    Evening all :D

    We picked up Fred The Fiat this morning, and he's lovely. I drove all the way home on the city bypass myself - which is quite an achievement as I haven't driven on my own for about four years :j

    I'm just about to take him out to Morrisons to test the boot space now - I really know how to live! Tomorrow myself and Mr Fresian are heading to the office I sometimes go to in Fife so I can make sure I'm happy with the route and the traffic, then he's going to get to drive it too!

    Well, we have done a few little drives today, just to make sure we understand how Fred works of course ;)

    I need a little assistance though - my slow cooker is on the way out (the electrical bit at the front that controls the temperature is loose, and I don't want to leave it on all day with loose wiring) and I'm looking for someone to recommend a good one for me to buy. I want a good deal, and don't need a huge cooker, I think that 3.5L or thereabouts would do me. All suggestions gratefully received :D

    I used to have a 3.5L Cookworks Slow Cooker, it was given to me as a gift and served me well but I found it wasn't really big enough to enable me to batch cook or make rubber chicken so I now have huuuuuuuuuge Morphy Richards one. I passed my Cookworks one on to a good home and am glad to say it is still going strong. I think Argos still sell them.
