If a job needs doing and I can't think of a really good reason to
postpone it, I have to do it straight away. This morning I emptied the dishwasher and tidied the kitchen before I got dressed. The other day when the sun was shining I mucked out the hens immediately it crossed my mind that it was about time I should do it, when I really didn't feel like it. I sometimes do jobs when it isn't convenient or even sensible. Is it just me? Bill |

S Viemeister has brought this to us :
When I mentioned to my uncle, that my son had installed two dishwashers, he (uncle) pointed out that would mean less cupboard space would be needed, thus saving money on cabinetry. It would need a whole battery of dish washers, to store all of our pots, pans, cups plates and cutlery. I would suggest most people's kitchens are the same. |
