remoska

I'm surprised - the remoska gets discussed a lot. Is it like the toaster oven they use in the states. Is it less versatile or economical than you originally thought when buying it?

I remember it being mentioned earlier on in this thread but what do you know it turns out it was me suggesting it to PN for some reason.

Never owned one myself. We have hardly any items we don't use, as we need the space. A yes a sandwich toaster.

That quick release stuff, which i am sure is allsorts of checmicals in a plastic bottle, from lakeland is amazing. We don't have it, but i loved it when i used it.

I need some lemon oil soon too, biut thre must be somewhere cheaper to get it.

Oh we love it but we used it most when the kitchen was being redecorated. we now use the oven and le cruset dishes as it's to hand rather than having to be dug out. It's a very handy appliance for smaller households and we have very limited workspace.

I don't know, do you?

If you are English then in many people's eyes (not mine) you have a strong indicator that you lack passion.

Maybe it's an Aussie thing: my mate married an Aussie girl and she used to throw water glasses at him on a fairly regular basis. Maybe it's just that Aussie women are better at throwing than most.

I am Irish. Brought up in a household mix of great craic and domestic violence. It still makes me shudder.

I have been feeling pretty guilty about my responses to your posts. If you had posted on the families board you would have been implored to "GET OUT NOW!". "RUN", and called Hun.

I might not be a nice person afterall.

OH has never thrown anything at me as far as I can recall and I am definitely an AH. She just washes my passport instead.

Happy Birthday to Lydia's little one, I think I missed that.

Discussion on another MSE board on whether a mobile phone is suitable birthday present for a 9 year old!

Yes. My DD's both have our old 3GS's, as I'd rather have someone using them than them sat in drawers.

Parent threw away LO broccoli i have been looking forward to all day . LO don't feature in the menus of parent. Which might be why they have less money than they think they oOught to.

I was going to munch on the lo broccoli which was maily stalks (my favorite bits) while they guzzled yorkshire puddings. I am making a heart shaped yorkshire pud for dh ( well, tin is heart shaped, no idea what shape pud will be and parent will get a round one. Might have got a heart one if i had broccoli stalks!
