Kitchen woe this week.

First discovered the washing machine had a minor leak and had ruined the kitchen floor.

The the dishwasher fell off its perch.

Then yesterday the main oven packed up.

The today the top often caught fire. The smoke was absolutely acrid.

So instead of buying a new cooker I ordered a Dominoes Pizza for tea. £6 off with the Blue Light card
