Wow, I must be a real moaner - I have a list as long as my arm!
1. People - ie my husband- snacking on foods that were meant to be part of a meal! We long since decided the best way to stick to a buget and still both be happy with our food was to have a brief discussion and prepare a loose menu plan at the beginning of the week. Of course it shifts and the meals never come in thee order we decided them too. I buy extra "snack" foods for emergency munching.
2. New milk being opened when the old one is not fished and milk being left outside the fridge. Yuk.
3. I really like it when people come and chat to me in the kitchen. There are even some jobs I am more than happy to share if help is offered. But if I say, to just pull up a chair have a drink and chat to me, that is what I mean. My kitchen, my food, me making it!
I sympathise with the cat thing, btw. I LOVE MY ANIMALS, but I spent a long time training the cats to NOT jump on benches. I have one cat for who a slight allowance is made, she is allowed to sit on my shoulder like a parrot, or in the apron pocket, if she is clean and well brushed. BUT never on the benches. Unfortunately the cats have been staying with my mother while we are looking for womewhere to live and she started putting their food bowls on an unused area of bench. Of course they can't tell the difference, so I have some bad habits to break when I get my cats back.
