    I'll copy you across my research, you can crib from that. Perhaps you can swap the tablets with a friend who has something you want

    Why thankyou Madam. Obviously I do not condone cheating in any shape or form but in the name of research only, then on this occasion I may partake in a few untruths, although I was looking forward to frantically making a whirlpool in the bath tub to try and get the plates cleanand then providing them with my unorthodox methods of research !!! :rotfl:

    I have enjoyed reading all of your antics today.:D

    One of my most stupid money saving ideas was putting a squirt of washing up liquid in to the dishwasher. My mother's friend swore by it but when I tried I had bubbles across the kitchen floor just like in a comedy. It took three runs through to get rid of them.

    Oh yes, I remember doing that. Don't forget the sick feeling as you're clearing it all up that you might have irreparably broken the dishwasher...
