Dishes
24 Answers
Anybody get fed up - you wash your breakfast dishes - dry them - put them away. 3 hours later same again for lunch. 3 hours later same again for dinner. Such a futile chore.
Maybe I will do the American way - buy 1,000 paper plates use them and dump them. Just a rant. Have to go down and do dinner dishes.

>>>you wash your breakfast dishes - dry them - put them away.
No way. You eat breakfast and put the dishes into your sink.
At lunchtime you look at dishes and think about washing up but decide that it's easier to go to the burger van.
At teatime you consider washing up again but instead make tea in a way that doesn't involve using the same plates/dishes as earlier (e.g. by deciding to have cheese & biscuits, which only requires that clean side-plate you've still got in the cupboard, rather than the dinner plate still in the sink).
Suppertime: Ditto.
Skip breakfast the next day.
Go to the charity shop to buy some more plates and dishes ready for lunchtime.
Been there. Done that. Love it!

I so dislike doing dishes, like you say pointless and so repetitive.
I used to do the dishes, tidy the kitchen, I'd leave the room for 5 mins come back and the place is a tip, the delightful 5 teenagers I managed to raise, but not totally housetrain, decide they were hungry.
Only have 2 left at home now, kitchen so much better. I now know who the culprits were.

>>>I have never known an American who buys 1000s of paper plates eats off them and then dump them!
There have been several occasions where I've simply dumped the contents of my washing-up bowl (which might have been in there for months!) straight into the bin and gone out to buy new crockery and cutlery!
(That's why, even though I've got some emergecy spares in a cupboard in case of breakages, I now use just one dinner plate, one breakfast bowl, and a few side plates and mugs. It forces me to wash up reasonably often, even though I really hate doing it!).
