I have two very special talents!
one , I can make a roast out of anything in the kitchen, my sister was so impressed she had to share! 🤣.
two , I’m an advanced expert at furniture placement and arranging, I can look and instantly know if something will fit without the need to measure!
I believe these valuable talents deserve to be awarded.

Whoa! @jeffgoldblum We Are Not Worthy!
The roast thing, amazing.
The furniture thing, witchcraft.

@jeffgoldblum I measured my lounge but not my front door 😱 never occurred to me. My lounge window had to be removed to accommodate my new sofas! In hindsight I sort of thought the furniture company would have mentioned it could be a problem before delivery.
I say my new sofas, obviously I mean the dogs!
Are you available in France.

I can't even stack a dishwasher. My son could do that when he was 10.

😂😂😂😂 I miss the laughing emoji x Dishwasher etiquette style: you are either a Scandinavian architect or raccoon on meth amphetamine! My bloody husband thinks he is the architect!!!!! We have had to agree that he stacks and I unstack, co stacking can never work without violence.

I can look at any food in a pot or pan, and decide which tub it will fit into exactly, on the first time of trying, to the nearest cubic centimetre.

I can also do it in multiples.

Other than that I am utterly hopeless on the domestic front.

No! I often try 3 or 4 containers before hitting on the right size.

Within a few minutes of talking to any teenager, I can work out a) if they're lying, b) if they need help that they can't articulate, c)if there's a potential safeguarding issue.

A true talent! , we are definitely going to need a large podium for all the talented ladies on here to collect our awards!

Would you come into my house and train my DH? He needs it!
His favourite comment is... the dishwasher is full. No it ain't, just stack it properly and you can get twice as much in!

DD is the expert in our house (her only chore apart from her own room/ laundry etc)

If only I didn't have to remind her EVERY SINGLE DAY.

On the few occasions I have cracked and done it myself she has scorned my attempts as amateur. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO IT!!!!

Thanks for reading. I feel better now...

MrsLeonFarrell · 19/10/2025 07:02

Maybe Meghan should ditch the wrapping paper idea and do an online course in how to stack a dishwasher. Sounds like it would have a larger audience.

I would love to know how much prepping and washing up of her own she does when creating those fruit platters. I know when I deal with soft fruits my kitchen looks like the scene of a particularly grizzly murder. I daren’t have a pomegranate in the house…

She won't have housekeepers and clean up after herself!

A housekeeper would love you because you would pay her well!

Unless being able to knit counts? I have even managed two colour brioche rib (with a lot of swearing. And a lot of wine. Thinking about it, the effects of the wine might have contributed to some of the swearing. By the time I finished the cardigan - it was absolutely gorgeous - DD had outgrown it...)

Being able to knit definitely counts and knowing where to use the word 'effect' correctly counts very highly in my marking scheme notes.

Im not sure mine is a talent, but I can tell if someone is a smoker , has never smoked or used to smoke.
