  • With regards to freezers, my daughter had to empty hers as someone had left the door open.  She found a packet of breast milk and her son was 5 years old !!!  I will not let her forget that one 
  • Anyone else doing the 🐙savings hour? Allowed Mr SA the TV on but that’s it. Fortunately my laptop is fully charged for my Zumba in a minute. Disco ball also fully charged 😆

    First £150 sent to YBS Christmas Saver. 
    I did the saving hour. No tv, I switched the heating off and read my book using just a table lamp. Had my tea afterwards.

    I also opened the YBS Christmas saver account today.

  • Yumm the stir fry sounds nice. I keep thinking about getting an air fryer but still don't know if I would use it enough just for me.
    If you got one with the drawers I'm sure you'd use it a lot. You can do a lot more than air fry with them - roast, bake, etc. You could always buy a small one and see how you get on with it. I often use the air fryer just for me as we all eat different things. 
    Do you know of any good makes 
    I've got a Ninja Dual and love it but they are quite expensive. I believe some cheaper makes are pretty decent so you could Google air fryer reviews and see what you think. Might be worth starting off with a cheaper model to see how you go. 
    I saw a small one the other day but I can't remember where 😂 there was a programme on tonight on channel 5 about air fryers so I will watch it on catch up to see what they tested

    OBL not sure if you know anyone with a c@stc@ card. Both myself and ds bought a Gormia air fryer from there. £42 when we bought  them and they’re brilliant. We both use them a lot.I’d previously bought a tower one but it wasn’t really big enough so we take that in the motorhome with us.
    I’m pleased there’s an appointment on the cards for Mr SA.

    Thanks for this I'm not sure if there is one near me but I will ask around

    We have that Gormia one too - it is massive over 7 litre capacity.  Have seen smaller capacity airfryers starting around £20 in the discount shops.  Also a couple around £15 at local chazza. 
    I only need a small one. I saw one the other day that would be the perfect size but I can't remember where I was 😂it might have been Wilkos so I will have a look

  • We have a Philip's air fryer that we have had for years now. It's at least six years. It is brilliant and we use it most days.

    In fairness it is probably getting ready for replacing. It's getting difficult to clean now but we can't fault it and would certainly look to get another Philips one.
    That's good going I will keep the brand in mind 😊

  • Sorry SA I've highjacked your diary with airfryer recommendations. Thanks for the info everyone
