I have my way of loading the diswasher and my OH has his own way , and guess what he thinks he is best !

Quality or quantity is my question to you :D

Quality!! Is my answer to you :D
Actually I have never run the dishie after my husband has ever put stuff in it (which is rarer than a Preston Guild) without totally taking everything out and starting again.  Poor little soul do you think I am damaging him?

I havnt even got one so i cant answer that :(

LOL we don't it differently in this house also.. infact my mum does a bit for me and she has a 3rd way ;-)

( my biggest fear is knifes up I drum it into them, down down down )

Hubby insists on putting jars for recycling in the dishwasher - the only problem is that the labels come off and end up stuck onto something else :( Other than that, I have him well trained :D

Daisy

Theres only one way to load the dishwasher in my house, and thats MY way!!!!!!!
Although hands up I AM the only adult in my house LMAO
I say quantity, the more I can pack in the better, and if an item needs a second do, so be it LOL
Lea :)

Hi im the only one in my house that loads it full stop lol

Quality every time. I like the dishes to get a really good spray of water and detergent. My OH tries bless him however, I was really quite angry at him the other night as he never cleaned the plates off properly and I had bits of lettuce blocking up the filter grrrrr. I doubt he'll ever do it again tho :D

Isabel yes you maybe really damaging the poor little flower :D

Lea I am with you on the if you have to do it again so what is the problem ? :D

Pam knife up No no no it has to be all cutlery facing up as it will never get clean ! :rolleyes: :D ( not my way by the way ;) )

Alii you sound just like my husband :rolleyes: :D

Does anybody else sometimes make microwave scrambled eggs ? If you do then like me, do you insist on putting the bowl through the dishwasher about 20 times before you admit defeat to get it clean ? :D

Dum de dum de dum de dum :rollseyes:
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no
LMAO
Lea :)
(who is glad she isnt the only one!!!!!!)

Fairy Power Spray has to be the BEST thing for scrambled egg dishes  - soak the dish with cold water and a squirt of FPS before putting it in the dishwasher, and it will come clean first time ;)

Hubby goes for quality over quantity, but somehow fails by putting bowls inverted over the roasting pan :(.............

He also has an aversion to running it overnight if it's only part full :(

I believe it's better to run it part full on Economy 7, than to wait until it's full and run it on full rate electric......

Fairy power spray is boss does exactly what it says on the tin!!!!(spray)

Lucy please tell me the shape bit of the knife is down PLEASE>..   2 people will killed in the space of 10 days before Xmas last year through fallening on the dishwasher with knifes up.. it is a fear of mine with my family.,

I middle aged lady in the UK and a teenager girl in the USA all in 10 days.   

I have everything up except scissors and knifes. Low and behold anyone who has a knife up in my house :-)

It is a wee fixation of mine ( you can tell eh?? )

Blue - I'm the same :) All my blades, prongs are up except for sharp knives and scissors. I heard years ago about a child falling onto a blade and dying :(

Daisy

Oh scrambled egg dishes LOL.. I fill them with water and squeezy and re micro them for a while;-)

Lucy, I think we have the same OH!:D

Jackie

The worst hubby is the one who puts the dirty coffee cup into the top of the dishwasher when the cycle has finished and everything WAS clean :D :D
or the hubby who refuses to empty the dishwasher because even after 28years of being married still doesn't " know where everything lives in the kitchen?"
Or the one who overloads the kitchen bin until it overflows onto the floor rather than emptying it :D
or puts the empty milk bottle back into the fridge??
oh I could go on and on and on and on...
Jacqueline :)

"he worst hubby is the one who puts the dirty coffee cup into the top of the dishwasher when the cycle has finished and everything WAS clean :-D :-D" teee roflol that is my house also

Oh flip that is one of my tricks as well :p :p I am bad :)

Who's family leave the empty toliet roll on the holder gggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am sure mine do it on purpose. ;-)

That's because your house must be like mine Blue, and the four step walk from the bathroom to the airing cupboard where the spare rolls are kept, is much to far to expect most household members to walk especially if it takes them out of their pathway downstairs!

I have had a right laugh at you all tonight :-)) who says it is just our houses that are mad :-)))

We have four loos and you can put place a sure bet that no matter which loo you go to there is never any loo roll. The loo roll storage place is alway fully stocked :rolleyes:

I also get told off for the toothpaste lid never being put on correctly, loosing the remote control, to name but a few :) At least I am consistant ! :D

Edited to say some additions I have just been reminded of ! Inability to sit an watch a Grand Prix without fidgeting ( I fidget a lot ! :D ), liking soap operas, waking him up early on a weekend asking so waht have we got planned..............

>Who's family leave the empty toliet roll on the holder gggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am sure mine do it on purpose. ;-)<

Mostly mine do too - but on the odd occasion they do replace it, it's always when there's a new bag of loo rolls, you know, the sort with the draw string in the top so it can be closed?  But do they open it the way it's supposed to be opened?  Do they heck!  It's always ripped down the side, so the drawstring bit doesn't work!!!!

I load my dishwasher like this:

Cook dinner

Tell children that the dishes need doing

Watch children wash and dry dishes

:D :D :D

At least you won't have to call a dishwasher repair man out if you have a malfunction :D Just threaten the dishwasher with 'no pocket money' and that should do the trick !  :D So what happens when the dishwasher becomes too old to do it and decide to leave home ?
