Birthday Help-Too Much OS To Choose From!

Options
Hi All,

Its my birthday soon :T and I am going to ask my DH to go in with his mum and sister to get me something usefull for my kitchen OS style.

Sounds FAB right? It is but I cant choose what to get :rolleyes: HELP PLEASE!

On the wanted list are;

yogurt maker
bread maker
juicer

Each has its benefits, the yogurt maker would benefit the kids mostly,DH wont eat HM but should still save money with it if Ican get the sprogs to eat it ;) . The BM is purely selfish cause I just LURVE thesmell of HM bread. Not sure how to slice it though, aint that daft :o The juicer would benefit usall in terms of the 5 a day, as the kids dont eat nearly enough fruit and veg. The do drink my neighbours HM juice so this would work out.

What do you think I should choose?!?

Help,
Al.

    I would choose something for YOURSELF, I would divorce my husband if he bought me anything like that. It's your day, treat yourself..
    I haven't got one!

    I would suggest a nice quality all fangled singing and dancing bread maker as the other two can be picked up very cheaply.

    Right, breadmaker it is then, I really do want one. The next big ? is which one???

    I will be able to spend about £60-70 on it from birthday money,amybe a bit more if I put some in too.

    I'm not too bothered about lots of programmes butI think one with a programmable timer would be ideal so I could do a loaf over night. Isuppose a bigger loaf is better too? We do get through a shop bought one very 2 days.

    Any thoughts?

    Definately the breadmaker! I got the Panasonic one with the dispenser and I love it! Never buy bread now! I must admit, thought, that I am quite happy with kitchen gizmos as presents (some people think I'm sad, but I can live with it!)

    It's no contest, the Panasonic with nut dispenser. If mine broke down today we'd be straight out to buy another one!
    Enjoying an MSE OS life :D
