    A couple of other things put me off slow cookers:

    - to me it seems weird knowing what you might want to eat for dinner, let alone preparing an evening meal in the morning (but then I rarely cook from scratch in the evenings, if I want something hot it will be HM and sourced from the freezer)
    - I have a fear of returning home to a bunch of burning embers instead of a house :o

    Hope is not a strategy :D...A child is for life, not just 18 years....Don't get me started on the NHS, because you won't win...I love chaz-ing!

    Gosh you would hate how I do it - I plan my weekly meals on a Sunday night haha!
    I definitely agree with the latter point though I would be very concerned so I would probably cook it the night before while I'm watching East Enders ;):o
