WIBU to throw all the fucking crockery away?

Except for my coffee mug of course.

Between the children and the bastarding cats there have been several pot casualties this last week. I don't buy expensive dishes, for obvious reasons. However I'm down to three plates and two bowls again we're not even going to mention the ovenware ok?

I've been eyeing up some enamel camping plates and bowls, as even the most destructive of my cats will have a job shattering one of those on the kitchen tiles at three in the sodding morning. There are some rather fetching navy blue ones, or I may go for the classic white with white rim sort.

The only plus side to the plight of my pot cupboard right now is that there's precious few dishes to do after dinner! :o

I'd shoot the cat and buy nice crockery.

Plastic plates,bowls and cups for the dc.

Was fed up of replacing a whole set everyting.

If I shot that cat there would be three more to ascend to his glorious height of clumsy stupidity! The kitten in particular gives zero fucks for The Rules and will climb wherever she thinks will offer a good vantage point for jumping on the other three. The seven year old boy and the toddler are not known for their delicate way of clearing their plates either.

I should raid that 'we want plates' site for some ideas. Just no bloody crockery.

Yeah, cheap picnic shit for them. Get nice stuff for you and hide it some where.

DP lost a plate (???) and then kept leaving his dirty crockery everywhere so that the food hardened into cement so I made him use paper plates for a month. I wish I was joking. Watching a grown man eat soup out of the pot rather than just wash a fucking bowl pushed me to breaking point.

GrizzlebertGrumbledink · 24/07/2015 18:54

We have apparently unbreakable ones, I think they're toughened glass

kinkyfuckery · 24/07/2015 18:57

Stop leaving the crockery out overnight for the cats to knock over!

chickenfuckingpox · 24/07/2015 18:58

I have asda smart price plates and bowls, I'm not the most delicate of creatures but these are practically indestructible, I think I've broken a total of one plate in the 8 years I've had them.

yy to plastic. We've got plastic cups for the kids, I was so sick of replacing glasses. Dh and I drink out of plastic cups most of the time Blush dh's favourite is a Lego movie hologram one that came fee with a happy meal Grin

With regards to crockery.. Sainsburys bog standard chunky white stuff lasts for ages. I got two sets for £9 each a couple of years ago in the sales and still have most of it. Elegant it ain't, but it works.

Enamel sounds great. Charity shop the last of your set and buy a whole new enamel set. White with blue rim. That would be very camp-y and cool.
