dolally · 12/03/2007 11:26

i have a dishwasher, not 100% sure it saves me that much time... family usually chuck their plates in sink... then SOMEONE has to put them in dw!!! OR nobody's unloaded the clean things so the dirty things have to go in the sink.

dolally · 12/03/2007 11:28

also sitting here aloveheart, can't be bothered to move again! Think will go check my emails.
