    Hi Nicki

    Put your slow cooker on Auto - means it can be on for LONG periods of time without overcooking the food.

    If you don't have auto (mine doesn't) leave it on low. I sometimes put mine on at 6am and get home at 9pm and it's fine (in fact it's more than fine, it's FABULOUS because I'm so hungry by then :D )

    Thanks to both of you!! I don't have auto either I have; Low (which the instruction manual states is not for cooking it is the keep warm setting) Medium and high, I think I will bung some flour in and put on low, then hope for the best:confused:

    In that case, I think your medium is the equivalent of my low, so keep it on medium so that it keeps cooking, as I don't think you should keep it on low for too long. As long as it is bubbling you're fine.

    Been to town, deeply unpleasant experience: I hate it there and have told myself I'll stick to online and local shopping from now on. Got back later than planned and just had a coffee and skinny cake for my (late) lunch, so lasagne saved for tomorrow.

    I need to get on with the list now and also with prepping dinner....

    HHC 4.30-5pm anyone?
