HAHA
Dont set me off.
Never married but engaged twice.
Could say that the relationships dint last, but then I could say I had 2 very lucky escapes.

Dysons (for doing the house work before someone gets smart (Lizie)) and Dishwashers are wonderfull things.

"Dishwashers"?!!!! For one person Skruntie?! All it takes is a bowl of hot water, washing up liquid, a scourer, and, if you want to protect your soft hands, a pair of Marigolds!

Get a good woman in your life to control you...you need it!

Nooooo.
I have it all worked out.
The plan is that I am buying a dishwasher when I move (12 Place settings)
Then I buy 2 crockery sets and 2 cutlery sets.
So basically I set off with an empty DWsher and slowly fill it up as the week goes on.
Now the problem I have (which is where a woman would come in handy) is whether I buy 6/8/12 place setting for the cutlery and crockery.
With a 6 piece, I would have to start on set 2 before the end of the week.
But with an 8 piece I would have 1 place setting that never gets used. (But at least I have a spare n case of breakage.
Now being practical, I could but 2 x 6 place, and alternate the schemes till the DW is full, therefore making for an economical use of the DW.
But I am planning a diet, and rather than go for a fad diet, I would rather change my food portions. This would mean I would only use small plates. Which would then mean I would need 3 x 8 place's as I would want 24 small plates.
You see now that I am thinking like a woman, I have to stop and think why???
Why spend £350 on a dishwasher
Why buy multiple sets of cutlery and crockery.
Why not just buy picnic knifes and forks (Plastic disposable) and paper plates.
Then all I need is the odd roll of bin liners and it's all sorted.
Simplicity.
Why complicate life with a woman in it.
Because we bring beauty, culture and sophistication to any given situation, and would also have wonderful cutlery and crockery that would bring sunshine to your life every time you sit down for a meal

.
Plastic knives, forks, and paper plates indeed!

How can you even consider them for everyday use outside of a BBQ! Think of the environment if not yourself; you poor man, you need that special woman desparately!
