Everyday is an excellent day if I wake up.

I think it's the enzymes but I could be wrong. We use non-bio as it's better on my skin due to being a bit excema prone.

I did not realise the difference between them. Thank you for the clarification.

Dunno about the maths, but it sounds like spending a fiver to save a penny... A bit like a cat show friend looking to buy a heated clothes dryer rack thingy to use instead of her tumble drier.

If my oven went t*ts up I might buy one, but in the mean time it's not something I can justify buying.

Thank you, glad it's not just me who thought that spending lots of money to save pounds might not be a good idea. I am not keen on gadgets.

My Poppity Ping has an option of "convection oven". Being small in volume it heats up very quickly.

Tesco done and dusted. Black pudding and bacon has been acquired, and a large kilo lump of cheddar. Plus I got three litre cartons of organic milk and a packet of chocolate biskits on yellow sticker.

Minestrone soup, then chilli & rice for supper.

Now relaxing with a nice

Sorry, this is a foul posting.

Having two trivial items is not allowed. They almost become relevant.

Oi! No one told me we were playing Mornington Crescent...

Yes, spending money to save money poses its own problems. That said, I have an air-fryer and find it pretty useful - quick, low-fat, and cheap to use. Surprisingly heavy, though. So if you, like me, don't have spare working surfaces with nearby power outlets, you'll find yourself lugging it about.

I enjoy that at work too: we get freight trains about every six minutes; today we had everything from a high speed container train to two wood wagons behind a small diesel.

It are mainly containers tbh, but even containers come in all sorts of sizes and colour schemes, and some do have really good "street art" on them.

Mainly Class 66 locos on the goods trains, but occasionally we get something a bit more interesting.

I used to have a Poppity Ping with a convection oven setting.
First time I used the convection setting I melted all my Omega 3-6-9's into one globby mess in their pot that lived on the top.

nice, until the middle of 1st grade we lived 1 block away from a elevated train in the North Bronx. the sounds are romantic to me. the screeching of steel on steel & the sparks, the thumpity thump of wheel after wheel rolling across the seams. loved it all. we called it "the L". it was all electric, by my time, but it started with steam locomotives

Did you meet your love by the gasworks wall?

I don't mind gadgets - if it's something I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of, then I'll buy it. But otherwise not. Some stuff is just gadgetty for gadgets sake...

I've only got a 6ft x 9ft galley kitchen, so have to really think about storage space. I'm a traditional gal though - I have a little mini deep fat frier, which I've had since my student days. It makes the best chips ever, though I *do* use beef dripping...

I just went into our kitchen and discovered the grisly remains of the innards of a Pigeon on the floor ! I don't think it walked in there by itself ! I suspect that Georgie may have helped it !

We get a variey of locmotives because as well as German Railways, we have a lot of private operators, plus state railways from Luxemburg, France and Switzerland. The Bern-Löschberg-Simplon also runs past us; it's amazing I get any work done, frankly.

Have to find a new name for it.

Not happy with the steering wheel I've made. I think I'll call it a prototype and try to come up with another approach.
