How can 15 mins be 4 calories but an hour (i.e. 4 times longer) be 190? 4 X 4 = 16?
 
My mum made it VERY clear years ago that housework-related gifts were not acceptable under any circumstances...LOL.:D Hope you get something nice, Sally.🙂
My parents have bought themselves a G-Tech Air Ram + mini one + car attachments for their combined birthdays and Christmas presents and they are well happy - and I don't really know what I want so something useful is just as good, if it will save me having to buy one. I don't wear much jewellery or make up, don't often read real books any more, don't really want much in the way of clothes, eat far too much chocolate and junk anyway so can do without that (and really should know better knowing what I know about diabetes, shouldn't I :(). I'm starting to sound a bit boring!

Hubby says we can get a new vacuum cleaner in the January sales and he'll just stick black tape over the damaged cable in the meantime 😱 . So I still don't really know what I want for Christmas :(. Last year I had an iPad for my birthday and expensive music player for Christmas so am not expecting to have loads spent on me this year!

Hubby bought me a pressure cooker one year, which was a complete surprise. I didn't know how to take that at all, although I think he just thought it would make cooking easier for me so I decided not to be mad at him! I used it quite a lot for a while, but have now come to the conclusion that I'd rather cook things for longer in a normal saucepan and get a nice rich sauce, it always comes out really watery from the pressure cooker. So I haven't used the thing for ages now :(
 
Well...I'm beyond words with that one......
 
A little late opening today's door, but as you can see, it was well worth waiting for (especially for @Sally71 😱 :D)

Looks like they're going to be off burning more calories doing something else. :D
 
Why the long face?!:D
 
Just caught up in the calendar.
Thanks Northerner.
