I have been told that one of the builders should be with me on Tuesday, weather permitting. Anyhow, Ali says that once they crack on, I will be astounded at how fast it grows!
Bearing that in mind, I went and reserved a cooker and extractor this afternoon. The store will hold the order for me as long as I need. I just have to allow 2 weeks for delivery. The August sale price was still on the cooker, and it only cost just over double the price of the extractor. It's a good make, is cream and black, double oven plus grill and pan storage, with 4 regular gas burners, a wok burner, and a small ceramic hotplate. A proper big range cooker! The ovens are electric, and A-rated for energy.

Kinda makes a mockery of me being on a diet, really!
