Gotta go now tho .... always something. Have to prepare the room, and get a snack, since I won't be able to eat again before 4.30.... have a good'un.

Have a good day! Hope you find a suitable food processor - we have one of the mini choppers and it's brilliant for things that would be really hard by hand. Scarily sharp!

Thanks Taxi - btw, your weight loss in your sig looks *really* good.

Thanks Squizz - I very nearly bought one of those mini choppers, in fact my brother just bought one for my mum, but she finds it too small, and once I read you have to cut things up into half inch chunks, the reason for having it disappeared. A processor will make soup, it will chop veggies, it will knead dough and mix cakes and pastry and whatnot, thats what I want really. Sainsbo didn't have one reduced, tho, so no go there. JL sale has just started, according to St Martin, so I'll have a butchers

It minces veggies, rather than chops them. Depends what you're wanting really. Do you want veggies as fine as in coleslaw - or do you want chip size?

In other news: I've just discovered I have satellite TV listing magazines from 1994. Do you think they're out of date? :rotfl:

Erm, I think I want them coleslaw size. Tho some of the machines have a "chipper"

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Z, are you decluttering? Have you caught the bug? :T:T:T

This no-tv thing is interesting, actually - I don't think I'll do it permanently, but this morning, instead of watching 20 minutes of breakfast news, I was wandering about tidying up, I put the shredder where I can use it (there's a lot of shredding accumulating), looked at evening classes at the local community college thats ten minutes walk from me, stuff like that, it was great. But downloading stuff to watch in the evening is currently a no-no, as my internet link just disappears - its on the list of things-to-do, but there's such a lot on that list, it'll be a while before I get to it.

Of the *physical* jobs around here, these are the priorities:
- get the curtains up in the porch (nearly done, just entails sewing a lining in, they're voile).
- the buddleia.
- shredding.
- getting the table up.

Plus lots of admin bits on the computer and elsewhere. But if I can get those four jobs done before trading, I will consider myself to be ... erm ... I can't think of a word that doesn't come over as arrogant, conceited, egocentric, blah blah, so I'll just say, if I can do all that, I'll be very pleased :D:D

Be great if you can find something that does everything you want. Erm, I'm talking about food processors here of course

How's the buddleia? Ha.. .cross posted! Is it nice weather there for gardening?

How about 'chuffed' KC ?

Good luck with it all.xx

Food processors:

- there's a Kenwood with a 1000w motor on Amazon for £70, the two criticisms in the reviews are that the central spindle tends to come out when you lift things off it (and that might be an issue for me with arthritis) and that its very light (and since I want to use it to make gluten free bread, and you have to leave it going for 5 - 10 mins, it might dance itself right off the worksurface).

- but the alternative is a John Lewis one made of metal, so no dancing, but its £115. Thats a socking big leap!


Ellidee - chuffed indeed :D:D Nobody says that down here, so then what jumped into my little brain was "Angel of the North" :rotfl:see what I mean about egocentric?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:





EDIT - the weather down here is *dreadful" for gardening - it was pretty hard rain yesterday, which is why the buddleia didn't get done then. Today, its just constant rain, bah.

KC whenever I am thinking of buying an electrical item I go to the library and look at the Which magazines to find their reviews, and look for the best buy etc. There is usually an index at the back of the December issue to save you trawling through them all. HTH
