reolvine420: when you are cooking do u clean up as u go or make a big mess and have to clean up afterwards?
Depends on what I am cooking. Most of the time I need to keep going from one thing to another and it doesn't leave much time to wash up. Wipe up the benches as I go (too hard to clean when it dries hard). And rinse stuff as I go for the same reason.

make a big mess, yes. Clean up afterwards? Not really - eventually I do.

I normally have to clean some dishes before cooking anything, bloody kids, so when I do cook the sink is still full off water so I rinse and wash as I go,
The worse thing that has happened is my dishwasher is broken! She developed dermatitis? So now I have to wash her dishes as well?
Bloody kids!
Clean as you go. Pretty much all that's left to do at the end of the meal is the dishes and crockery on the table, which isn't such a daunting prospect on a full stomach as a whole side board full of dishes.I think that's where my Time management and Forward thinking and planning skills from business studies applied to my domestic life has been a real boon.

Blizz, I have an allergy to fragrance, something in just about every washing up liquid. So I have to wear gloves to do it. Maybe "she who doesn't want to do it because......." could wear gloves as well.
Do you or do you just use paper plates plastic forks etc.
I just cannot cook if the kitchen is not clean as a whistle...
I clean first and cook after...
But I do have a dishwasher drawers friend... helps me out heaps...

Being a bloke the dishwasher is king. So long as there is empty plates & full bellies & happy faces I couldnt care less!

She wont wear gloves unless she is dyeing her hair? Just how blonde dose she want too be?
Yes it can be messy in the kitchen - but as long as you have got a strong table you should be right?
Oops hang on ....... not the thread I thought it was
Errrm yes *cough cough* I like to clean as I go along, less to do later?
Got a dishwasher that I always wanted and hardly use it, can't stand all that 'waiting for a full load??'

Hi Newlife,
I know what you mean... dishwashers are very handy when the kids come by for tea... then I can get both drawers going... but just for me, I often wash by hand...and I love the feel of water, my hands in water... so I dont mind..

mental picture 
was at mums on the weekend....she has a dishwasher and.......i was doing the dishes and i thought.......rinse, put in dishwasher,turn on dishwasher, take dishes out and put away?..........in the end i just washed them in the sink and left to dry on the bench.....much easierMerriweather: Hi Newlife, I know what you mean... dishwashers are very handy when the kids come by for tea... then I can get both drawers going... but just for me, I often wash by hand...

Hi Jem, I am so used to it these days and make sure I have spare gloves in case I rip some. And best excuse not to do it whenever I go out somewhere.
But usually offer to wipe up.Might have to have a look at what they offer.
And when I developed the allergy, I went looking for soaps and deodorants without fragrance. Even Sunlight Laundry Soap has fragrance in it.
And everyone that has used the "Moonrock" deodorant has told what a failure they are.
Even for normal people

my mother cant even make a cup of coffee without a mess everywhere. She leaves all the canisters open, the milk out, without the lid on it, I am really not sure how she manages to make such a mess. Funnily enough she has a clean house but she does everything backwards eg, cleans the floor before wiping the benches. She gets it all done eventually and very well but must take her a lot of time with her terrible organisational skills!!
