    hi all.
    my microwave has blown up and i am broke so can't replace it just now- don't want to make debt worse !!!


    how on earth do you manage after 12 yrs of using one ?
    any help appreciated
    many thanks,
    louise

    I have a combination oven and to be honest,the microwave bit gets used very rarely. Thats becuase i cook proper food.

    I use mine almost exclusively for heating up my grain bag and dd's wheatie bear.

    I do use it for melting butter, chocolate and defrosting finely chopped veg but I would easily manage to do without it for these purposes.

    I'd get rid of it if it weren't for the grain bag and bear.
    that's the main use I have for mine too :D

    Interesting thread! I have a very old one, and am just realising it is mostly used to put things in so the cats can't get at it.....

    Not had one for years and the only time I have missed it is when I have fancied buying a wheat bag or one of those microwave hot water bottles!
