Overflowing When are they going home? If I were you I might be tempted to start crossing the days off the calendar even if it's perfectly obvious that it has never been done before! I'd put a circle on the date they are returning home if I was feeling really aggrieved!
Ruby I'm not going to be much help to you, I'm afraid! The few days we were without an oven a few years ago were a torture for me!
Slow cooker:- Sorry, I've never had one.
Cook on the hob:- I mainly use it for cooking veg, sometimes use a frying pan for bacon or eggs or something, oh and omlette and french toast (eggy bread).
Microwave:- I tend to use it for cooking frozen veg, heating up baked beans and that's it.
No cook:- salad, buy cooked chicken or joints from the butcher or supermarket and put with salad.
No other ideas, sorry.
Ok, off to do some ironing as our sheets from last week and ours that have been washed today all need to be ironed and I know for a fact that I don't have a third set of king size bed sheets!
