Have you ever looked under your......
« on: August 27, 2013, 01:37:08 pm »
.......Kenwood?
 
There are lots of cavities under there, plenty of room for SPIDERS and their webs  :o :o :tired:  as well as old bits of flour and crumbs.
 
I hadn't made a cake for ages, so I decided to spring clean my mixer and for probably the first time ever looked underneath it  :P :P :P .  Still, I feel much better now it's spider free  :wave:  Now for cake  :yum:

 :) I have a few corners like that - made the mistake last week of standing on tiptoe to look at the shelf we keep the cookery books on. Not good  ;D

I noticed mine had encrusted cake mix on the dials and nobs too.......its amazing how much appears when you put your glasses on....this post reminds me of a time years ago when I had made cakes and franticly cleaning my Kenwood so leaning to worktop level and the thing fell onto my eye...I spent that Christmas explaining to people how my mixer gave me a black eye..............I do not think anyone believed me :innocent:

beware when cleaning things - it can be dangerous  :-J. i spent ages scrubbing and polishing my windows (they usually have hand, paw and nose prints on them from dogs, cats and kids) and my son walked straight into the patio door thinking it was open. he had a scab on his forehead for a fortnight...ho hum. dirty is much safer  :roflanim:

Well I got a  black eye and as my mum had a business she also had a cleaner, the cleaner polished the piano seat and my piano teacher slipped off :roflanim:

No I haven't, and I don't know whether to or not now!  Cleaning is such a novelty in our house, William quite often asks "Can we do hoovering, mummy?".  Can't wait until he is big enough to do it himself!

I don't think I want to look under my Kenwood. Maybe it's a job I can get my cleaner to do.

My husband's obsession is cleaning the loo.  It's always immaculate so I hardly dare sit down  ;D
 
I became a housewife at 13 when my mum was dying and it bores me stiff now.  I don't mind the occasional blitz but I can't be doing with all this regular dusting and polishing business - I've had nearly half a century of it and enough is enough  :tired:   I quite like finding pockets of amazing dust or three year old tissues hiding down the back of the chest of drawers, and as for culturing new strains of mould in the fridge - well it's one of my favourite passtimes  :roflanim:   No not really - I do like my food to be as immaculate as my husband likes his cludgie  ;D

Looking under the toaster is much the same as looking under the Kenwood....

I keep peering down the back of my chest freezer and thinking I really must pull it out and and clean underneath/behind, but I know it won't be pleasant so maybe it's a job for another day  :innocent:

I lost a pair of canvas shoes and found them 2 years later behind the washing machine in our garage, along with a few pennies and loads of dog hairs.......
