I will have to own up now: I should really have named this thread, "... to still be annoyed with DH after 30 years".
Yes, that is about how long it is since DH committed this dreadful crime.
I regularly let him know how annoyed I still am. The most recent occasion was two days ago, when I was preparing a huge, typically English Sunday dinner for some Russian visitors, and wanted to make a steamed sponge for dessert. I know I can make a very passable "steamed" sponge in the microwave, but as I have said to DH umpteen times, why should I have to when I have had the perfect bowl to make the real thing?
To all of you who suggested ways of cleaning said bowl, I apologise for wasting your time, but believe me, it was well past cleaning when I finally found it.
Now, so you still think I am reasonable? I'm not sure - even I can see that 30 years is a long time to hold a grudge for something so trivial in the great scheme of things. Not that I have any intention of letting him of the hook yet
Gracesmum, I think you might want these back now you know how unreasonable I really am (Sorry, I did have a sip of the wine)
