Default Do it Yourself NOW

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?

Err, putting things in the dishwasher is just a 'postponement' surely?

I was on about taking them out. I hate doing it because it takes six
minutes. I don't mind putting them in because I do a few at a time.
Because I hate taking them out I have to do it immediately. It's jobs I
hate that I feel compelled to do immediately.

I would, but I think the neighbours would object to 3am demolition works.

Wouldn't it be useful if dishwashers had two separate compartments, then one could be dirty when the other was clean. No need to empty the dishwasher of the cleans before filling with the dirties.

When my son and his wife remodeled their kitchen, they installed two
dishwashers...

I always wanted that. Well, if there weren't room for 4.

At my age though I'd want magnetic "clean" and "dirty" signs.

They do.
https://www.appliancecity.co.uk/dish...in-dishdrawer/

Silly money but we had one when we were having a major extension done that
involved the kitchen and €ślost€ť the cost (or at least stressing about the
cost) in the overall bill.

Been running faultlessly for 12 years now. Admittedly you could buy two
full sized machines for a lot less but its a neat solution for those who
want the functionality of two dishwashers but dont need the capacity of
two full sized dishwashers.

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.
