German Scrubber

At the weekend, our AEG dishwasher stopped working. After a few attempts to do whatever it does, it would stop and sound an alarm.

I finally got through to their service centre yesterday and had an engineer around this morning (between 6 and 7am - impressive!).

Sadly, it seems the casing is broken and the device just dumps water into the lower bowels, so the happy chappy charged my £67.97 (inc VAT) for the ‘estimate’ and will later tell me how much it’s going to cost to repair, or more likely replace. I suppose it is about 7 years old, so had a good run.

So until then, we’ll have to scrub our pots and pans manually - what horror :(

    Before you start cooking run a bowl full of hot water, wash any items dirty items that may be lingering (glass first). As you cook wash up as you go. Serve, quickly wash the pots (as they’re hot there will be no need for scrubbing). Run a small bowl of water to wash the plates from dinner afterwards. Job done. It’s not hard, there are instructions on basic washing up mid way through this post.

    Oh, I know how; it’s the fact I’ve got to do it all that bothers me :(

    Washing up can be fun, just put in your headphones and sort of dance/washup. I very rarely use my dishwasher.

    Cat - I am well aware of the fact I need to get laid. In the meantime I get to be odd :)
