Thanks SuzieSue I have had a look at them before but always stopped myself buying one as I have a fan assisted oven but looking at the feedback it sounds like you can use them. Cleaning is booked for Thursday will be so nice when you can turn the oven on without smoking out the house.

Mine's also fan assisted and I haven't had a problem with it - from reading the reviews it depends on whether the fan is at the top or the bottom. One of the reviewers suggested using magnets to hold the oven liner down if your fan is at the bottom of the oven which sounds like a good idea.

Just called up to get my oven cleaned its the job I had the most after de-icing the freezer (luckily the new one is frost free). They were on answerphone hopefully they will call back. Never had it done professionally before but sure its better than doing it yourself and mine is sooooo bad.

Hi TG

Are you using Cookaburra by any chance? My mother and sister use them (my oven doesn't get used enough to get dirty :rotfl:) and speak very highly off them indeed. It's true the oven does come up like new and the prices are very reasonable wieihed against the trauma of doing it yourself and it never being perfect.

Thanks aboutmetoo that is nice to know this one is Ovencare they say they are non-franchise just got a flyer in the door. Did not do much research but I thought £32 was ok. Hopefully it will be good.

Gym was good yesterday just did 45 min but feel it today determined to do Pump tonight at 6pm.

Off to two army bases today to do some talks should be nice to get out and about again. Got a few more MS and my neighbour has finally got signed up and they have a hotel visit. Nice for them to have something to do both out of work although he is waiting for a contract to come up with the navy.

Oven, hob and extractor currently being done it will be £52 but worth getting it all done I hope. Working from home yet again and today I must get loads done so much to update so many emails to send.

Mystery Shopping going well did one yesterday and got 1 tonight and then Fri, Sat and Sun so that is 5 days in a row 1 each day nothing like some who can do 9 a day. I really admire that no way could I do that would get it all muddled up I am sure.

Now I shall try to eat healthy on all this MS lunches and dinners and I have been good all week only had 2 glasses of wine. After I feel ill that Monday it has not really tasted the same which is fine by me.

Might go to the gym tonight after work and then Pilates Friday.

Other than that not a lot to report oh yes did spend £100 on two second hand golf clubs but they were just what I wanted.

Oven and hob is as new really pleased with the result also got the extractor done with new filter happy to pay £52 for the lot. Took him 3 hours to do it so must have been bad. Now I must get one of the those Oven Magics hopefully get it in Bournemouth or Salisbury where I am MS on Sat and Sun.

My second golfclub has turned out its perfect apart from being left handed. Cannot believe I made such a basic mistake its even listed as Left Handed so totally fault. Still want to get one so back to Ebay and now I have something to sell again. Rubbish really.

More spending happened yesterday afternoon I got a flyer about a sale at Long Tall Sally. Got a dress down to £45 from £65 I had tried on and quite liked when I went to Exeter. A swimsuit down to £15 and a pair of grey trousers also in the sale. £94 that lot came to but will go back if I don't like the dress.

Nice MS shop last night had to drink Pimms and get paid for it not bad at all. Tonight is Mexican very close to here and DH decided he is not that keen to taking gym friend and neighbour will be nice to catch up with her.

Kitchen smelled a bit of cat wee this morning wonder if they need to snip asap they are now 8 months those two boys. Was hoping to wait until after we have been on holiday.

Working from home so will try not to spend any more money this week its been a bit hectic mind you I think I deserve it in time for the holiday.

Mystery Shop last night was really good apart from waiting 1 hour for the main course. My friend and I had a nice chat but when she had more than 2 glasses of wine she looses it and becomes quite irritating really which is why her husband never let her drink wine. She is fine with lager can drink that all night long. In the end it cost us £10 each for the night incl a taxi home so well worth it and we had a drink at home with the husbands when we came back. Got to bed at 12.30 which is well past my bedtime and DH woke me up at 6.30am so a bit tired today.

Today MS lunch was lovely lovely and could not be faulted. One again to tomorrow so that will be £100 on food over the last 3 days maybe I should look into registering as self employed and doing my tax return.

Finally managed to get into Santander to sort out topping up my new savers account turns out you cannot top it up only allowed one S/O paying every month will loose out a bit as I only got £25 in there this month instead of £250 not that much really.

Good news got 3 golf gloves for £10 bargain and I needed them plus booked train to Gatwick Airport for £10 for the 2 of us. So so cheap and my friend will take us to the Station so should only need a taxi to the hotel or shuttle bus. Taxi all the way in the morning would have cost us £70 this way its £10 for the train poss £10 for the shuttle bus to the hotel and £54 for the hotel. About the same but a nice way to get up there I think. Might even get a MS at the airport to pay for breakfast.

Off to try my new club out although not the left handed one I bought by mistake. Hope you are enjoying the sunny weather its so hot on the South coast.

What a nice weekend and superb weather raining a bit this morning but the garden really needs it so I don't mind. 2 weeks of work then holiday so happy about that.

MS yesterday was even better than the day before so 10 out of 10 again. Still have two jobs with queries on that I might not get paid for but its only for £3 and £4.80 so not a whole lot. Managed to get to Lakeland Plastic and got my oven liner now fitted so thank for suggesting it to me. Determined to keep the own clean this time. Also got my sisters birthday present purchased after the MS lunch while DH watched the F1 race in a Weatherspoons. Even better got some football socks (proper ones) for nephew England ones again £2 down from £7. Bargain but now have so much stuff to take over I might not have room for anything myself. Will have to pack carefully.

Did not get a lot else done yesterday as we went to the in laws straight from lunch. They are really getting old but then they are 80 and 84. FIL new raised beds are doing ok for some veg but not others I think its because they are shaded. Shame really but a lot of the trees they have around their garden are protected sadly. FIL is going to get his neighbour to help out in the business while we are away so that is a relief and we should now be able to go away without a hitch.

Working from home today so going to the gym for 1 hour look forward to it. Nearly made the wine challenge this week only went over by 1 glass quite pleased with that.

TallGirl

Hope you are all having a nice week hump day - down hill to the weekend. Done more MS jsut small one and got a dinner tomorrow at a historic pub in Portsmouth should be nice. Done well twice to the gym and on my second glass of wine this week pretty good.

Bought some sandalls today £49 down from £70 would never had paid £70 but they are quite smart and comfy. That is it no more spending before we go on holiday have enough stuff now definitely.

Chilling out in front of the box also going to watch The Open cheering the Danes on. Loved going to St Andrews so sitting here remembering running around on the course in dark hinting to DH that a trip to St Andrews would be a nice 40th Birthday present.
