3 months? 6 months? Over a year? Not sure you have done it since you had the kitchen re done 6 years ago?

Well I have just three words to say about its probable contents.....

rancid fat globules

I have smelt and seen many bad bad things in my life (including a goat during post mortem, and wet gangrenous toes). This may beat them to the top of the list of things that make me go 'ugk memrmr oh bleeeerrk eckkkkkk'.

Go and replace it now. You know you need to.

'wriggling loo seat cover' WTF.

Have just had shower. Scrubbed hands with nice Molten Brown eucalyptum exfoliator stuff. Hands still smell of rancid fat. It has impregnated my skin.

Amputation.

It's the only way.

Or you could rub you hands in garlic and curry powder to disguise the rancid fat smell?

Hang on - don't baby wipes clean everything off everything?

Slubberdegullion · 18/08/2007 12:48

was thinking about maybe cleaning out crisper drawer sans gloves to see if the evil smelling brown liquid might counteract the death fat smell

(2 wrongs may make a right in smell world)

I was uncontrollably seized by the desire to instantly recify the hideous sluttish hood situation.

I am paying for my mistake. Did not put the 7 P's into place

(prior preparation and planning prevents piss poor performance)

I was once uncontrollably seized by the desire to clean out a cupboard, which promptly fell apart. Only the dirt was holding it together.

Henceforth, I have reserved my uncontrollable seizing for inappropriate men.

There is a lesson to be learned here, sisters.

God knows what it is though.

HAve resolved to live off takeaways and raw food.
And will now only bathe/ shower at public baths.
Therefore avoiding the neeed to clean any household appliances.

Slubberdegullion · 18/08/2007 20:11

My fingers still reek. I wonder if meths and then setting them on fire might help remove the stench.

It will. But remember to put the extractor fan on before you light your fingers
