Best of luck with the potty training, Snuggly and Collie.
Great job on the freezer, What. I haven't done mine in the 3 years I've had it. I'll leave it until I the drawers no longer close. I just did my inside windows this afternoon, for the first time since moving in here last June. I have a window cleaner for the outside, so should aim to do inside more often.
I have to say I love my microwave and use it at least a few times a week, for heating milk, baked beans, soup, frozen veg and rice, etc and de-frosting bread products. I deliberately bought a cheap, basic one a few years ago, as I think the simpler they are, the less chance of anything going wrong. It's about 5 years old now, so not bad for £30.
Collie, is there any way you could scouts the area more? It might not be as bad as its reputation suggests. Where I live is seen as a rough area, and although it's deprived, it's not bad at all. Most people are quiet and keep themselves to themselves and we have decent facilities for a village of this size.
