I also have enough to replace my old cooker! TBH - it was guzzling so much electricity I reckon it will save money to have the new one! It had one setting - full on and even this meant a normal casserole took over 3 hours to cook!
Crikey! Buy a slow cooker from Tesco's for £20 and do all your casseroles in it. They only use the power of a lightbulb and save ££££££s.0 -
My milestone came last October when we were debt free so this July is the first time I've felt so relaxed about Summer in 10 years.0
