Aww, I wouldn't let that happen sibs. I'd poke her in the eye.

gness is quite right. When I moved into this house there were a huge amount of saucepans, all nice and clean and ready for use. I gave them away to make more room. This week I had a fire - I put something on to cook and then went off and forgot it. Fortunately the smell warned me and it did not get bigger but the only saucepan I had is a complete blackened wreck and is now in the bottom of the wheelie-bin I really need those other saucepans now.

[Blackiequine]

Ooooooh! metal in the wheelie - get the rubbish police!!
