That's a great idea but expensive and I'll have nowhere to store it afterwards. My two weeks without a cooker was a nightmare in terms in feeding my son, however I've just realised I did not have a microwave then which I do now, so it will be a lot easier actually.

Boiled egg in a micro is cheaper, easier and quicker...go girl!

Easily done with a £40 micro or halogen oven..so cheap to feed him..on you go...your son is not a nightmare to feed.

Well I find him a nightmare to feed (I am constantly dishing up the same five meals) and he is certainly the fussiest eater I know of his age group. I really wouldn't be calling him a nightmare to feed if he wasn't, I would much prefer it if he wasn't.

You can boil an egg in a microwave???

LABMAN

Crack it into a small microwavable container and give it 30 seconds, stir it gently a bit and zap it again for 20 seconds and have a look again and give it another 10 secs if needed...and so on until ready.

You can buy cheap microwaveable shaped egg cups that work a treat...I haven't actually 'boiled' an egg in years.

Adapt and learn...this is not a major problem you can't easily work around with a bit of thought and help

Get rid of stuff. Stick in at the back of your wardrobe. Anywhere. They aren't big. Expensive? They're only £30 from Argos the same place you'll be going to in the morning to complain.

So far...I couldn't go to work tonight. My mum drove 45 mins to look after my son so that I could go to work but wasn't needed after all.

You what...you couldn't go to work because the cooker didn't work you're having a laugh. Really....and you had a microwave.

It might have had nothing to do with the installer. Its quite possible he fitted the cooker perfectly correctly and that some internal failure of the appliance has occurred since connection.

If you had it installed a week and a half ago and it's just went it's not the installers fault, sounds like it's a cooker that's developed a fault.


There is not much to installing a cooker and nothing for them to do inside the oven so your either exaggerating the problem or you got the worst employee from the national grid, as he doesn't know what he's talking about.


Attach the hose to the back, plug it into the bayonet fitting and carry out a gas tightness test and if the pressure doesn't drop it's installed correctly.


Whatever's happened is the cooker fault, they do not touch internal pipes, the national grid employee would know that.

He said there was leak coming from one of the pipes in the oven and that this had obviously not been properly checked by the gas installer.

Without him knowing exactly where the leak was coming from, that's quite an assumption to make.
I would have thought that if the leak should have been spotted by the installer then it has been leaking from the moment it was fitted and if this is the case, why has it taken a week and a half for you to notice it?
