    Magnet trade are doing a full gas hob, oven and extractor set - Whirlpool - for £200 plus Vat this week.

    Howdens also sell there basic lamona oven for £89.99 plus Vat at the moment. Not the best, but at that price it hardly matters.

    If any of that helps, let me know.

    My parents bought the basic Howdens oven when theirs broke in the middle of winter. Works just fine for a basic oven.

    I got a A3 certificate in the post telling me that I have successfully paid my annual subscription monies to the ICAEW for 10 years and now I can call myself FCA instead of ACA. Just need a frame and that's the wall in the downstairs loo sorted.

    What is a pinnie? I looked it up on urban dictionary but I'm not sure that's what you're talking about...

    :rotfl: :rotfl: to have a collection of that type would be awesome!

    Or, cut it into 12 pieces and you'll find a handy hook for it lower down :)

    Congratulations.... whatever it means.

    Edit: Just googled it, apparently an FCA is recognised globally .... er, in the industry maybe :)

    Comgratulations on paying your subs
    And getting your cert :)

    I'm still set on displaying my brownie sports day certificates from 1985 on the wall of the downstairs loo. We don't have a downstairs loo, which is a problem.

    Late on a Saturday night, for many men the downstairs loo doubles as the back garden.

    Just sayin'.

    I hadn't actually looked up pinnie on urbandictionary at the time, so I just did that..... then I thought "well, I'd have spelt it pinny", so put that into urbandictionary .... that's not a correct result either :)

    I didn't know what either was... however on due reflection I'd rather have a collection of pinnies than pinnys.

    I didn't know that either and I never normally need to look stuff up on Urban Dictionary.

    Horrid taps/sinks they are..... dunno who invented them, or why 'everybody' thinks they're a great idea to have. Give me standard turning taps any day .... or maybe it's just cheap fittings that are jerky and splash back.

    Now you own your house you can replace the taps.

    If you want to be credible in the specific field...you need the recognition in peer reviewed journals/text books and other reference.

    It is valuable...and some folk are not as honest in acknowledging the work of others as they should be, so that they give the impression they did more original work than they did. Ergo...the impression they are cleverer than they are in order to accrue advantage.

    What Spirit said.

    So lucky to have so many free things. I'd have enjoyed something like that. I do like old stuff/archaeology stuff/social history stuff.

    All that's free here this weekend is an opportunity to go to the quay, to see a few stalls, spend money at them and come away with your face painted (if you pay).


    Yes, I don't know what heavy cream is - taking a shot at it being double cream. I've never bought cream, so any cream is going to be on the "no" list. We never had cream in the house growing up, I've never bought any as there's no need for it in run of the mill life.

    Yes, I think powdered sugar is icing sugar.

    Except that double cream is lighter (less dense) than single cream.

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)
