How to be a Domestic 'God'

[Scuba1]

I just dont see the point ........Do the washing up ,,,,the ironing the washing ...the floors ..........


And then



six month later one has to start all over again.............Pointless.

And anyway when there are bad times you will be glad about those dried Fussilis under the cooker . As Sir Mares once said .....just add water.

Regards

Oh..... Is there another way then? I always use two adjustable wrenches, a philips screwdriver and Mr Muscle oven cleaner on our oven.

A good tip.

I have just looked under the cooker and now managed to scub "mushrooms" off the shopping list. Cheers Michael I owe you a beer.

You take the oven into the garden and use the jet washer! Only works on a gas oven of course but it's a lot quicker (and more manly) than stripping it to pieces. If your jet washer has a soap attachment then you can even put degreaser in there and really jet the dirt off.

My house (that I rent here in Oman) is built out of concrete and breeze blocks. In the centre of every bathroom and the kitchen there is a drain. So all we need to do is hose the room down! The hall, being all tiles, is much the same except the water needs squeegeeing out of the front door.

I know landrovers were designed with a hoseable boot....just didn't realise houses were as well

This bit about learning to carve a chicken worries me:

Rehearse with housemates

Why can't you just rehearse with a roast chicken? It'll be a lot less likely to fight back.

Am I the only one who when asked to clean the cooker, wants to dismantle it in order to clean it properly?

Yes.
I don't stop at WANTING to - unlike the cursory wipe-round the other half gives it, I strip the sides off so they can get a soak in the sink.

c) cook a nice meal

Eh? SHE's meant to cook for ME? That would explain why she's the one people are always giving cookbooks to...

Hey, anyone remember that post I stuck up last year about why men don't do the housework..?
