Sort your life out BBC1

New thread in case there isn't one?

I've found more teaspoons. I think they ate breeding.

I agree. I think that spoons you can eat with are divided into three sorts - teaspoons, soup spoons and dessert spoons - teaspoons for small things, boiled eggs etc (if you don't have specific egg spoons - well posh, that), soup spoons for soup, and dessert spoons for everything else. Dessert and soup spoons are more or less the same size, but the bowl is shaped differently.

So everyone has dessert spoons, even if they don't call them dessert spoons.

Downton Abbey? It’s Buckingham palace here!
I have two canteens of cutlery from DH’s gran he won’t let me get rid of but we never use.

One is a set of fish knives and forks. Half of us are left handed, we can’t use them. They have never once left the case in 17 years.

Also two full sets of dessert cutlery with cake slices and trifle servers and the whole thing, never used. I tried to get rid in the summer but no, back to the nether reaches of the cupboard they went.

I’m impressed! We keep having to buy more. The kids would take them in a packed lunches and the return rate was less than optimal.

Teaspoons are like socks, they just evaporate somehow if you’re not careful.

WAIT! Maybe that’s it!

The black hole that swallows all my teaspoons spits them out at @TickingAlongNicely ’s house!

The odd thing is I have only two teaspoons that match the rest of the cutlery. 😂

Husbands a plumber and he hates to see people follow that tip , I mentioned unscrewing ours once he said for the love of God don't do it

I once did that to the bath.

Definitely don't do it to the bath.

I did it yesterday - it was absolutely disgusting

We did the sink thing too - it was most excellently disgusting! Very satisfying and now the sink drains far better. But definitely put a bucket underneath!

What does he recommend people do instead?

I'm rather enjoying Stacey's bloke Joe doing the C4 version of Eat Well For Less.

It's called Batch from Scratch (or something similar - to do with prepping freezer dinners and so on). It's more Judgemental Telly to make you feel better about your own crap choices, and it's a distracting bit of fluff to keep me going until tomorrow's episode of SYLO.

I suspect that teaspoons morph into tupperware lids for boxes you don't possess, either in the drawer or in the dishwasher.

Love this programme.

Is there a new one tonight?

Yes it's on tonight as usual.
I'll have to record it as OH will be watching football 😡

Love SYLO, just caught up with the first episode of the new series. Thought the family seemed so nice and had been through so much with their baby loss.

Honestly, how do people live like this?

Literally came on here to say the same thing. I cannot get my head around it. How do they let it happen?

It doesn't fill me with confidence that most of the people on the show keep their homes nice after the process 😔

This won't solve what is a psychological issue, I don't think

I already really like them though 😊 I hope it is the kick up the bum they need to change everything for good

I feel like they REALLY need Dilly this week.

I did the plug thing after seeing it last week. Omg. In my 50 years I've never seen anything quite so disgusting in my house. Absolute filth 😷

That woman has big psychological problems.
i can’t see Stacy fixing that.

That tongue & groove panelling will be a nightmare to keep clean - not a good choice for someone who cooks a lot.

God, I know 😬

This lady would really benefit from some therapy to help her deal with the root of her issues. You can see she knows she has a problem, but it will take more than an episode of SYLO to work through it. I hope she gets the support she needs.
