Skinty, before paying £6 have a quick look online as it says how to remove the rings with vinegar and olive oil.
Shopping trip was very productive and you'll have a sparkling oven soon.

Better news for your neighbours, hope they get sorted out soon....
You are getting organised Skinty, I think wood is very forgiving, and you should be able to bring it back to a better condition. I still haven't got food for tomorrow, must drag myself out to supermarket....."...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable, must be the truth..."

Wishing you the Very Best for 2021. XX
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy2 -
Well done on savings! and I am glad you treated yourself too. Wishing you a wonderful 2021!Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

Have just fed the dog. She was so scared last night with all the fireworks but seems to be back to her normal self this morning. DS has just gone to work.A friend unexpectedly came round last night as she had just found out a dear friend of hers passed away in the morning. She had known her since they went to school together and our DS’s went to school with one of her DD’s. She was very upset and in tears so I couldn’t turn her away, we had a socially distanced drink and toasted her life. As one crap year ends lets hope 2021 is a better year for all.Chrystal I am in awe of your signature, you are so right especially ‘Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that’s why it is called the present’ Thinking of friends and family and celebrating the lives of those sadly no longer with us, including my dearest mum, but remembering life is a gift. Also received 2 pictures from 2 other friends of their new grandsons, and so the circle of life continues.
