Must try harder!

Smiled at the furry arm rest - similar here. I cracked and bought a ninja, but not the grill one.

Welcome to the club redo, which did you go for?

Well done on cracking the Ninja, they are amazing once you’ve got the confidence. 

Redo you won’t regret your purchase.

I’m picking my ninja up tomorrow (15 in 1). Not too sure how I’ll get on with it as I’m not the most adventurous cook and I’ve never used a pressure cooker but I’m hoping utube will guide me through 🤣🤣   Good to hear you’re all getting on well with yours xx

I keep looking an ninjas since seeing it mentioned here so many times. If I had money I would've bought one months ago. Now I'm thinking it might be cheaper to get an instant pot for beans and soups and a mini-oven style air fryer for chips and roasties, but then I remember I don't even have counter  / storing space for one new appliance, let alone 2. 😏 I could make some space but that would mean new cupboards in the utility room, the ones we have are very shallow, but that would mean even more money.

@jokono, could you sit it on your hob when using it? There’s always more clearance there.

@southern_chick I don’t have a clue about pressure cooking. I haven’t got one of those (yet). It seems to be like magic fast, but I’d be wary of blowing the lid off or something…I’m a bit clumsy! They look really good for all sorts of one pot meals and I think you can stack in layers too. 

Very sad news about her majesty today. She did such a good job and gave it her all. Most of us have never known any other monarch, so it’s a big change. I think King Charles III will still do a good job and I’m glad Camilla will be Queen Consort, anything else would have felt mean. She’s pulled her weight since they married. 

It’s been a strange afternoon!

A very strange afternoon & I agree with you.  I feel so sad tonight - such strange times xx

It is sad about the Queen, she’s just always been there. I got to work this morning and there are flowers on the steps to our office. The security guard was in tears.

@Sun_Addict it’s a bit of a shock for most of us as she’s been the queen for all of our lives. 

I’m so glad it’s Friday, it’s been a terribly long week.

I hope everyone has had a good day. I did a bit of housework, a bit of baking, a bit of a jigsaw and started off a new quilt project. What have you all been up to?
