  • I was using one of those braun hand held thingys and kind of tilted it and it FLEW everywhere. So, I cleaned it up and bloody did it again! Admitted defeat then and came back on here...that's what you get for trying to be a domestic goddess.

    I have one of them too and I always end up in a right mess Bunny:rolleyes: I find that they either splat everywhere or they seem to vacuum themselves to the bottom of the pan so you can hardly move it, and when it does move.............splat.

    DS has gone to bed and left a pumpkin style container full of sweeties on the coffee table - wonder if I can move it into kitchen and succumb only to a tangerine...
