Hiya everyone.
I am the big 30 on the 20th of feb:eek: and dh has asked me what i want.
And seen as i have been being so sensible lately with money and am becoming very os i have asked him for a new breadmaker.
But have no idea which one or if there is something that maybe more useful to me.
I already have a electric steamer ,2 slow cookers, cheap 1lb bm without a timer can anyone else recommened any os gadgets you love or couldnt do without.??:rolleyes:

I got so much stick from my mates as my 30th pressies were : a cookery weekend (from DH, fab ), a gardening course, and a pair of slippers! Middle age starts here you know.

Oooh! What a good idea. I buy wine mainly for cooking rather than drinking so it sits around in an open bottle for a long time. Don't know why I didn't think of that before. I already freeze left over gravy in the ice cube tray and have done the same with batter.

If you make all your bread for home use, go for a nice BM (I have the MR Fastbake, and it's great). It will make SUCH a difference to have a timer

For my 30th OH and some of my friends went to my home is South Africa for a party (and holiday), and OH bought me a piano :j

Come on, it's your 30th!!!
Splash out and don't get household stuff.

Do not go gentle into that good night...

Tchibo dehydrator. That's what OH bought me for my birthday - although he doesn't know it!!!
