Are You a Kitchen Slut?

Jeez, I hope not. According to iVillageUK's Food site, I'm more Queen of Cool. However, this slut-or-not quiz also discovered a dark side to my personality hiding behind the canister of dishwasher-soap tablets under the sink.

"You scored 60% Queen of Cool
You’re in control (no one’s likely to be poisoned in your kitchen) yet, somehow, it seems to happen effortlessly. So what’s your secret? Natural efficiency – coupled with a sense that there are other, more pleasurable things to do with your time. So you
tackle what needs to be done, with the minimum of fuss. And then you do something more interesting."

"You scored 40% Wannabe Slut" (I'm 44; what do you expect?)
"If only you were more organised. You always assumed that, one day, you’d suddenly become a proper grown-up – with dried goods stored in labelled jars and a sparkling, well-stocked fridge. That day has yet to arrive. In the meantime, you try to maintain a façade of togetherness – fighting a growing sense of inadequacy as you boot dropped toast crusts under the cooker. It’s time for a switch in attitude. Accept your chaotic surroundings – or call the dust-busters."

Well, it's not that bad. No toast crusts under the stove. Maybe a dust bunny or two. Take the quiz and see whether you're a slut, a Queen of Cool, a SuperSlut, or the worst of all possibilities: a Jiffy-Cloth Supremo, (we're guessing that's bad, although we don't know what a Jiffy-Cloth is and probably wouldn't use it if we did) with a shiny kitchen and no friends.
Late-breaking update!
Our good friend Mark Brownlow, an expatriate Brit living in Vienna, of all places, tells us that a Jiffy-Cloth is a well-known brand of dishcloth, red and white, perhaps? and something that brings back bad memories for him, so we shan't push for details. Ta!
