[Less]

Those of you that know me of old know that I hate housework, a few more will know that of all the housework I really hate, it's washing dishes.

Without a word of a lie for the short time my lad moved in with me when he was between houses, we used paper plates and plastic cutlery, rather than fight over who had to do the washing up. (Arguments about who should burn the food were another thing!).

Big surprise however, I was given a dishwasher, wow! I can start using proper plates.
The dishwasher has served me well, once every few months, (well let's face it when the wife left we had an 18 place service set, (she always wanted me to make friends)) I fill the washer and set it to power wash.

I have also recently got a kitten, I tease a few of you by pretending I don't like it but that's me, today because I couldn't stand the smell and found the mold on the plates to be more than even I could stand I filled the washer, I even remembered to put the cats food dish in there, after all it deserves a clean dish.

That's when the 'phone went, After finding that I had won a 50p prize and all I had to do was spend £10 a minute to claim I hung up and went back to my chores.

I was just about to close the washer door when I remembered there is a top spray that because the washer is old needs to be physically moved into the correct position.

I bent down to correct this and then saw my kitten,(the cat with no name)at the back of the washer, busily licking the remains off it's dish. If I hadn't been so lucky would one of you been able to recommend a way to get cat hairs off my dishes?
