    We call it the sqirters, that seems a bit wrong now I have written it down.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I did refer to them as that when they broke and I had to explain to the garage man what was wrong... "they're not going zzzzzzz" :rolleyes:

    Luckily it was under warranty so he couldn't take advantage of my stupidity :D

    well I had to open some wine to put a splosh in the risotto and have had about half a glass and I feel rather tipsy! oops!
    Not been a bad day really... freebie snow globe cards arrived (on low spend freebies board if you fancy them)and won another £10 on BB. Had lovely chicken and bacon risotto for dinner so all good really!
