that, basically.. ^^ not life-threatening but usually the same night, unless it's a few cups or whatever. As a rule, unless one of us is running out the door or suchlike, he who doesn't cook washes up and vice versa.

I pile things neatly in a bowl & then leave till morning - I like doing washing up first thing in the morning, its sunny in the kitchen & wakes me up nicely. Also means I can keep the water in the bowl to wash up any breakfast things & then the kitchens clear & tidy for cooking in the evening.
I only wash up late at night if there's something really good on the radio.

My dishwasher, when it is not washing dishes, is out campaigning on my behalf for no minimum wage, removal of profit damaging health and safety legislation, abolition of the European Working Time directive and punitive legislation against union membership.

It's part of my morning routine to clean up the kitchen and do the washing up while I am making my tea and listening to the Today programme on Radio 4.
I deeply resent that my daughter and her boyfriend have started getting up at the same time and insisting on having showers, so I can no longer use the hot water in the mornings. By the time they are out of the shower, it's my turn to shower and then I have to leave and then, when I get home, the kitchen is full of filthy smelly dirty dishes and it makes me really cross!
I have a few options:
i) do the washing up in the mornings anyway, and ignore the shrieks of indignation from the bathroom as I freeze the little darlings trying to shower
ii) get an electric shower
iii) throw my daughter out
iv) do the washing up immediately after eating
I like the first option most!

Is there an option for eating out for every meal? Not quite as posh as having a maid, but obviously means I have much much more money.
China for the odd cup of tea at home is disposed of after use and a new consignment of heringbone china is delivered weekly.
I think the use of heringbone as an attempt to show class may have give the game away there. I have no idea what heringbone is.

It really depends on how tired I am, how tired Crispy is, whether it's a weekend on a week day etc. Last night it was left overnight and done this afternoon, sometimes it gets done as you go, other times it gets done later on the same evening just before bed. Very rarely it gets left for a few days, though I have a feeling when we move in together and no longer live in shared houses this may increase! 
While I often do things same night I hate there being any expectation that I need to do things that night.

Extra h?? An extra r in herringbone and an n at the end of give would have been better.
EE, herringbone is also a pattern use in masonry, weaving and parquetry and is a type of cloth. Middle class ladies tend to wear herringbone suits. If you want an example I think googling images of Jaeger would sort you out.
Hubby sometimes does dishes same night but mostly the next day.

Masonry, exactly my point.geminisnake said:
My crockery is handmade by masons, ergo, it is made of Herringbone. Got proper handles to fit the funny hands that make the funny handshakes too.

when do you do your washing up? Same night, next day, whenever you've run out of pots?
*there may or may not have been a discussion about this in Chez AquaBees this weekend
Sorry, need an option for "Have a dishwasher" (That isn't human)

Wouldn't it be better to maim a person? That won't go against the principles of your being a veggie
