Cheers @KajiKita have also put it on listings sites but don't suppose that many people are often in the market for an oven!
Incidentally, if anyone lives near East London and wants to buy this oven off us do DM 😁

I have absolutely crashed today too … Went to bed for a nap, set my phone timer for 30 minutes and after it went off just enjoyed the peace and quiet of looking at the ceiling in comfort. Just what I needed 😊

Well done for hearing the timer @KajiKita, think I would've turned it off and gone back to sleep if I'd dared a nap! Btw my autocarrot said well done for hearing the tiger, so well done for that too 😁
I have done my electoral roll COA then once I pressed send I got the fear, it is okay to do it one week in advance right, since we already own and access the place?

Oh I have the jangliest, bounciest, most cheerful sounder on my timer (something softer for my actual phone alarm) so there was no chance of rolling over! 😉 I’d be happy to entertain a tiger, at arms length … 🐅 😳🤩😂
Yes, no problem at all, t’is your manor now … 🤷♀️😊
One week to go …. It’s getting real … 🤩🎉🎊❤️ Am happy to post down camping stoves if needed for a bit …

Ha thanks @KajiKita we have a hob and a microwave and we're planning on finding out where the nearest chippie is on moving in day so should be okay 😁
Mr PIP's parents have kindly said they will store the oven for us in their garden workspace shed so at least I can stop stressing about having to look at the bloody thing in the middle of the kitchen!
