This is what happens when you leave two boys to do the washing up...solution to no dishwasher tablets was squirt some fairy liquid in, slam door and switch on!! Perfect...until the bubbles slowly started taking over the kitchen! They still loudly proclaim they definitely do not want a female flatmate...ok boys...watch this space for disaster updates!

And this was the response to my post...!

Dear APT,

Situation update.

After much deliberating my co-conspirator and I decided to leave it overnight in the hope that the bubbles would disappear and therefore solve the issue, so promptly went to bed. Upon  arriving at the scene before leaving for work the next day I found the bubbles still very much there having solidified into a bubbly gloop, not unlike flubber (a 1997 film classic starring Robin Williams “An absent-minded professor discovers "flubber, a rubber-like super-bouncy substance“.) We then decided to maintain the act of ignorance throughout the day and hope that on our return back from work the bubbles would be gone.

We were right.

But not through our own brilliance, the fact that they were gone is down to the arrival of “The Third Party” our housemate Ben who had arrived back from 5 days boozing and 2 hours skiing in Val d’isere. He was not happy by what he found and swore never again to leave Assailant A and Assailant B in the house by themselves again, after cursing our names he cleaned up the mess and rectified the situation.

We still maintain to this day that fairy liquid is a cost cutting measure when there are no dishwasher tablets and we definitely 150% do NOT want a girl housemate, as we have Ben, mother to us all.
