    big fat hairy bottoms.

    I have broken my food processor bowl

    I burnt my little finger making blackcurrant jam
    Burnt my thumb on spitting roast chicken fat
    and broken my little toe kicking the dyson by accident

    On the positive side we have two jars of lovely jam and the kitchen was spotless.

    Just need to move the stuff from the bottom of the stairs now and put that away.
