Why the Friggity Frig <GLARES> didn't anyone, not one of you, think

[Honeydragon]

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

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

I tried a slightly unripe banana yesterday, and a slightly overripe one today. Just got a squished end and had to use normal method (thumbnail into stalk then it breaks easily)

Just found a video of the banana thing on , am going to try again later...

fabwoman, yes.

And it's not pleasant.

I'm sorry for not including a warning...

I actually came on to say thanks to youse I have broken my microwave

I'd nevet have tried to deep clean it if it wadn't for this thread, and after cooking a bowl of water with vinegar & lemons, when I wiped the inside, bits fell off the Inside. I thought it was metal but it looks like metallic cardboard and covered a great hole in the side of it. A chunk broke off the corner of it and it won't fit back where it came from.

Now I have to google and find out what it us, and whether I can replace it or if it's goosed.

I'm now terrified to go near the maintenance wash in case my washing machine falls to bits...

And a question on dryers? Mine is a condenser dryer. It has a filter in the door, the tank that collects the water, and the condenser plates, all of which need regular stuff done. Is there another thing somewhere that I've missed for the last 9 years??

Going right off this thread; I will stick to sitting around on my fat arse popping bananas like King Louis and ignoring the slime monster that is currently squatting in the fabric conditioner section of my powder drawer....I don't even use fabric cobditioner

Tip from my plumber: there is a freeze spray that you can buy cheaply in a hardware store which unlocks most stuck/jammed metal - jammed taps, too-tightly done up bolts etc. You spray it on and it flash freezes the metal, shrinking them at different rates for a second and loosening the jam. He said many plumber visits could be avoided with a can of it in the house as its often one of the first things they try. I saw him use it on our stuck taps, does indeed work.

Have been wanting to share that for ages ( can see why plumbers eould want to keep it a secret though)

Lol flowery, I skim read your post and for obe horrendous moment thought you wrre linking a video about dragon butter till I re-read

I must remember to do a maintenance wash on my brain!

Lowering the tone of the thread?
I think that ship has already sailed about 20 pages ago

I might do a maintenance wash right now when DD goes down for a nap (which following current trend may not actually be until bedtime). She's asleep now but if I move all hell will break loose. I like the sound of super fresh clothes. I know this has been checked a dozen times but super hot wash, no detergent or anything? I just turn it on and leave it? Do I then need to run a rinse cycle when it's done before putting any clothes in?

I ordered some of that mould spray from Amazon. Took 3 goes of 45 mins each but all the yucky grey bath sealant is now white again, yeay!

Vivi the dragon butter thing is yuk but not as disturbing as the picture at the end of the cuntworms thread that now effects every little hole I see. And even some big ones, marks, certain shapes, everything.

It took me about a week to stop wanting to hold my boobs and I still have to check them now and again!

Oh PHEW, TOWTH Glad its not just me. It's actually making my glands in my neck prickle just typing about it now. I couldn't eat my crumpet the day after I saw it. I'm funny about small holes now too, and was never before.

Other than images of cruelty, that is singlehandedly THE WORST thing I've ever seen.

Right. I'm gonna google DB. Don't try to stop me, its too late.

Pfft. NipGrubs piss all over dragon butter in the vom-in-mouth physical repulsion stakes.

Although LackaDAISYcal did prep me somewhat with her précis.

I was on a break and missed the cuntworm thread....probably a Good Thing!

Maintenance wash nearly done, then the erawer is going in the fishwasher....then I suppose I need to maintenance wash that too. A slattern's work is seldom never done :o

I can't eat crumpets either! And can't look closely at bricks on my new extention now either. Who knew they had so many holes in?

Does anyone have an easy way of getting gloss paint out of a carpet please?

arf at fishwasher :o Why should the tortoises have all the white goods fun??

Bloody not very autocorrect

Could have done with putting my squid in the fishwasher before they stank out my fridge.

I need to see the cuntworms pic that everyone is so traumatised by! Someone link please?!

Its on the Itchy Vagine thread here on Classics. Don't say you weren't warned. Its not so much the image itself thats so bad, its the physical effect it has on you.

Sorry to have derailed this otherwise gentle, humorous and infinitely informative thread with talk of the NipGrubs

I AM NOT LOOKING!

Shock of all shocks my DD is actually napping (I've probably jinxed it now and she'll be awake as soon as I click 'Post Message' if not before)

So... washing machine is on maintenance wash - you will all be in for it if DH comes home and I've broken it. Or he comes home and I'm all smug at my superb housewifeyness and he tells me he frequently maintains the washer.

^^ I've baked him a Victoria Sponge today, and I will have maintained the washing machine, AND managed to get DD to nap. I am most definitely being a Superb Housewife.

She'd awake. I think I got ten minutes.

I realise that this may be way too late, but following from the discussion of fruit in lunchboxes, and how to get a child to actually eat it - I am going to repost the tip that got me my first ever mention in the Talk round-up. After years of sending fruit to school in lunchboxes, just to have it come home each evening, a bit more battered than before, I decided the best thing would be to use plastic fruit - so your child's lunchbox will pass muster with the dinner ladies, and all you have to do is wipe the fruit and put it back in the next day.

I realise that this pales into insignificance against tortoises defrosting the dishwasher whilst frying hamsters in wd40 - but I am a domestic slattern so have no cleaning tips to offer.

Hmm, Fried Hamsters in WD40 - I was wondering what to do for tea. Don't have a hamster but I'll just go and check the mouse traps. Have plenty of WD40.

SDTG I think I have just fallen a tiny bit in love with you.
