The most annoying thing to wash up?

If you put dirty pots outside the back door, friendly snails and slugs will clean them in no time.

Provided they're not full of salt.

Nothing with dried stuff on it - do you people not know how to soak?!

Wine glasses though,or those skinny tumbler efforts - have sliced meself a few times on them

Even the hottest soak has trouble shifting porridge or scrambled egg if they've been allowed to dry on, I find.

At the moment I'd have to say that our cute little egg poacher contraption is the worst - the egg just won't come off, even with immediate soaking.

Porridge, potato, egg etc should never be allowed to dry in the first place - some things need to be washed up straight away

Absolutely; it's a shame more people don't understand this.

at long list of ex-boyfriends/housemates who did not understand the healing power of soaks.

I'm pretty much anti-soak too though - unless you are going to wash it up soon - I hate pans full of water being left over night

Innit, its minging.

I was up as I go along or straight after I've eaten.

Yeah, standing washing-up water of any description is mank.

I suppose things do get washed up pretty quickly in our house; the kitchen is the one area of the house where my standards of cleanliness and tidiness outshine the mister's. He's welcome to the vacuuming though

I received a totally unwanted random present for xmas thats a total bastard to wash up.

it's a chocolate fondu fountain. it's bloody huge, has loads of moving parts that pump the "molten" chocolate up to the top of the fountain where it is supposed to then flow down in perfect chocolate sheet laminar flow over a series of ever increasingly sized stainless steel rings.

I used it on new years day for the first and last time. It took me 40 mins to clean up and put back in the box.

Bloody waste of time if all you want to eat is hot chocolaty marsh mellows.

I also spent £7 on chocalate bars to melt down to fill the thing.

Any item that has dried on scrambled egg in it, be that pan or bowl. Even the dishwasher struggles with that.

Word!

Kim and Aggie use biological washing powder for troublesome organic stains.

Sippy cups. You have the cup itself, the lid with all its little crevices and then the damned valve that you have to poke your little finger through then you have to dry the contraptions and reassemble them. Damn sippy cups. I swear I've wasted a year of my precious life cleaning those buggers out
