Progress not Perfection

Tiggermad

Hi Sun Addict, I'm a long term lurker following your thread. I think you do an amazing job to manage with Mr SA and all life throws at you.

I see you are a bit of a Ninja queen. We just taken delivery of a Ninja air fryer. Have you got any tips for a newbie? For example, should you preheat before using? Any tips gratefully received - I know there are lots of tips on the web but a lot of them contradict each other and I'd rather get tips from people successfully using them!

Just caught up after my holiday.  Laughed out loud at the dirty washing being pegged on the line and the wet washing being unpegged.  I'm sure it's not amusing to you when it happens but you write about Mr SA)s escapades with such a dry sense of humour.

MrBC is the king of the laundry here - he has devised a complex system for extra water, soaking and preferred programme and he gets quite twitchy if I interfere.  I've taught him how to peg out the washing as he used to dangle the garments with pegs in random places.  He is very good at folding clean washing and does a brilliant job with bed linen which he folds neatly and fits the duvet cover, sheet and pillow slips into one of the pillowcases.  So easy to store and chose fresh bed linen.

No you don’t have to preheat them. I just tend to bung things in and hope for the best to be honest 😆 Don’t use fry light on them though it ruins the non stick. Enjoy experimenting they are amazing machines, not used my oven for almost 3 years now.

You have to preheat my ninja.
I guess they are all different.

My Ninja oven automatically preheats itself but only for a minute the other two don’t need to.

Took the duvet to the launderette £8 to use the machine - £8 🙀 Sat outside Cost@ and had a coffee while it was washing. 

Did some gardening this afternoon then sat in my hanging chair reading with a glass of rosé. The Prosecco is still in the fridge and will be rolled over to next weekend now. 

Didn’t get round to making soup so made myself a tuna salad for work lunch tomorrow. The salad stuff needs using up anyway.

Forgot to say I’ve had a painful crick in my neck all blooming day 🙁 I must’ve slept in an awkward position. It really hurts when I move my head to the left 😞

Are you sure you don't need a nice relaxing Prosecco to counteract the neck pain? On the other hand, paracetamol is cheaper and helps counterbalance that laundry bill!
