When my brother came to stay last year he used to turn his nose up at our washing up arrangments! We seem to keep the same teaspoon in use all day fishing out teabags, stirring coffee etc - I have to admit a bit sloppy really!
Husband suggested we gave ourselves £70.00 and bought our own Christmas presents - the rules were one frivolous present for oneself, one useful and one for the household. We duly entered a shopping mall today (how I hate the places). I managed to buy a cheap puzzle game for the PC and a jersey from Marks to replace the one I got covered in wet paint last week leaning against a wall in the locker room at the swimming pool. As for the present for the household I am still thinking! Husband accomplished his mission within about ten minutes. He bought a 1/2 price book, a red sweater, some garish underpants and guess what - 8 shiny shiny shiny new teaspoons - my brother would be delighted if he ever came to stay again all the way from Oz!!

why is it men are in and out of shopping malls in minutes?

Unless of course you have a little spoon eater like we do here. Where do they go? I bet you'll be down to one by tomorrrow...
Men and shopping...is there some genetic difference which accounts for their behaviour
Now if I have plenty of time, I love shopping! Sometimes I am stumped as to what to get people for Christmas though. Men tend to pick up the first thing they see. Teaspoons was an unusual choice!

...sigh...it just means that there will now be 9 unwashed teaspoons. Just because 8 of them will be shiny for a while does not excuse your husband's appaling habit of leaving said utensils unwashed on the kitchen bench - not even rinsed!
I'm sure Nigella wouldn't put up with it.

PS Word verification is 'doused' - most appropriate.
hehehe, what about a tea bag holder...you know, somewhere to put tea bags once you've used them...

Now you only need to do the washing up every eight days. What about a brown teapot?
