Triker - glad you're alive... at least partly... I'm sure someone will find a suitable smiley for you for next time

Been to the farm shop and now have sweetcorn, aubergines, peppers, spinach, apples, cucumber, carrots, onions, lettuce and pears, so that (together with the stuff from the freezer that I sorted out last week) should keep me going for a bit.

Off to hang out washing and reload machine, then into town to see real shops and people

It's under the rim I'm needing to tackle, any tips, read on oldstyle coke soaked toilet roll stuffed there and lft over night apparently does the trick, but I'm looking for an easier option.

Its a very hard water area so tons of limescale everywhere.;)
