    Just knocked the lid off my pressure cooker on the floor and part of the handle has come off - so I've now got a sharp piece at the end of my handle!:mad:

    Contact the manufacturers.. it is MUCH cheaper to buy a ne handle than replace the whole thing.. they usually send out the replacements free too.. worth a try!!

    Post first and i'll read later.

    Bo is home:j :j :j :j :j , vet rang yesterday to say he thought bo was recovering well and that he could come home. It rained here all day yesterday all roads where flooded except one so we made it 80 miles in total yesterday to get him home. Added in was the 3 hours spent in the rain moving cattle (river in the feild burst its banks).

    Hen night was good last night badly hung over today, woke to find bo had moved himself off his bed and got into DD's room (don't know how he managed it), will put photo's up later.

    Now to get children dressed....
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
