Yes, I think the instant pot is an electric pressure cooker. The one I've got is also a rice cooker, slow cooker, sauté thing, steamer, yoghurt and soup maker. I've asked it to take DS to university in a few weeks, it probably does that as well
I hard boiled eggs in it this morning. Used the pressure cooker function and it didn't blow up!
Oh that's crap lonely about the car. Fucks sake.
wolf/girlie I found pre teens much harder than teens. Hormones, move to high school, friendship issues all in the mix. Dd was quite volatile for 18 months, like a large toddler with more attitude. I found both of mine haven't really concurred with the stereotypical teen, they are hugely pleasant individuals. It was the bit before hard that you guys are in that was worse.
Thanks for the tip about spring bulbs. That might work, I want to plant fennel in there next year and that's sowed late April or early March. So I could clear the bed by then.
So all my chores are done apart from menu planning.

£2.50 animal print leggings from M&S, chuffed as I had a £10 promotion on my account and the Hush alternative are £££.
£40 new jumper and pleated culottes in dark grey for work.
We've also got a ball park figure for wood flooring upstairs. It's £££ as I knew it would be, but you only stick wood down once and it looks better as it gets older. Our downstairs looks fab now, limed oak ageing well. Will mull but DH wants to do it.
DS is busy making tea, home made pizza. He's busy roasting peppers and chopping stuff, grating cheese etc. I'm sat with a 🍷.
