    Right, what do you DFWs think - we are doing a huge decluttering/reorganising of the house and I have realised I just don't use my slow cooker and bread machine anymore.

    I did a lot before I was pregnant, but the smell of the bread made me nauseous in the beginning, and it never really recovered.

    Freecycle?

    Or hang on and try to use?

    I personally would wait and see what happens when you're back at work, particularly with the slow cooker. Its getting to the time of year for stews and things and you'll love coming home knowing dinner is pretty much done.

    If the bread smell still bothers you the breadmaker probably isn't going to see much use though so Freecycle that...

    oooooh, hang on...........does anyone still have the link to that DFW forum that was set up a year or so ago? I can't even remember who was the administrator. We posted on it for a bit after a complaint that the parties were getting too rude!

    We could use that!

    It was Tigzem IIRC. But I believe she said she was going to dismantle it, so it may not be there any more.

    I have my laptop back - woo hoo......it cost me £80:eek: but I had to pay it to earn the £120 on some work I had started.

    Had some good news on some potential further income through OH, so thats good too. MOT cost me £88 :T and my new blinds have been fitted (£400 for 4). They look lovely - so not much of an MSE day for me, but at least I can work now (and MSE!)

    And I have been for a run, first time in a week..bit more studying for me later. Where's Jinky today - she not been in.

    I've checked my Favourites and I don't have it any more :( I must have deleted it thinking we'd not need it again.
