Thanks 2020, you've excelled yourself. 6pm on bloody Christmas Eve. Can't afford an electrician's holiday rates.

Microwaved dinners all round tomorrow.

Anyone got any wine?

Oh no, my cooker packed it at lunchtime as well! It’s like 2020 parting shot isn’t it! I found a appliance engineer and got it fixed. I called around 30+ before I found one. Is there any in your local area you could appeal to on Facebook or call? Sorry, what a pain for you. There are reasonably priced small ovens in Argo if there is one still open around near you?

Also .... Wine

Oh bloody hell op. Any nice neighbours with some spare oven space? Or a relative nearby?

My washer died today 😔 but you trump me with the cooker.

Do you have a slow cooker? I often cook a whole chicken in mine. Wine

Mine too, have you got a bbq?

Look on FB marketplace.

Just order a takeaway and save the Christmas dinner for a fee days 👍

Thanks all. I'm going to have to get creative with the gas hob. Wine will help get the noggin joggin' WineSmile

Have a slow cooker or borrow one last minute? You can cook loads in them. I had to put the pork roast in it and slow cook the bastard overnight but OMG Xmas pulled pork with cranberry sauce was the best damn meal ever. Cooked chicken etc in it too.

I had to Boxing Day 2yrs ago after my cooker gave up Xmas day just as dessert was finishing 😭

CatVsChristmasTree · 24/12/2020 18:53

Oh no!
Could you borrow a halogen oven or airfryer? That would do the roast potatoes at least!

My sister is barbecuing a turkey, could that work for you?
