Where's your hoover? - Your house is mental pal


T-Dog

Recommended Posts

yesterday I had the place rewired and slung out all of my junk.  A tumble dryer and a two bar fire and a telephone now defunct. I peeped through the venetian blinds and the rain fell down so sad.

In order to complete the survey I rung Mrs H to get the answers 

 

Hoover - is in a cupboard under the stairs 

Indoor Bin is in a cupboard next to the dishwasher  .... follow up question , it seems the Dishwasher  is kept in the kitchen 

Tea Towels we have a towel rail for in the kitchen  , from experience they seem to live on the floor next to that 

Carry bags  .. I keep a few in the back of my car , but most of them go in a cupboard along with shoes and coats etc 

Recycling  - who am I  ? Greta Thunburg or something

I was once sent upstairs to urgently get a big pile of towels (don’t remember why, let’s say plumbing disaster) I ran upstairs, stood there for a bit. Then had to shout downstairs, “where do we keep the towels?”.

We had lived here about 5 years.

I'm sure they move them about the house to make us have to ask them questions like that , I bet there is xxxH29 and xxxxP65  on mumsnet telling random people on the internet how they **** their husbands up by moving the location where towels are stored on a regular basis

Where should a hoover live? Under stairs cupboard

Where do you keep your main, indoor bin? Corner of the kitchen.

Where do you store recycling when it's done? Next to main bin in a different bin.

Carrier bags? - Under stairs cupboard 

Tea towels - drawer below the cutlery.

Cordless vacuum has a cupboard in our kitchen which it shares with mops and brooms. Henry has a ‘cubby hole’ cupboard on the landing.

General and recycling indoor bins are both in a pull out cupboard in the kitchen. 
 

Outdoor general and recycling bins live out the front at the side of the house.

Carrier bags have their very own cupboard (under sink) in utility room. 

Tea towels in top half of right-hand-side cupboard in our island (right of the sink)

None. Those days of having a bag of bags are long gone.

Don’t remember the last time we left a shop with one.

Wow 🙄

I just thought 'teatowel' is a very British word. 

Like 'teatime' and 'cream tea', which don't (necessarily) involve tea at all.

It’s an extremely British word 🤣 

Between the time I have spent there, years of regularly communicating with English friends, and watching a ton of British TV my vocabulary is pretty solid

Dish towel/kitchen towel 

I mean, it feels like we've got the wrong name for it based on that. Kitchen towel makes a lot more sense. Bloody obsessed with tea us lot.
