Whoops!

[mumsie-to-three]

There was an almighty crash and bang from the kitchen this morning followed by several expletives.  OH in taking a bowl out of the cupboard for his porridge had managed to drop all the bowls on the floor.  I think 6 have broken.  Too many bits to count.  Sods law that the bowls I don't like are still intact.  All my lovely blue and white ones I had bought over the years from charity shops and antique fairs have gone!!  Nothing very valuable thank goodness.  Suppose it's an excuse to go and buy some more!

What a shame Mumsie.:-( I hope you can find replacements.

[mumsie-to-three]

I've just been telling my daughter and she thinks we should go on a trip to her favourite factory shop in the Potteries.  Any excuse!

Mumsie, I know just how you feel, having done the same thing last week.  I broke all my dishes and have also done it before, a few years ago dropped all my pasta dishes on the floor!  I bought some cheap ones to tide us over a couple of days ago but I bet we'll have those for years and years!

We've got through some sets of glasses in our time but one glass that has survived almost thirty years is a cheap little glass we got free from a petrol station whilst on holiday in about 1985!

We've still got, and use, all our glasses we got from the petrol station!!  :^O

We hardly ever drop or break anything, I don't know why, we just never do.  When I got fed up of my dinner service I gave it away and there was every plate, dish, casserole and lid, gravy boat and saucer.....the lot, all still intact.  We'd got it as a wedding present and used it every day for about 35 years.!!  Boy, was I sick of the sight of it!!:^O

I hope you find replacements mumsie, even better than you had before!:-D

there is a china search site you could go on, they stock everything.

I cannot keep a set of 6 glasses to save my life. being a coo I can bust any glass you like:-(

we buy ours at car boot sales at 20p a time:^O I'm hopeless with glass. well in fact with anything, I've just chipped my dinner plate, we use Booths Real old Willow which are real tough ......but not tough enough for me:_|

[mumsie-to-three]

There is actually a china search place in the town where I live but it isn't very expensive.

I loved my different blue and white dishes, some were Old Willow, one I bought in America. I looked in the charity shops today but couldn't find any.  I'll have to hit the car boot sales.

We haven't broken much crockery over the years, although when I was newly married I knocked several casserole dishes which had been wedding presents out of the cupboard onto a stone floor. I think one broke and a couple of lids.  I can still remember how heartbroken I was.

Our problem now is arthritic hands, especially in the mornings. Oh the joys of getting older!

[mumsie-to-three]

I'm sure I typed "it is very expensive" not isn't.  This iPad keeps altering all my words.

Oh noooooo!      :_|

I love blue and white - especially willow pattern.   My husband's aunt gave me some vintage willow pattern a while ago and I'm terrified of using it as everything gets chipped/dropped/otherwise mangled in this house.    

I hope you have fun replacing them from bootsales - tell Mr Mumsie that its essential you do!

Lovely to see you back posting :-x

[cat-knitter]

I hope you manage to find some nice replacements too Mumsie 🙂

Were like CG & hardly break anything, we've been using the same "boots Hedge Rose" for longer than I care to remember but I still like it & would hate to break any  :^O

[petitecalicocat]

Good luck finding replacements mumsie 🙂

We were the same never chipped or broken hardly anything ...........................until we bought a dishwasher now we havnt a mug in the cupboard without a chip in it 😞

[chickengrandma-2008]

What make of dishwasher is it pcc?  We've never had anything break in the dishwasher.:O  Are you sure it's not a washing machine???:^O

[ilove2patch]

Me neither. Only if I clonk them together!

[merc1_clocks]

I've never owned a dishwasher:| always wanted one, but OH says no!!

[ilove2patch]

My hubby was my dishwasher so when I lost him I bought one.;-) He used to hoover too but I have to do that myself! lol

[chickengrandma-2008]

Get a Toby!:^O

They don't do on top of the skirting board or get spider webs off the ceiling!:-(

[10phizz]

...........as long as he does all the washing up that`s fine.........if you do it , get one !

[petitecalicocat]

Its the way the mugs are loaded into the dishwasher by  ' he who is always right ' he stacks to many in it at once X-(

[mumsie-to-three]

Managed to get some replacement dishes off here, but will still keep an eye open for other blue and white ones at the car boots.  Let's see how long these last!

[chickengrandma-2008]

They're pretty mumsie.  (Mumsie is what my son calls me when we're messing about and I call him boysie!:^O  He'd be horrified to know I'd put that on here, he's 43!!! ) :^O
