Got a Shell Driver's card also, but nominated a doggy charity for the rewards instead of collecting the vouchers. That way, I can think that while I'm pumping all those gases into the atmosphere, somewhere there's a mutt benefiting from it.

Especially as our dogs have the same carbon footprint as a VW Golf.:D

Our oven allows us to select fan oven or grill or both together. I think they are mostly like that.



Just turn the left hand knob to the appropriate pictogram and set the temperature. But I don't think *how* to operate the oven is really your difficulty. I agree that a white interior would be great, although it would show every mark.

For cleaning (please shut your eyes here PN) I switch it on to fan oven with the temperature set to zero. That turns the oven light on, so I can see to clean it.

Mine doesn't. Mine was pretty cheap though!

I made a false economy purchase with my cooker. Its the first one I have bought and I've used some pretty old cookers with odd foibles so I thought any new one would be a treat. I was wrong. I know better now, but I needed that experience to teach me that as I had had no one tell me this about cookers.

Ages since I had a cooking day. Nothing looks particularly good, but often those are the things that taste best, so I'm not despondent. Only the green beans ( last minute) and gravy totally un tackled. The sweet potato crumble looks really good. I normally just use marshmallow and spices. But this seems really good. Of course, the recipe asked for loads of sugar I took out ( did put it in the crumble topping) and a vat of cream I haven't put in...the cream might have been beneficial. And it still has marshmallows in it. IMO, sugar on top, plus mallows means you really don't need or want extra sugar with sweet potato.

I sometimes spot a nice looking biscuit recipe, or similar... cakey stuff/whatever... and for a second think "that'd be nice". Then I read the recipe and it comes down to: Take half an 8oz packet of butter/fat and mix it with a HUGE mountain of sugar.... and I think "maybe not then"

I would like a cat... just not prepared to commit to 10-20 years of ownership, costs, fur round the house, poo in the garden, vet visits, etc.

I do hope a neighbour gets one ..... one that likes my garden..

Has michaels found a camera?

Canon PowerShot 12MP Black Bridge.

Was £279.99 will be £119 plus £10 voucher in Argos tomorrow. Could reserve it now. (Showing £139.99)

Not sure if it's too bulky, but on the face of it, it's better (but bigger) than our slip into pocket Canon and I love our one.

I can't get Google to load. Not at all. It's been awhile. I can load all other sites... so I don't think it's just me.

I don't have a problem. I use chrome if that makes a difference.

There is a problem with this, that so few of us can remember it regularly.
