some meat eaters in the house. (Yes, before you ask, two sinks! But only one oven.)PasturesNew wrote: »Poshness alert!
Pastures, it's not posh, it's Kosher.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

It's really SWMBO who is very keen on religion. I take no credit in that department.
The dishwasher is a big help as I am permitted to stick everything in, then wait for SWMBO to inspect it and decide that it's full enough for me to be allowed to turn it on. The plates, glasses and cutlery all come out clean, but saucepans sometimes need an extra scrub, and oven dishes usually do. Despite that, with loads of people in the house, it saves a lot of time. It's also economical in water usage - much cheaper than washing up by hand and rinsing under the tap.
Incidentally, and this is really big news, so pay attention everybody: SWMBO thinks she may have come up with a use for tumble dryer fluff! Something to do with using it as a blanket to keep plants warm in winter. What do the NP think?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

I've had that smell appearing in my house, up through the drains.... luckily it was just the once. Never did anything about it as I had no idea how the drains were laid out or how many might feed into it .... and it didn't happen a second time.vivatifosi wrote: »NPs, a quick question if I may. I've come home and there's a chemical smell in the house. Having been around the boundary with a torch, it looks like someone has lifted the drain at the side of the house and poured white spirit down it. Any idea what I need to do. I've tried looking up on the local council website, but somewhat unhelpfully am getting a 404 error.0 -

Oh, I know nothing of that. If I were asked to say everything I knew about kosher I'd say " er... there's meat, kosher meat".... and that's the limit of my knowledge. I'm 2% guessing that's Jewish, but not really up to speed with religious stuff at all.Pastures, it's not posh, it's Kosher.

I have loads of first cousins - 11 on my dad's side, and 5 full plus 4 half-cousins on my mum's side. Almost all of them are married with kids, and in some cases grandkids. My kids have 5 cousins - all on my side because LNE was an only child.

E-reader - Got one recently. It's great!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
