    When putting things into the freezer do not leave it unlabelled under the impression that you will remember what the contents are. Of course you won't.

    Yup, we've experienced Freezer Roulette on more than one occasion....

    Never use a 90 degree wash on trainers...

    As a student a housemate of mine had seriously stinky trainers so he decided to wash them in the WM...on a 90 degree wash to "kill the bacteria". Neither survived the wash!

    Son put a frozen pizza in the oven without removing the polystyrene base.



    Another lodger (doing her PhD, but remarkably stupid all the same) did that and was in a right snit with me because I was more worried about the baking tray than her pizza.


    Loved the couscous and sesame seed one!
    Better is good enough.

    Also guilty of the pizza-polystyrene base oven fail.

    Forget to check the warming oven for any leftover dishes-twice.
    -One Christmas we found the red cabbage on Boxing Day.
    -At university we were so proud of completing our first house Sunday lunch. A week later we found the leftover veggie slice sitting in the bottom oven still waiting to be served.

    Don't put jelly in the fridge to set without checking that the bowl is properly balanced and won't fall over when you shut the fridge door.

    Don't make your breakfast without concentrating, or you might pour hot water onto your cereal and fill your teacup with milk.

    Don't drop fish pie on the floor when you take it out of the microwave.
    Don't try cleaning the water in the goldfish bowl with cold water sterilising tablets

    Don't leave shopping bags on kitchen table whilst you put the kettle on then go into the hall to hang up your coat, if you have a cat and there's salmon in the bag!;)

    Don't put a bar of white soap in the fridge thinking it's a block of cheese.
