    nooooooo, not butter!!! it's an old wives tale - if you think about it - the oil in the butter gets hot.

    run it under a cold tap for 10 minutes and pat it dry with a non-fluffy towel.

    Not too bad BB. How are you (apart from hankering after some black treacle obviously)?
  • I'm ok, apart from my house looking like Steptoe's Yard. It's 48 hours until the carpet goes down in the living room and there is still lots to do in there. There are just 2 sofas in there at the moment, everything else is strewn everywhere around the house.

    Understanding the tight nature of the schedule, OH has wisely gone to the club to drink and watch football this afternoon.........
