Suzet, the dishes theme keeps cropping up. Ever thought of getting a dishwasher? When my H and I renovated the kitchen, it was at the top of my list and wasn't even on his. I attribute it to recurrent FOO issue - his mom didn't need a dishwasher, why did we? You see, housework was an enjoyable hobby for his mom; it's an unpleasant chore for me. Keep having to remind him I'm not his mother, lol.

It's been a while, and I'm not sure how it happened, but I managed to get him to include a dishwasher in the plans. I suspect I might have said something like "I'll be a lot easier to get along with if we get a dishwasher." You know... kind of making it HIS idea? One of my few successes, but I'm glad you made me think of it because it gives my ideas to use in the future! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

GBH, I think both me and hubby would LOVE a dishwasher, <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> but unfortunately we don't have space in our kitchen. (We live in a townhouse and all the rooms are really compact). However, we will definately keep it in mind for the future. We plan on buying a bigger townhouse as soon as my H's situation gets resolved. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
