    frankerooney ok honey I can see we will have to get you past the oven when its next on the list!!!! once you have conquered it it will never be a problem - and you will have to stop being an all or nothing gal - it can be hazardous to your health:rotfl:

    Thank you toottifrooti, appreciate your encouragement! I did put oven cleaner in last time oven cleaning came up, but I think I overdid it and DH had a pig of a job cleaning it all off. The cleaning stuff, together with mucky brown sludge had seeped through to the drawer underneath the oven... I was not popular :o. So that sorry experience rather put me off oven cleaning :o.
