    You make the kids hold your rings while you wash up?! What if they drop them. :rolleyes: I'd just make the kids wash up if it was me ;)

    glad to see your on form morty, :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: at least if they are stood there holding them they are not doing anything else. and i've seen them wash up, takes a week for the large amount of bubbles to disappear from the sink/worktops/floor/ceiling, and hours to chisel off the food they thought was part of the decoration of the plates. and they can't believe people actually wash cutlery!!!!!!!!!
