    Slow cookers are brilliant - I wouldn't be without mine. You can buy cheap cuts of meat (or joints) and cook overnight. Alternatively if you stick the meat and veg in before you go out to work and leave it all day you get lovely tender meat with rich tasty gravy and the veggies cooked as well so that when you come home jiggered your evening meal is ready to serve AND all for the same cost as a lightbulb being on.

    This one is a good buy at the mo for much less than half price

    Thanks for this Consultant31! I am thinking of getting a slow cooker as well, but the ones that I had seen so far are about 3.5 litre...this one is a better size and a good price! On the other hand, like Isy, I am trying to be a super saver and I do have vouchers for John Lew1s and Lakel*nd. Hmmm, decisions, decisons.

    Oh god loads of stress for a moment!! I got a mini promotion last week (couple of points up payscale) but just got letter from HR saying my salary was dropping by half! Got through to HR they said they had made mistake. My husband just said 'why did you get stressed I knew you would sort it and you did' I said 'yes I sort it but it must be nice never having to get stressed about money'
