Officially declared dead this morning and cannot be revived. The guy has disconnected it so I can't use it at all Shocked

I have two guests in for two nights and one for evening meal. I can do salad for tea Very Happy but breaky is going to be more problematic. I'll have to fetch me gas camping cooker from the lotty, single ring job Very Happy

The cooker man recommends I get an Aga Rangemaster to replace it.Anyone got one and what do you think to it. Don't want to buy another hunka junk Sad

I am still trying to get someone to fit my Rayburn - trying to find somebody to do the 'wet side' as well as the 'hot side' is a nightmare Evil or Very Mad

Most of our friends think we are mad going for a solid fuel hot water and cooking but when Russia turns off the gas and prices get even sillier you can all come aroubd for a warm and dinner Razz

The Smeg is now out on the drive. The temptation to smash it with my sledge hammer was overwhelming but I resisted. Don't want to be landed with it for a day longer and hopefully by the end of today I won't ever have to see the pile of rubbish again.

Tee hee. Had to smile this morning. Got the pan out for me porridge, mixed it with water and turned to put the pan on the stove Embarassed
What a plonker Laughing
