I think it's just a come down off a very stressful week, but now to cap it off the oven has just gone bang taking out the power, disconnected it so all is good, but can you believe I can't find anybody with stock to go pick up a new one. Everybody can get one to me tomorrow but I want one NOW!!!!!! I'm not stressed again honestly

Today I finished the build of my new recumbent. There's a few minor fettles to do such as checking gear shifts, setting limit screws, fitting end caps to mudguard stays, and insulating tape over unused rear Dynamo light spade terminals. But otherwise done. Chain bit longer than I intended, will see if that causes any issues during my first test ride. If it does it is joined with quick links so no biggy to shorten. Ran out of light / time and rain arrived for the final touches today. Test ride tomorrow.

Oven - likely the heating element. They aren't hard to replace and takes about 30 minutes including pulling the oven out.

Out into the garden shortly after 9am. Tidy up of the greenhouse, replace a broken pane, then cut up the pile of old fence ship lap into chimnea sized pieces for use next year. Took two hours to cut up, as we had that much timber (and I was cheating with a big electric mitre saw - grrrr chop chop - PS one of the best £100 quids I've spent - handy for decking). Then onto tidying the area where the wood had been stored, then a trip to the tip. 5 hours later, all sorted.

It does work, starts getting up to temperature & then trips the ECCD/RCCDBLT or whatever it's called, it's likely to be the thermostat as it does it with the grill as well. But I can't be bothered to strip it, order the part, get the wrong one, order the right one for something else to go on Christmas just like it's predecessor
 
C'mon, don't hold us suspense. And the filling is ... ?

...diminishing, I suspect.

Ah, that sounds complcated and not a good idea with Christmas coming up. Ours went doing Sunday lunch, but it just blew the main fuse, then that was it, didn't work - had power/clock/fan/grill but no oven heat. Was only £12 for the part.
