It always has
Knives, forks, spoons..... always

AI therefore BU to be irritated beyond belief that when DH unloads the sodding dishwasher that he cannot get it right?He always puts them in random places in our cutlery tray, but never knives, forks, spoons

I suspect he does it like this so that I stop asking him to do it, but we have been together for 15 years!

Knives, forks, spoons or AIBU?!!

PrincessFiorimonde · 09/04/2010 20:00

As I have said before:

spoons
forks
knives

(oops, just spotted a few annoying crumbs in among them - must be time for DP to clean out the drawer again ...)

nickelbabe · 10/04/2010 10:39

Princess: you are correct!

nickelbabe · 10/04/2010 10:39

don't forget those crumbs are dissolved teaspoons.

KnottyLocks · 10/04/2010 22:39

For Piste

KnottyLocks · 12/04/2010 15:42

Only forks needed

KnottyLocks · 12/04/2010 15:45

Little fella has a problem

Reminds me our situation -
Piste is the 1st character,
I'm very much like the 2nd one

thereferee · 12/04/2010 21:20

ah, we used to go knives, forks, spoons...but when DCs were little they used to manhandle the knives so I changed it to spoons, knives, forks so that they couldn't reach the sharp stuff.

Never changed it back and have got used to it.

Couldn't have them all chucked in together though

lovingthesun · 12/04/2010 22:02

Hmmm, have finally got round to reading this thread& have to say it's

Spoons, Forks, Knives, then little drawer has teaspoons...the wooden spoons go in a jug on the worktop & long knives go in the long knife section.

THK · 14/04/2010 06:40

Gosh have missed KFS 'ers
BUT return very happily from Italy with my very own Grape scissors Yayy.
Knotty - cant believe they dont use pizza scissors - I sadly checked out all homeware stores
But I did find for all non KFS converts Italy sells cutlery drawers that truly go SFK.. but then didnt they change sides in the war???

To catch up:
it goes
KFS
Coffee Tea Sugar
Choc biscuits, Plain biscuits, crackers
Cornflakes, weetabix, mueseli, flax

KnottyLocks · 14/04/2010 08:37

You've been to Italy

And they didn't use pizza scissors?

What do the Italians know about style anyway?

Loverly to see you back.

nickelbabe · 14/04/2010 10:23

yeay! THK! you went all the way to Italy just to get Grape Scissors?
that's dedication!

i like the youtube with "my spoon's too big" good find Knotty!

nickelbabe · 14/04/2010 10:24

nickelbabe · 14/04/2010 10:25

ChippingIn · 14/04/2010 13:11

Just popping back in to let any newcomers know, that it is, without a doubt....

KNIVES FORKS SPOONS

(tea spoons in the little bit at the bottom!!)

nickelbabe · 14/04/2010 14:32

can i just remind new-comers that ChippingIn is a loon and it goes

SPOONS FORKS KNIVES

with teaspoons in the little bit at the bottom and cake forks in the posh drawer over there.

nickelbabe · 14/04/2010 14:39

absolutely no idea what happened there because i only put one * at each end.

one would have thought that if the had been printed, i wouldn't have got the bold, but i got both a and a bold.

nickelbabe · 14/04/2010 14:44

oh, i think i get it!

if you press enter, then it's still classed as the same word, so you only have to put the * at the very beginning and at the very end.
i'll try it.
