Bad News...

[melv16]

The circulating fan on the oven has gone belly-up. The part is coming today.
Even worse news... The Mrs has said whilst the oven is out, you might as well clean it..sob:-(

You can pay people to clean your oven, at least Mrs Melv will know that it has been properly cleaned.

I cleaned mines once

[Barmaid]

I once moved into a house share with a chap. I was trying to sort out the kitchen and opened the oven to find the cremated remains of something.

I asked him "When did you last clean your oven?"
He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language and asked with genuine disbelief "You mean ovens need cleaning?"

(Apparently the cremated remains were Christmas dinner which went wrong so he went to the pub instead. I moved in in April).

[scorpiojo]

While you're doing that, you may as well clean the whole kitchen...

[woofgang]

also the loo and bathroom

[melv16]

The Mrs says I should clean up my mind;-)

[Lie-in King]

Is that brainwashing?

[retrocop]

When I bought our new oven it specifically stated on the box, 'Self-Cleaning'...............................I think!!

[melv16]

Someone or something magically empties our dishwasher everyday. I think it could be a monkey:-)

The events at Melvz may well be a brexit stopper. we have sent rescue teams already and sniffer dogs who will be guided by the smell of burnt beef ! I will keep the house closely informed

[Ellipsis]

[melv16]

I like that, ellipsis, made me chuckle.
Anyway, I'm now an oven hero after repairing it.
The Mrs was looking at replacing it, the one she fancied cost £750-00!
Btw, I've never ever loaded a dishwasher properly, or closed the curtains or made the bed:-(

[New Judge]

I was having a pint with a friend last week. "I mustn't be late" he said "We're having the oven cleaned tomorrow". "How does that effect tonight?" says I. "Well, I've got to give it a quick going over. The missus says we cannot let the cleaning bloke see it in that state!"

[EDDIE51]

Get a self clean ovrn ! We had one . It came out spotless after a 'self clean;'

[New Judge]

"It came out spotless after a 'self clean;'"

With presumably the "self" being you, Eddie? :-)
