    Don't talk to me about fruit bowls!!!!!! :eek: :o

    I don't think I've ever owned one that hasn't become a dumping ground for all manner of non-fruit-like alien objects!!!!! :eek:

    When they start to overflow with alien objects the contents get tipped into a box/plastic tub - and yes, you guessed it, there a numerous boxes/plastic tubs of alien objects stashed in the shed :rotfl:

    I won't even start on any other confessions :o

    I started reading this thread last night and ended up laughing like a drain. Then realised I hadnt laughed like that for ages. So my confession is my spare room. Its called the Tardis. I chuck something in then it disappears. There is all sorts in there. A bed, a dismantled computer desk, boxes of ornaments, a summer duvet, Mums stuff from when she went into care, Xmas deccies, and many other varied items. Trouble is when my bil and sil come to stay I have to sleep in there.

    sillyvixen, my OH's mum says that too - she also doesn't wash clothes between Christmas and New Year. I wish she'd told me that I wasn't allowed to use the washing machine before we went there over Christmas/New year with only hand luggage... :eek:

    yeah she says the christmas and new year thing with washing as well.

    Hmmn, whilst reading this thread I was struck by how many people were having takeaway pizza's - thats a coincidence I thought - then I realised - you dont need cutlery or plates do you - brilliant. (Think might change our mind about our Indian takeaway tonight)

    Have to admit house is not too bad at the moment but I have a thing about letting mine & DD's hair pile up in the shower plug - ifykwim - & leaving it for OH to remove - it really turns my stomach.

    Off now to find the number for the pizza place.

    I have just got chocolate on my only clean jumper so I will have to a) wash one before tomorrow or b) sponge the choccy with a damp flannel.

    Sponge? I use the method recommended by Dame Edna Everage - suck the chocolate out! Works every time!

    PS. Wash ... car? Iron .... clothes?
