The charity is personally important to Mr Gouldsmith who lost his identical twin brother Jonathan following a head injury. Jonathan was knocked down and killed by a taxi in Llanelli while on leave from the army in April 2011. He was 24 years old. Clearly an important lesson was learned then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 RE dishwashers; I also think that washing dishes in a sink is quite relaxing. But ultimately I'm lazy and pretty much everything goes in the dishwasher. My gripe is appliances that are now built to only last a few years. In the last few years i had to replace an oven and dishwasher that were both only 4 years old (don't buy Smeg), and the missus made us get an expensive condenser washing machine (we don't have a suitable vent space for a tumble drier) a few years ago that is already sounding a bit dodgy. I'm sick of this culture of disposability. I don't expect things to last 20 years, but surely 5 - 10 years is reasonable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Generally speaking I do the cooking (because I like cooking) and my wife takes the baby to get her bathed and changed, ready for bed etc after tea, whilst I sit and put on some music, or an audiobook or the radio, finish off whatever drink I had with tea and usually pour myself another one and just relax and clean the dishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect them to last years without maintenance either, but there's no service plan available like with MOT's with a car so far as I know, or clear instructions on what to do. After you call someone out to have a look it's usually cheaper just to buy a new one. Pleased to say we recently got a 40ish year old microwave fixed by Duncans in Inverness for not very much, they said it's still better quality than the new ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I agree with jmothecat's stance. Personally I love to do all the cooking. It gets me out of doing a lot of other rubbish stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I clean my bath once a week, as does my wife, so it gets clean twice a week and it takes more than seconds. About five minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
