    I would use it for baby slop and the masher might mean I can do the potatoes and not have to have OH do it every time as I can't.. I did want a ricer but alas they are extortionate.. then I would use it for choppering for stews etc..

    Lists up for Tomorrow and Wednesday.. OH having a wisdom tooth out tomorrow so I might be needed as nursemaid so thought I'd get it done now for you.. so I don't forget!

    I couldn't make a decision on blender.. I am sure last time I mentioned it I wanted Soappies lol.. see I am so sad I covet other peoples hand blenders.. I've had 3 and all of them burned out within 2 or 3 uses.. one literally melted in my hand!

    Bedtime in here I think.. I am exhausted for some unknown reason! It isn't like I have even done anything today.. loaded DW, cooked dinner, emptied and refilled TD.. see.. nothing!
