    Given that you'll require virtually no advanced functions lir, the supermarkets and big stores often do microwaves as part of their basics ranges.
    Yeah, I've got the Sains one here.... brilliant little work horse.

    They're not as cheap as they used to be though - mine's £32 at the minute, so certainly out of the "grab it" price range and into the "think about it/research" range.

    Easy life.... going on a course to invent things that won't need to be made, so they don't have to work/be feasible/be financially reasonable.

    Did they feed you?

    It was a training tool, definitely learnt more than by just reading about processes. Certainly wasn't easy pulling together the powerpoint slides, and trying to get people working as a team!
    Got a weeks meals, and made friends with someone who works in another department on my site who has access to treats :)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    The secret is to have more than one - a laundry basket for dirty stuff (or two, if you separate whites and colours before putting them for washing) and a basket to put stuff in once it's cleaned, and before it is ironed or put away. Or before you get dressed out of it, if you don't get round to the "putting away" part.



    Here my separation is...
    Whites
    Coloureds ( so e times subdivided into colour groups.....like reds with warm purples, pinks, oranges, yellows and blues with greens cooler purples

    Darks

    Then woollens and delicates ( light and dark of course :o)

    The hand wash...... No colour separation. ( unless masses and masses to do)


    Dog washing is not divided, nor are cleaning stuff/ teatowels :o

    Doing the washing had never bothered me, but I'm fed up of it now!

    Our box fits stuff in fine when we're away - it's not a little tin box, it's a large shelf, which can accommodate even the HMRC's missives.
    I've not tested my box ..... I couldn't even pick it out of a line up. I'll inspect it tomorrow. It's just a random/small box that somebody who doesn't have to use it picked.

    That's the trouble with people who don't have to use things picking them.... they get it wrong.

    Thirty two is amazing! I thought I'd be looking at 80 -120 for something really basic.

    ..I wonder where I would put it. Bedroom?
