fairy&cake Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 well, it smelt very washing up liquid-y, so... i opened it! And it flooded out, so in a manic i closed it fast, blew a mountain of bubbles everywhere, and it still sunk out of the seals. It was such a mess. Ive never seen such a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy&cake Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 ok ok, i admit, it was actually... Half a bottle, i filled the hole up where the tab goes, and liberally squirted it from side to side over the plates etc! I am ashamed.

BeckyBoo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sorry mate but that's hysterical, I SO wish I had been a fly on the wall! How on earth did you get rid of it all? I once used some in the washing machine and that was pretty bubbly but it couldn't escape (clothes smelt awful!!) Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 this is thw worst part.... I got the jug thing off my kitchenaid mixer and started puting water from it into the dishwasher, which made it even more soapy. It cascaded everywhere, all over my nice new 50p asda socks, [they are nice, bright orange ] ANyway, i then lifted out the plastic 'tray ' of plates, and put them on a bathtowel, desudded them and put the d/w on 'empty' , it got even more bubbly, and in the end i had to shovel all the bubbles out with the kitchenaid mixer jug, as it was the biggest. My neighbour walked past walking her dog, and there i am, hair in ponytails, covered in sudds, smiling like a mad woman and waving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
