    Snob with vacuum tv and microwave

    Need to compromise elsewhere ;)

    Bit concerned about my cheap cooker now! Guess I could stretch passed 200 a bit but definitely no where near 500 plus. .

    With Gas cookers you don't have many (good) options, go to Currys they have most of the brands, you'll see what your money gets. The tops of most are cheap and nasty and look it,and the ovens will leak and cook unevenly.

    I'd look to save on the other stuff, Dyson you are paying for the name, their reviews are shocking, save a £100 there.

    You might save on the TV too? many brands use the same factories for the screens,you pay for the name, I have a Panasonic.

    Pay what you can afford, it'll be money well spent.

    Two words: antibacterial spray!

    one word: bleach :money:

    New fridge or freezer door seals are usually £10 - £20 if they'r really grotty or have lost their flexibility.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
