Breaking news

my dishwasher seems to be having a sort of a fit. It spat the dummy (ok, the dishwashing tablet) and has rinsed everything rather than washing it and damn.

Listen, that has reminded me all over again, I really need about 5 men in my life. The one I need right NOW is the one handy around the house and appliances.

Make it so, CS. grin

Biff, go through the CS candidates close to your location and check their professionidea
Well Biff, it's a pretty long trek up the M6, otherwise I'd be there with me tools like a shot! dunno
The day is young Robby professor
Funny you mentioned that Biff.....mine refuses to turn on....and i don't fancy washing up, whats in there....moping ....my bit if breaking news for a saturday morning.....doh ....
That's a coincidence, my dishwasher didn't want to work last night, but after a lay in this morning I'll be ready to do it this evening rolling on the floor laughing
A hammer seems to fix most things, to a point of one losing interest in why it was working so well to start with.

I doubt the other 4 guys will be able to answer their crusade question so easily.
Had an unexpected double, both sisters phoning me in a row with tons of news. They don't speak to each other roll eyes so I shall also have to phone the first one back at some point.

Where were we? Oh,right, looking for handy fellas. Seri, there are hardly any men in Scotland on CS, it's quite odd. There used to be. I think they hastily cancelled their membership soon after I joined
confused
Robby, 4 hours or so? And it's a lovely drive. grin
Pat, the other 4 have an easier role. Okay, apart from the one who can not only fix cars but will rescue me in the middle of the night and middle of the countryside if the car he fixed breaks again. I don't need him yet but the car, like the driver, is past the first flush of youth and one should have these things in place. scold
Sorry Elegs...can't help you here...haven't owned a dishwasher in my life..

Always relied upon the manual, two legged human multi purpose model. wink
Bspoken, I hate washing dishes and for all my years in SA gratefully relied on the two-legged model myself. After 6 years of washing my own dishes here, because the two-legged models are scary expensive, I found this dishwasher on eBay for £40 and added an element of bliss that is hard to explain unless you hate washing dishes as much as I do laugh

So I feel very forlorn and dramatic about the whole thing. moping
I suppose it is theoretically possible to get the 5-in-1 man but (a) has anyone ever found this mythical being roaming free? they're in short supply and tend to belong to one careful, often quite possessive, owner. And if you DID, frankly (b) it would probably be best to have a backup. One thing we have all learned, we on CS, is that the perfect partner isn't always around.

However if anyone does hear of a mature house-trained man of pleasant appearance, interesting mind, and reasonable personal grooming, who doesn't crave walks in the rain and a river of pina coladas, do let me know.
biff.. sorry to hear that.....run the bath...hot/soapy....get molly /bespoken...yourself...starkers....put dishes.etc..into bath...all get into bath.....then have fun looking for the dish mop....make a chor..a happy one....professor just saying.....wine rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Biff just buy a new one if it will cost too much to fix the old one.

If you could just get them to stop eating that would solve the problem, would it not, eks?

Tru - you have a unique approach to my dilemma. One small problem, I would have to clean the bath, and the bathroom, and the stairs, and the hallway, first and I only ever do that if expecting houseguests. None are planned for the immediate future so nah.

cool
Mick, Mick, slow DOWN writing

This doesn't make any sense to me at ALL. I don't, uh, suppose flirty ...
CC, I need to sell a lot more books first moping I just had a small tyre emergency this week which meant replacing all 4 and my wallet is feeling the draft.

I'm a little star-crossed at the moment, I think!
Map, your sympathy is always welcome and you always chose exactly the right words to make me feel better. very mad
Eks, are you back in civilization? But with 6 people you all muck in and take turns - oh, hang on, South Africa. Traditional values, right? Only women know how to wash up ... doh

Second attempt still churning. Fingers crossed.
Ahh yes, Biff...
The helpless woman technique.
My daughter is a grand master of that method of household and automotive maintenance.
rolling on the floor laughing

Well, Mick, if it works ... flirty

Always worth a try, there's always the chance you trip across a man trained to respond smitten
Still in civilization crying frustrated maybe going back home on the 7th of June. You have it right...to other members in the family there is an endless supply of clean stuff in the cupboards...not having a clue how it got there.
I know the feeling Elegs....of all things being single, I hate washing dishes the most...and ironing a very close second...sigh
hmmm
Ummm...Bspoken?
On a singles site...
Saying what you dislike most about being single is not having someone to do your dishes and ironing...
Maybe not the best strategy for having your mail/flowerboxes filled to overflowing.

playball....yawn

Just sayin'.

My wish from when I was a small child was to someday to be a wife,mother and homemaker and all that comes along with it.


I keep my home clean enough so I never have to be afraid/ashamed to let someone in.
C/C....nice to hear....do the queues of men outside your door, wipe their feet on the doormat before they enter.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Bspoken and CC....heart wings

And we have a match made in heaven, folks!! applause
Y'all saw it right here on CS blogs!! yay

@mic
Besides mic here's obviously what you posted to Bspoken.

He's looking for a housekeeper and I'm no ones housekeeper.

laugh
Biff..I shall come over and wash your dishes for you, its something I relish doing, all i ask in return is that you keep the haggis away from me...
Mick, I was logging in to say just that rolling on the floor laughing

CC, you're not B's housekeeper, you're his home-maker. scold He should be so lucky, eh? You'd knock his socks off!
Map I promise, cross my heart, I'll lock the little critters outside, ok?

You do know haggis tastes very like boerewors, ja?
Yes Biff he should be so lucky.LOL

Besides if I really wanted to be a mans homemaker I'd only have to walk across the street to my neighbor guys home.He even washes his own dishes.The way he tries to wait on me now I'd have it made.laugh
CC you have your life so organized in your quiet way! laugh yay
Biff,Organized not really, I just don't allow any excess baggage into my life.The only baggage I allow is on the other side of my garage apt.LOL

I simplified my life a long time ago.I don't allow myself to make things complicated if they already aren't in the beginning.
I need to pick another profile pic. Or go back to my own rumpled face. I just can't imagine JB using emoticons.

CC my life is also simple, but includes less housework grin
And my dishwasher came up trumps on the second time. I very nearly took a pic of the gleaming contents, then I remembered this isn't Facebook.
I used to have a dish washer but replaced him with a machine.
I don't know which one's the most efficient confused
Daniela, you look different - I can't quite put my finger on it - laugh

A man who washes dishes? What a TREAT daydream
