My brew is 2 egg cups of oats, 5 of milk and uWave for 5 mins in a bowl that could take double the quantity. Open the door immediately that it is done to avoid steaming up the oven. It got 15 minutes on full - full being 1kW of nukage. Its cleaning up nicely, but gradually. NT |

It was about 8 days later I returned home .....and the electric or gas bill ? Ameliorated by no heating , lighting or TV etc use for the period. In any case compared to the cost of the journey insignificant,Bank manager was most displeased as a letter from him with some concerns arrived a day after we left. In them days when cashing a cheque at an European bank they marked a little box in the back of the cheque book,I always renewed before one ran out so had 3 of them to use in sequence. Technically it was fraud or something I suppose but what the heck,you only pass through late teenage fun years once. Ironically I took on a Sunday job basically a very posh paper round to clear the over draught and the bank manager was one of the customers and ended up owing me money, when it came to settling up he proffered a cheque,it was hard to keep a straight face when i replied" only with a bankers card". having never actaully met me he only twigged who I was when asking for my name as it was on my account to write it.

Actually, the latter didn't work all that well for me as a grill pan cleaner recently, but I had a toddler running around so couldn't use caustic. Wish I knew where to get the gel used by the pro oven cleaning firms |
