If its smeg would they help fix it for a lower cost? Hi btw, long time reader! xx

Hey @bookworm_nat123 so nice to see you! I doubt it, it was a refurbished one from EBay about 3 years ago. I’m going to have a go with some Viakal on the kettle and see what I can do.

Ebay haven’t actually got any refurbished ones anyway. So that option isn’t viable.

Hi Missy 😊 Glad to see your friend looks to be getting better, what a worrying time for you all xx

With the toaster and kettle (do feel free to ignore me!) could you get cheap ones for now to tide you over? I know they might not match, and you might need an extension lead, and might have to do two lots of toast if you can only get a 2 slice one... but you did mention the other day that you still weren't sure how you were going to pay your tax bill and this might just help out a little bit towards that (or might mean you don't have to teach an extra class or two?)

(Sorry if I'm speaking out of turn - I speak as someone who is currently using a toaster that Mr Cheery rescued from someone on their way to throwing it in the electrical bin at the tip so the prospect of spending any money on a toaster is a bit alarming to me, let alone £125! ) 😮😁 xxxx

(I certainly wasn't suggesting getting one out of a skip, by the way! 😮😮 Just maybe spending a tenner on a cheap one or looking on Freegle or something)

@Cheery_Daff you are wonderful. it’s people like you that save me and you’re why I am here. You are right of course….. I’m going to have a look into my finances now and see what things look like and have a toaster rethink.

Thanj you!

Hi Missy, I've just caught up on your diary. HUGE congratulations on the house.

Sorry to read about your friend but good news they seem to be on the mend.

Our toaster packed in and we're using the grill for now. Very MSE apart from all the times I forget about the toast and it burns.....
