Ooh the gritters are out! I passed 3 on the way home! Been out getting the boys their winter boots, I got the ones I had seen online and they are lovely and warm and snuggly, I fancy a pair myself, they also had some nice ladies winter boots, which were quite pretty as well as practical, but as I just bought some, I behaved. I am exhausted now, and was quite snappy with the children, I find being out and about like that quite stressful atm, poor boys

Hope you all have a nice evening. x

i am suffering psychological coldness!! its a bit breezy out and its dark and with all your reports of inclement coldness i am 'imagening' being cold--my shoulders feel all hunched and i dont want to venture out.--i came home an hour ago by motorbike and i had 2 coats on because this morning i listened to you lot lol--the wind is warm and not a cloud in the night sky!--thisis not helped by also taking part in the thread about--is your heating on or off!!! --i begrudge my gas bill at about 180gbp a year--including heating showers and hot water so i am being mean!!

I was talking to my daughter today via the internet, I was telling her about the problem I had with the hand whisk when I was trying to beat up sone chocolate cake mix, she asked if I no longer had my Kenwood chef......no it went years ago...well get yourself another one and we'll pay for it. We found one on Amazon, she has paid for it and it is being delivered to me here gift wrapped!! Aren't I the lucky one, mind you where I am going to put it I do not know, but I will find a place. I cannot wait, I have always steered clear of making meringues my hand mixer does not do such a good job beating the egg whites.....I can see a storm of baking coming up.......it has several other things with it including a slicer for taking the skin off seville oranges to make marmalade, a food processor attachment and a liquiizer.......woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

evening all! Had a bad day today, have to attend a capability hearing at work tomorrow and may lose my job! the only thing that has changed recently is that i'm not working all the extra hours i used to because i don't get paid for them!

I have a job interview on Thursday luckily.

An old collegue of mine has started his own business, and i want to sort hint to him that if he does need someone to give me a call. but i don't know how to word the email!

That's rubbish Bramble

Argos have £100 of Kenwood Chefs just now, the fancy dancey one and one of the slightly less powerful ones, making them 189 and 229, I think!

Lucky you csarina, I love mine, but its an oldie and about to die, I fear, I am trying to decide whether to bother OH for a new one or not


OMG I just checked and they're half price!!! http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500002451&langId=-1&searchTerms=KENWOOD+CHEF

You'd need to buy attachments, but WOW!

You can never have too many kitchen gadgets Donny I have a FP too, but with baking on an almost daily basis, I really appreciate a food mixer. I have RA, and don't like BM's - I gave mine away - so handbake, and the Kenwood is fabulous for this, I also abandon it and do other things which obviously I couldn't if I did it by hand. I have a wee hand mixer too, or I did, it died a week or two ago, which was good for wee mixes, but I love a big mixer. I have reserved one . Will sweet talk my lovely husband when he comes home. Although it is my birthday AND Christmas in December

Hello again everyone, hope we're all as well as can be. JackieG - you go get that Kenwood!

Well I'm tucked up in bed with a cuppa watching that new programme about ZSL, quite interesting. As I've been to London Zoo not tooo long ago I'm doing the traditional pointing and shouting "We've been there!" whenever there's an appropriate bit on screen!
