How many times do you ....

[dede]

I only run mine once a day usually. Usually last thing of a night ready to unpack I the morning. I do wash pots, pans and TM bowls by hand

dede and wonder if you do it after 12 and before 7am in the monring it cheaper to run (off peak rates )

Good idea fundj, my dishwasher has a delay timer (just got to work out how to use it )

[fundj&e]

  l misread your comment to and thought you were a man by what you said , but thought from past post that you were a woman

l quote''l do also wash up stuff either because I need to use it immediately or is not DW proof.''

l wish l had one l wash by hand  once a day

LOL
Who'd have thought a dishwasher thread could be so funny?

I have urgently updated my gender on the forum profile.

It should now be showing pink.....

Last time I looked In the mirror I saw a middle aged, wife, mother to 2, stepmother to 3, amongst a lot of other roles.... too numerous to mention.

LOL.....

Work done, pony ridden, lunchtime (carrot and coriander soup) calling and the the garden this afternoon.

Might manage just 2 runs of the DW today.
4 is only when we have visitors too.

Dishwasher on once a day only and packed to the max. I handwash TM things cos I use and need them alot. Generally try and pack in as many things as poss in the DW but there is always the handwashing (pots, pans, plastics and anything else that needs particular attention). My DH handwashes dishes and bless him I think he is certified blind cos they are fricken fiilthy when I go to put them away.

2-3 times per day.

I have a good friend, she cracks me up, takeaways, eats out etc. anyway her dh went to make tea & there were no mugs, all in dishwasher, whole dishwasher full of mugs

So they improvise, mmm not sure how. Her idea of cooking is cooked chicken from coles & maybe veg once to twice per week.

Around 50 though i have never really counted. Takes 2 min and 30 seconds each wash.

[Amy :-)]

Am I the only one on this forum who doesn't have a dishawasher?

[Tasty]

No I don't have one either. I get sick of doing the dishes even though there are only 2 of us and a little one. It's seems the second I'm done, there are always more dishes!!! However it does help to make me warm in winter

LOL CP and ditto.  I have to inspect everything he washes up   Amy, we don't have a dishwasher either - no room - but I would love one.  If I could only get DH to part with the small freezer, then there would be space for one, but ATM it is a case of me putting on my rubber gloves or inspecting DH's handiwork

bless her, she keeps a lot of ppl employed

once a day, weekends twice a day, as I keep cooking...

[JulieO]

Usually only once a day, occasionally I can leave it until the next day but not if the plates were very 'dirty'.  Wouldn't feel right knowing they are sitting there.   

I wash all my pans by hand and the TM only goes in if I've made something highly fragrant in there. 

[deedub]

Once a day, if that. On my work days we don't use up many dishes as I usually pull something out of the freezer for dinner. I hand wash stuff nearly every night, thermie, kids lunch boxes, large Tupperware items, pots & pans etc. I don't like to put large items in the DW, waste of space & water.
