Aha well this changes things - are you sure she hasn't got it somewhere for "special occasions"?? That's where our good full cutlery set is. We don't use it often.
Yeah, I was thinking this too. I don't use our expensive cutlery set often, but it comes out for things like Christmas or special birthdays. I wouldn't naturally go and use it for a family catch-up dinner (wow, that sounds REALLY bad!)

ETA - Sorry, just saw your reply.
