to tell me what a piece of piss Chicken and Sweetcorn soup is to make! It takes 5 minutes and costs fuck all. I have being buying this stuff you know? With ACTUAL money.

One idle google and 10 minutes later dd and I have a pan full for lunch, it's lovely.

It was bad enough finding out about cleaning washing machines, and Veet to unclog hairy plug holes.... and now you failed to tell me this Angry

Well you horrible lot, what else have you being holding out on, and keeping from me?????

You buy them and then they take themselves out of the packet whilst you mn
Well at least that's what I'm hoping they do?!

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 19:34

And then clean the house by themselves while you mn, sorry that's what I was supposed to say :(

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 19:36

What the fuck???
Seriously what the fuck???
Dragon butter??? Really????
Oh now I feel sick

Will definitely not be mentioning that to deviant dh

Honeydragon · 28/02/2012 19:40

Environmental? On account they are reusable?
I don't like touching them either.

With regards to maintenance washes you don't need anything in, but you may accidentally fetch from upstairs and deliberately load find your oh's fucking awful cardigan ends up in there by accident, and ensure discover that due to its high polyester count and plastic button it has melted .
Regular maintainence washes result in a well dressed man who chooses clothing with care and considers his wife's opinion when shopping.

Stinky sink cleaning- lots boiling water, then bleach & some bio washing powder down plugholes AND V IMPORTANT down drainy hole thing. Wait a bit.

Then pour down more boiling water. When I did this a big fat worm of lard or something squeeezed out of the draining (overflow?) hole. Ugh.

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 19:43

Great tip honey dragon
(goes to grab the replica football shirt that makes DH look like a dickhead, feel another maintainance wash coming on)

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 19:44

But dragon butter?? Really???
Who does this stuff??
I thought the banana was bad!
Ugh

Whilst failing to split an apple in half with my bare hands because someone has decided it's a great trick to tell everyone it works when it doesn't I remembered my lettuce trick!

Probably only worth doing if you're going to use the whole thing fairly soon. To remove the stalk and the very dense bit of heart of a lettuce bash the lettuce stalk side down on the work top and voila, you can pull the stalk/ heart straight out. That's another one of your five a day sorted.

CamelKnees · 28/02/2012 19:49

Too scared to google dragon butter....

And am officially non-plussed by e-cloths.

Man to come and clean my over-awesome.

Little weird cloths that make me wretch to touch them and still require me to do the cleaning - shite.

Honeydragon · 28/02/2012 19:51

Dragon butter is the tip of the iceberg, never partake in a mnet googling thread on a full stomach. There isn't enough brain bleach in the world, I am not the woman I used to be. But I am now a woman who can horrify and traumatise young men when they try to impress me with their crudity and filthy minds Grin

So far I haven't googled banana porn or dragon butter. I don't think I want to really but there's a small part of me that desperately wants to know why tantrums is so upset/shocked/traumatised!

I also haven't cleaned my fire trap secret drawer in the tumble drier.

SusiaX · 28/02/2012 19:51

Hm, might be trying the Glitter sink solution, garage really ponks tonight and sounds a lot kinder to the environment than my evil chemicals.

Powerplumb (or something) is also good for blasting blockages out of the pipe ? possibly not a good idea if you are in anyway doubtful that your pipes could withstand it.

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 19:53

I beg you to google it camel knees it's vile funny

Hate these little cloths, given them to Dd

Oh but I bought some stuff to de scale kettle and iron, it's brilliant you just poor the stuff in and leave it

I am the princess of making it look like I've done a difficult, very time consuming job when really I've done fuck all

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 19:55

Pour it in even! Bloody autocorrect, why does it presume it knows what I want to say? Even I don't know what I want to say sometimes :)

Somersaults · 28/02/2012 20:01

It also thinks you're in the princess!! Which princess?

SecretNutellaFix · 28/02/2012 20:03

so what changed Honey?Grin

CamelKnees · 28/02/2012 20:05

I would post a glorious technicolour picture of my unveeted hairy plug hole on MN AIBU before I'd do that!!!!

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 20:05

I looked for the fire trap/secret drawer in dryer
Couldn't find it
I figured if it catches fire at some point at least I'll know where it is!

mellymooks · 28/02/2012 20:11

Ahhh have some how missed the knowledge imparted regarding tea towel, dishwasher tabs and a clean oven PLEASE can someone fill me in?

mellymooks · 28/02/2012 20:12

Did a maintenance wash today Grin this thread has inspired me, only yesterday I was posting on confessions of a slattern, maybe there's hope for me yet......

tantrumsandballoons · 28/02/2012 20:14

Yep, call the mobile oven cleaner man, put the dishwasher powder in the dishwasher and spend a bit more time on mn

If you want to do it the properly then someone not lazy on the thread will explain :)

littlemisssarcastic · 28/02/2012 20:15

ripsishere I have never heard of that one. So if I can see the tyres on the car in front, full on turn the steering wheel? and I don't have to go forward then back then forward then back then forward then back and on and on.

What a cool tip!!!! I am liking that one very much!!

Any more car/driving tips?

mellymooks · 28/02/2012 20:16

I am also too scared to google about bananas and dragon butter...............

Honeydragon · 28/02/2012 20:17

Nutty Grin

Apparently you soak tea towel in dw tablet. Lob over oven door, go off to Mnet and drink coffee do something else constructive. Upon our return the oven door rime will wipe away with ease meaning you can see the filthy horror lurking inside.
