OUCH!!!!!!!!😱 Avril

So the idyllic large house in the rural countryside comes at a hefty price?😲 Not so idyllic after all. Another dream shattered😒 Avril

I would think that your total gas and electricity versus my electricity and solid fuel costs would be much the same if either of us had the time or inclination to work out😁 However, as long as they are paid, I'm content. Avril

Our last electricity bill, September, was £136. This latest one, but only 26 days, was £133 before the £66 discount. After what I was expecting, I'll take it. Avril

There are 4 of us wowzz so the shower, washer and cooking is obviously double, and they do pay towards the bill. Your gas water heater will make a difference as mine is heated with the solid fuel. It's been about 15 years since I had a monthly bill as low as yours. Do you have gas central heating? Avril

Only for the turkey kalos. Everything else will go in the air fryer(I hope)😉 Avril

I don't have gas zap only electricity, and the central heating is solid fuel. Before this recent increase our electric bills were averaging £135 month. I don't have a tumble drier or dishwasher, just the normal fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave, cooker,(but now using air fryer instead) shower, tv, lighting etc. I've yet to see if, or by how much the solid fuel prices have increased🤞 Avril

I paid our first (increased) electric bill yesterday, and I'm sure the air fryer was a very useful investment. It was only 26 days instead of the usual month so I divided the bill (before the discount) by 26, multiplied it by 30 and estimated the approx increase from last month. If my calculations are correct🤔??? then it is a monthly increase of about £22 We've used the same appliances as we normally would, so any saving is down to the air fryer. Maths isn't my strongest suit so I may have got this totally wrong. 🥴 All replies gratefully accepted😊 Avril .

Happy birthday Presto. The perfect day for spoiling yourself so shop til you drop😁 Avril

For me it was was 63, the day I retired. Avril

Have a very Happy Birthday bro🥂 Sis x

It's not my 'air that's the problem bro, it's the rest of me😏 Sis

I remember her, actress and singer. I love the old fashioned musicals and remember her from those. A very pretty lady with a lovely clear voice. Avril

I agree with you. I avoid having my picture taken whenever possible. ''The camera adds 10lbs'' so it's said, but if that's true why does Frank always look like the 'Silver Fox' and I look like Mrs Blobby?😒 Avril

Happy birthday Graham, and have lovely meal tonight with your two favourite ladies.🥂 Avril

Why would he do that? Protein is good for you😊 Avril

I've found a conversion calculator on line and bookmarked it. Converts oven temp and cooking time from oven to air fryer, and it's worked really well. It's lovefoodnotcooking.com/air fryer calculator Avril You'll have to type it in yourself Bob, I haven't a clue how to do it like others do on here so that you can click straight on to it🥴

I went for a Uten 5.5 ltr Air Fryer, £78, and so far so good. I still need the oven for pizza (too big to fit in the basket) and oven baked risotto(it won't cook rice dishes) but I have only used the oven 3 times in 4 weeks when it's normally once sometimes twice a day. Every little helps. Look after the pennies ect, ect............ Avril

Many congratulations Mr & Mrs kalos. Our children are wonderful and our grandchildren are an absolute delight. Avril

I hasten to add, that the little plastic containers I use are washed, dried and reused for the next next holiday😉 Avril

I'm a little mystified over the problem of lack of supplied toiletries in cabins! Simple solution, take your own. I've never used the toiletries supplied and much prefer my own brands. I take travel sizes or transfer some into small plastic bottles. Avril

A really miserable morning here. Raining heavily and so dark I've had to put the lights back on. Worse to come with thunder storms forecast for this afternoon. Seems as though a lazy day of reading and catching up on CC is on the cards. Stay warm and dry everyone and enjoy your day whatever you have planned. Avril

I hope all goes well on Monday Ann. Such a sad time, but you will have many wonderful memories of your Mum that will last forever. Avril

Are you quite sure about that bro?😁 Sis

Congratulations Harry, I'm proud of you😉 Avril
