NSD 9 today. Sorted through the freezer last night and we have plenty of food so how come every time we go shopping we spend 50 pound plus:mad::mad:. I meal plan the week and write a shopping list. Got the mountain of ironing to do tonight oh the thrill of being a mum!!!!!!!!!!

Spend day here. Food shop done for the week.....although can't cook anything cos the cooker has died. Feel very annoyed at present cos our emergency fund will be wiped out replacing it!! Although at least we had an emergency fund. Every cloud n all that!x

thanks l2b i don't have a fund for my cooker just yet it was insured and i was paying 5 a month for ten months but got letter other day aying they want £34 a month :mad::eek:no chance of that so i need to save as much as possible before it gets too old 14yrs its done well but everything is taking so much longer to cook its gas and i'm not good with electric ovens always had gas cooker but if it comes to it i might try a mini oven and if i don't like it so much it will at least do meals till i can save up for a gas one again thanks again and hope you get your new cooker soon

I've got a counter top mini oven - and it's absolutely useless !!!

no real control of the temperature, and it seems to have VERY pronouced hot and cold spots it's not even any good as a grill !!!

Thanks

What to try Muffin man is a halogen mini oven.
I have only had ours a wee while and it is fab.
I have an electric cooker that was taking longer and longer to heat up so find the halogen fab.
My son finds it great for cooking his pizza or whatever.
Twas £30 from Aldi.
It just sits on top of my worktop.
