Oh NO! For some people, that would be big inconvenience - for you, it's a total DISASTER. :eek::D

Hope it is fixed quickly and without too much expense

yep it's a total disaster! Thankfully I can cook meals on the hob and under grill, microwave and slow cooker-also the George F0reman
as for baking :eek: I don't even want to think about it!

Good work. Spurred on by your list, I hereby promise to do my list tomorrow. :T

If I have a lot of paperwork to shred, I burn it in the garden incinerator instead - much quicker and kind of fun.

we don't have a garden incinerator. last time Mr tc tried to burn some in our chimenea it was a very bad plan! Enough said. :rotfl:
I look forward to seeing your to do list peaceandfreedom.

so do I. Mr tc suggested cleaning it-I noticed he didn't offer to do it though! :rotfl:
I think it's probably worn out too. Ideally, I'd like a range-Mr tc is hoping our current one is fixable as the one I've seen is over 1k :eek: :rotfl:

Hi Tattycath - is the oven fixed?

Glad you've been out enjoying some family time in the sunshine.

I'm afraid I must confess to not having done my proper to-do list for April - maybe tomorrow? :embarasse

Tattycath - just wanted to say hi. :wave:

You haven't been around for a little while - hope you are OK and enjoying some family time this Easter hols.

I have spent some time in the garden and have also been out and about quite a bit visiting places and on days out with friends. It's been good.

I am also strongly considering doing some baking this afternoon to make a dessert for after dinner - you'd be proud of me.

What have you been up to?

Hi peaceandfreedom :wave:
Been having some family time-visiting family and day trips etc.
Went to a car boot early this morning-but it was really cold so we came home and I went back to bed for a could of hours :rotfl:
Oven still :eek: so it looks like we need a new one -well, new to us...I will have to see what we can sort. Meanwhile I'm looking for stuff I can make without baking.

@sd@ is closed today so I decided we would call in last night on the off chance there would be some bargains. We ended up getting:
A seeded loaf
Half a dozen white bread rolls
Half a dozen whole grain rolls
Gorgonzola
2 cheese and garlic flatbreads
Some sliced ham
Cumberland sausage-cooked
6 pork sausages-cooked
For the grand total of £1.70
We did buy some other stuff too-but I had price guarantee vouchers for nearly £3
It worked out that we got about £20 worth of stuff for about £7.50
If only I had a bigger freezer-I could have bought 10 large loaves for £1!
Right, off to make a cuppa.
Trying to concentrate on family for a bit coz poor Mr tc was beginning to think he was a mse widower. :rotfl:

What a haul at A£da. :T

Have a great day tomorrow TC
