and on a scale of 1-10 how slatternly is this?

[StealthPolarBear]

Our dishwasher died last weekend and since then I have been washing the sodding dishes all week (obviously). New dishwasher arrives on Sunday and we are out tomorrow. So, how slatternly would it be to leave tonight's dinner dishes until then?? After all it'll need testing with some proper dried on pasta sauce won't it??
Go on, I can handle some 10s

i leave my pots for days on end if im out and about, sometimes almost a week!!

I have never had a dishwasher or a tumble drier. I would love to say it's cos I'm trying to save the planet but in reality it's cos I'm just too bloody poor!

If you had an empty dishwasher in your kitchen now, would you put the dishes in tonight & then switch it on to wash on Sunday when it was full, Yes? if so 0/10

Ours only goes on every couple of days normally anyway, my excuse is it's more eco-friendly to use it only when full

YANBU or a slattern IMHO

well do you know what dd is asleep but i just can't be bothered. please polish my slattern badge

Go the whole hog and leave them till monday...Sunday is lazy day

Once you start you don't stop - just looked in my cutlery drawer which is a bit dirty and needs a clean out, think I'll just buy a new one

Stealth! I am shocked!

100/10 in my book.

can you do mine too - I think all my dusters have been in the washing basket for a year waiting for the day I decide to do a "bright yellow" wash

Lol at bright yellow wash.

I do mine by hand straight after use.

Actually, my favourite dusters/cloths are made from old flannelette sheets. Bring your bathroom suite up a treat too, especially if you use a dry one to wipe/polish after cleaning.

I have no life...

Now, don't be making crumbs with that there biscuit please, snow.

10. I am quite lazy when it comes to housework, but I could never leave dirty dishes unwashed so long. Never used a dishwasher in my life too.

That's nothing, OP. Sometimes I am so lazy that I can't be bothered to empty out the clean stuff from the dishwasher, so I pop in one dirty plate, let it run through again, and hope DH will empty it when he gets home. Cue screams of - but that is not just lazy, that is ungreen! In my defence, emptying the dishwashwer is very boring - my least favourite job, up there with changing a duvet cover.

Go for the soak option, that way you have done something without actually having to do anything.

I adore my dishwasher, I love settling down of an evening after dinner knowing that it is doing the washing up. I just load as I go throughout the day and DH empties it in the morning.

h,mm would rather not soak as I probably will end up having to wash DS's cups or something.
Also losing the will to do anything, DS will NOT sleep!

I thought it was going to be something really disgusting! 1 to 10 - I would give you a 1/2.

Relax....more to life than clean dishes.

MN is divided

I don't own a dishwasher and often leave the washing up piling up for a few days.

i love my dishwasher will hardly wash a tea spoon doing by hand not as good results and my tumble dryer is essential in the Winter

couldn't livw without my drier either although thats on its last legs too

will the dishwasher delivery man judge me?

I don't own a tumble drier either

My boiler broke down last Friday so I didn't wash my children until last night.

So that gives you some idea. Maybe 0.25.

My dishes and clothes, however, were spotless (hurrah for cold-fill appliances).
