Bit of overkill.... I was thinking more of an old fray bentos tin can and a random bit of mesh/metal/racking from a car boot for about £1. And a bag of cheapo charcoal. It only needs to be big enough for one burger, cooked once, just to show it can be done and works.....

You can buy a ready to light disposable barbecue. Two for £3.86 at Homebase.

i am a new one too..welcome to the nice people group...got a bit lost the last couple of weeks really..relatives staying(gone now) and building a new pond that has taken over our lives at the moment...patio now one side with sun umbrella and chairs...lots of planting up with bamboo trellis cut from the garden surrounding it now on 3 sides..water fall with lots of stones around the outside of the pond...very pleased with ourselves and plasters and pain killers have come in very useful too.
BBQ weather now at last...(only joking its cold in the evenings still)

best wishes Dianne

At the moment I am on Cetirizine (sp) but finding it pretty ineffective (although I know things are a lot worse if I forget to take it for a day or two). I am going to try Loratidin (sp) again tomorrow for a few days although in the past I have found it makes me very drowsy. I do find the avascrine works but only for a few hours and again drowsy. Lots of people seem to recommend the nasal sprays - I have found in the past they casue my nose to bleed but I might try at very low dose.

I just just written a very good methphorical poem and am working on an origami clover leaf, how come I found this stuff so hard when I was a school?

Curiously, I find cetirizine intensely soporific, but Loratidine keeps me awake. So, I take cetirizine in the evening and the other in the morning. A quarter of the normal dose of each seems to do it.

My hayfever has lessened over the years. From needing to take industrial strength tablets that were then withdrawn as unsafe, to taking the occasional benadryl (acrivastine).

At its worst I found a combination of eye drops, nasal spray and tablets worked best.

I made home made pizza. Decided to blind bake the bases, so they'd be crispy. But forgot to !!!!! them with a fork. Big panic when I ended up with bases which had puffed up like a pillow 3 or 4" high.

DW rescued the situation. She's my hero.

Dinner improved by a glass or two of very nice Argentina Malbec. https://www.majestic.co.uk/Vinalba-Reservado-Malbec-zid40072

In the words of Mrs. Glenn Miller (June Allyson) "Well, honestly!"

Censorship in cooking instructions now! :rotfl:

You'll just have to guess what I might have done to pizza bases with a fork.

Hmm - 'Fork!' is what I say when something really annoys me - perhaps we should write f**k instead?

That would make a good username too!

Yesterday we went to see the Matisse Exhibition at Tate Liverpool. It was interesting. A whole life bound up in one exhibition.

Today I'm utterly knackered. Didn't manage to get out of bed to see dear GrandTwins. DD2 came and visited me in bed.

Had to wait hours for taxi to get there, by the time it arrived I was losing the will to live. Plus then it had to drop us a long way from Tate entrance... Several hundred yards in wheelchair over cobblestones in a freezing wind.

Tate Liverpool is a fab gallery, once you get there everyone is very helpful if you're in a wheelchair, but the whole Albert Dock complex is carp when it comes to wheelchair or disabled access. Grrrrrr!
