As I'm in the middle of a 'project' myself, I'll make a mental note! Not that that will help in the slightest, as I'll forget by the time I log off here and go back to the paintbrush wink

Ha - it's too easy.
Once our sink was blocked and my husband took off the u bend to check it - then emptied the contents into the sink grin

I wondered why my car wouldn't open today, just started to panic when I realised I was using the remote key for my husband's car.

Bluebelle I've gone a stage further and actually dialled the numbers on the remote and expected it to ring someone's number! blush

My DSIL thought up a labour-saving way of emptying the dehumidifier in their damp cellar. Instead of carrying the full container upstairs to the kitchen sink, he emptied it into a large bucket next to the dehumidifier....

Many, many years ago, as a young wife, ex dh had invited an American friend to dinner. To my horror, the gray went lumpy, so I decided to put it through a sieve over the sink......no prizes for guessing what happened blush

There's many a time I've decided to save the water from boiling vegetables to make the gravy for Sunday lunch then promptly drained it straight into the sink.

Ditto chicken stock from the pressure cooker.
