Yeah, I knew someone might faint! lol

I told my mum and normally she would go mental at me for spending so much, but this time she agreed! She even wants one herself but is annoyed that they don't come in white!

That slimline dishwasher looks nice, but don't be fooled. Those darn dishwashers are so lazy! I've still yet to see my bucket of metal and plastic take the dirty dishes off the counter and of all things... put soap in itself. I have to do it! And be careful of laying the phone unattended in the kitchen. Before you know it, that bucket of bolts will be racking up long distance phone bills to other appliances. It could simply talk to the fridge or stove, maybe even the microwave, right, but nooooooooo... it has to call everyone in the family! lazy dishwashers!

omg! That is funny. I will take note however just in case!

imagione how many primark pants you could get for £109! (109 pairs! lol)

And their t-shirts!, just under 50 of them!!clap:

oh my goodness, yes, I thought I was alone with that! Dan manages to use almost EVERY dish and appliance in the house when he makes dinner. We so need a dishwasher one day

or 10 pairs of primark shoes.

500 pairs of socks!, well, i don't know if they do the same for the women, but i bought a male friend a pack of 5 for £5 at the weekend

see Gilly, you should have gone to Primark! lol

You girls and your Primark!

I just found "that bin" in the sale for £75! But it would be a cab ride all the way home at about £35 so I would only save £1....

Going to see if I can get it delivered!

There you go though!, a pair of knickers from Primark for your quid left over!

i keep buying huge bridget jones style kitten strewn pants from primark. i might take pictures of my (freshly laundered!) collection and post them one day!

i'm a kitten covered big pant addict!

I've never looked at the belly warmers in Primark..........but i will now!!

Just because they have kittens on

i'll buy you a pair next time i'm there Susan if you tell me your size

THE DISHWASHER ARRIVED ON SATURDAY!!!!!

It's so cool. It's doing it's 2nd wash now as on Saturday I tested it with a few things for it's first wash.

Only thing is, I have space for something of 20cm to go down the side and the bin is 24cm so I can't get it....

But hey I don't have to do any washing up anymore!

Btw, do you think I can put plastic drinking glasses in it? There are no signs on the glasses saying dw safe or anything

There see, look at the money you've saved by not getting that bin!

As far as i know the plastic glasses should be ok?!

Personally I thought that that's why brides always appeared in white... like most kitchen appliances, as some men would say (The worlds first and only chauvanistic woman here folks) What's wrong with standing at a sink? It doesn't take that long, if the dishes are done regularly. It saves on electricity, money, various "special" detergents, and space in the kichen. Does a dishwasher really save on washing time? As far as I'm aware, you still have to pre-wash before the dishes go into the machine and dry them again when they come out....

maybe I'm missing something. I'd have said scrap the dishwasher, and let's spend the money on something like another cat

OH and by the way, best NOT to put plastic stuff in unless it states that they're dishwasher safe. The dishwasher tends to get incredibly hot and melt stuff. I know, I've seen it happen. It ruined a dishwasher

Thanks for your reply. There is no need to pre-wash, you just have to make sure you scrape all the food and stuff off. This model has a pre-wash already, plus I am using the eco-friendly cycle....

I only use 1 degergent in my dishwasher. Even though there is space to add the salt / rinse aid stuff, they sell modern d/w tablets that are 3 in one - soap, salt and rinse aid so you only need to use just 1 tablet per wash.

I have gone 3 years without one and seeing as I don't wash up the dishes on a regular basis I decided that a dishwasher was my only answer really. I leave for work early in the morning and get home later in the evening so I guessed that I could spend my time on other stuff rather than keeping on top of the washing up (which I hate doing anyway!) Dishwashers dry the dishes for you as well, so no need to dry when the stuff comes out.

Oh and, I live alone and only use the shower never the bath yet I pay the same amount for water on a monthly basis as a family of 4 who probably use 6 times the amount of water I use so I can justify it.

Yeah, I did wonder if the plastic stuff might melt.. I won't try it!
