    Was quite productive yesterday cleaning wise, so have a slight head start on list ;).
    No more hall cupboards to clean so will substitute another kitchen one (big scary tins one!).
    Hope all are well and hugs to those who need (sorry not read thread since last night!).

    The formula for a cylinder is the square of the radius, times pi, times the height - ensuring all measurements are in the same units.

    But the easy way to do it would be to fill the cake-tin with water and pour it into a measuring jug and convert from fl oz to cubic inches. 1 fl oz = 1.73 cubic inches.

    (Alternatively, using metric, 1 ml = 1 cubic centimetre = 0.06 cubic inches.)

    Flippin' heck that's genius - there was me racking my head for formulae...
