I "wash and clean as I go" so the kitchen often ends up cleaner by the time I've finished cooking a meal than it was before I started

.

I used to be terrible, to be fair, but I worked in a single-manned chain bar kitchen while I was at University and you have to get used to cleaning while you cook or everything grinds to a hault, so it just became habit then

Ive just ate out two poached eggs on toast.

Dinner Party? What kind of circles do you think I move in? Aint having no dinner parties round my house Ammi.

I was talking about the relatives and their friends who come round and want feeding

We structure the washing up so that the host doesn't have so much to do when they all leave.

Get with it Ammi.
Dinner party, afternoon tea, late supper for friends.
All bought in ready to serve....saves on most of the washing up, and all those pots, pans and other stuff.
