Our new cooker is perfect with a lot of features we hadn't realised it had, a de-frost setting and a proving setting for making bread. So Dh is very happy, as its he who does all the cooking and I'm happy too! I might have a go myself and make some of the extras we have at Christmas time. We had a very tasty chicken Sunday dinner, the oven heats up a lot faster too, so perhaps the old one was failing for a while?
The only snag is the company we bought it from keeps texting to ask how was........ the delivery, the unpacking, the driver, bringing it into our house etc. I've given up answering and now delete them. And the phone call to push for the extra cover, no thank you; its guaranteed for 5 years, more than we thought.
To be honest if I was in better health and it wasn't Christmas I would have looked into having the old one repaired, but needs must sometimes and I just couldn't face the stress.
We had to connect it up ourselves, its a duel fuel but Dh knew what to do.
We were all set to go walking in the afternoon yesterday, but the heavens opened and the grey skies let us have what they've been threatening all week. I watched the squirrel skip through the drops straight to the fat balls we put out for the birds, not a bit bothered by the rain. He's amazing the way he hangs upside down by his tail, gobbling away, his little pink ears sticking right up. He's been digging at the edge of the flower bed, so hope he's left some bulbs for me!
So we're all calm with a cooker that works and some Christmassy things in the lounge and as we've sent our cards and presents to Dh's grand children so we feel organized.. I've sent birthday cards to two friends who have birthdays right after Christmas and Dh's remembered his son in law's.. so all happy here and our tree lights are twinkling!
